This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]524483[/split]
So let me get this straight they don't have a director for this or a cast and they are supposed to have an out next year in October. Directors have to prep movies.
Sony gonna Sony
I want Venom to fight Carnage inside the internet, that's a really good story they can take inspiration from.
here's something to consider
do you guys truly believe that Marvel would allow Sony to cast another live action spider-man without taking legal recourse?
I'm not too brushed up on the details of the agreement, but I feel like that is something that Marvel would be vehemently against before agreeing to a deal. Like Marvel would say to sony "We are not agreeing to a deal where you can cast another live action spider-man in a separate universe only to cause further confusion"
Yes, because the rights are with Sony first and foremost. Second, Sony was the one who agreed to the deal who only agreed because they knew it'd save face from embarrassment of their previous mistakes. They are largely in the brunt of things. Sony would be well within their rights of using their character if/when they see necessary.
A Spider-Man that could very well be minor in the role of the Venom film? Yeah, I highly doubt that'd have people up in arms. The Quicksilver case is a perfect example of coexisting between the same property. Sure, you can argue Quicksilver and Spider-Man aren't the same on the basis of popularity but on the basis of two existing characters? That argument applies. If this was truly such an issue, the Miles film would also be in jeopardy for reasons of 'confusion of multiple Spider-Men'.
Also, who's to say we have Peter in this as a definite? It could easily just be a Spider-Man who serves a purpose of creating Venom and nothing more. Could be much more. Who really knows? Bottom line: If Sony deems Spider-Man necessary to Venom (and he is), he'll be in.
Only if Aunt Carnage cameos and her goal is to feed people wheat cakes to death.![]()

I am thoroughly convinced Sony wants to commit financial suicide.
Well Marvel really can't sue them since they don't own the rights but I would expect they have rules placed like Peter Parker not showing up in standalone spin offs
Everyone who knew Sony knew that was going to happen. And then Rothman came on board and it was a certaintyin response to R_Hythlodeus, I'm saying that I don't think Marvel would have agreed to a deal with Sony if they knew sony might eventually cast another live action spider-man in a separate universe.
And why would Sony want to put a severe hamper on box-office potential for their own spinoffs by excluding Spider-Man? I remember when the deal was announced, Pascal still planned on doing the spinoffs without Feige's involvementWell Marvel really can't sue them since they don't own the rights but I would expect they have rules placed like Peter Parker not showing up in standalone spin offs
