Venom (2010-2012)



Sony is planning on releasing the first Spider-Man spin-off and will focus on Venom. It's script is being written the duo of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The pair have previously wrote the screenplay for the horror comedy Zombieland. At this point it's unknown if they're going to aim for a strong PG-13 or R rating. They could end up taking Venom in the same direction as Lionsgate has taken Punisher in War Zone. Sony is trying to make up for awful treatment of the beloved character in Spider-Man 3. Venom is a favorite of the Spider-Man characters villain or otherwise and was almost a throw away villain in the film. The backlash from fans was obviously heard by the studio. It's rumored that the film won't involve the origin set up in Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man might not even appear.



The anti-hero who struggles with an alien symbiote who eventually will take complete control of his body. His symbiote spawns many symbiotes who combine with humans who cannot control them and end up supervillains. One of them being serial killer Cletus Kasady who becomes Carnage. Also the five other spawned symbiotes Scream, Agony, Phage, Lasher and Riot. Who together become the super symbiote Hyrid. Scream ends up becoming a hero by killing her sibling symbiotes.

Casting Thoughts:



Vin Diesel as Edward Brock/Venom



Michael C. Hall (Citizen Game) as Cletus Kasady/Carnage



Lily Cole (Parnassus) as Donna Diego/Scream
