Venom Can This Be the Start of a Venomverse?

They've already named it the Spider-Man movie world, no need to change its name to the Venom Cinematic Universe.

 

It's actually called "Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters." or SUMC for short lol

 

I think Venomverse may very well be what we, the fans, end up calling it. The current SUMC name I just sort of hate, LOL!

 

SUOMC

which is almost like SUOMI (Finland).

Or is it SUMC

Suckit U Miserable Critics cause Venom rocks!

 

Or we could just call it Turdverse. I might as well beat the detractors to the punch on that one.

 

Sandman could work and I think the not too bright, reformed criminal version of him can carry a nice character study.
At the same time I want him in the MCU's Sinister Six though.

Also could work: Jury's Sentry, Lizard, Cardiac, Demogoblin, the Spot. Yeah, the Spot, I said it, deal with it.
I'm not saying these characters could carry or should get a solo movie, to be clear, but they could round out a monster squad of sorts.

Among the proposed spin offs, Silk and Nightwatch could complement the monster theme, Kraven can be played as amoral and opportunistic and therefore could also become an ally.

Jackpot, Cat and Sable are not great shoo ins but screenwriters are paid to figure it out.

 

I would just keep them as seperate films only loosely affiliated. They're never going to have an Avengers or even Guardians of the Galaxy style film with the characters they have so I don't see the need to world build to the extent that the mcu does. They can always do the odd crossover here and there, but they could just be 'one and done' deals.

 

Theoretically I agree with you, but the more these movies will be successful, the more Sony will eye the biggest crossover possible with them.
Alas, we have yet to wait and see how the second one of these productions turns out and performs.

 

Sony is going to try really hard to have an MCU like crossover film. I don't think it will work, but seeing how much audiences love Venom, it'll probably bring in a lot of money.

 

If they start making movies like SILK, that would give them some more range. But I don't know how big a universe like this can get when you don't have access to something like the MCU.

 

If I were Sony, I'd just run with Spider-verse thing and let Venom be its own beast, separate from the MCU. But the MCU can still exist as an alternate universe. I think that's how Sony is going to work around not having a huge stable of characters to work with. Just establish multiple universes.

 

Honestly, I think they should just focus on making individual, standalone movies and develop this universe slowly. The movies would take place in the same continuity, but no massive world building until the series gets on its two feet.

 

Oh, they'll definitely call it the Venomverse!

Now where have I heard that before...

 

It might as well be the Venom-erse if the universe mostly revolves around him. But I don't know where this universe is headed or what the long-term goal is. SUMC just sounds awful.

Lol really?

 

If they keep the Kraven, and Morbius movies on the docket, October seems to be their sweet spot. They're seasonal for Halloween, and far enough away from the other Blockbusters that they won't be passed over in a week.
