I'm suspecting an R rating.

Venom Movie Revived at Sony

Venom has been divorced from Spider-man for a very long time now. And Agent Venom seems to be very popular. So I could see it working.
Not everyone grew up with 90's Venom. So a Venom movie doesn't have to cater to them.
Would it really be so bad if we got something like this?
You know you just contradicted yourself.

Only if it is
a) Flash Thompson in the future doing his best Mission Impossible imitation.
b) Eddie Brock on his anti-hero thing.
c) an anthology film with the symbiote acting like a common character, enabling the worst traits in people and driving them mad.

I'm thinking this is the reason. R rated edgy spiderman esque film. The kids will love it

You don't get to bring friends.
The kids who can't watch it hehe
They will fuck it up like how Sony fucked up Spider-Man.
And it will crash and burn because Venom is nothing like Deadpool.
Venom whole story is tied with Spider-Man right down to his origin and you can't have Flash Venom without Spider-Man as Flash was inspired by Spider-Man to be a hero.

Yeah, I totally have this pegged as a "reaction to Deadpool" movie

You mean the Venom symbiote first worn by Spider-Man that's worn by Flash Thompson, Peter Parker's former bully turned buddy?
Yeah, totally divorced from Spider-Man.

Ok, fine, a Venom movie.. why not?
Stand alone? Sure that works.
But they seemingly are taking it a step further and setting in its own continuity, unrelated to the new Spider-Man? What's the point. Well, maybe the Spider-Man is dodging a bullet with that choice.

Even Agent needs Spider-man to work seeing as you need the prior relationships peter had to Flash and the Symboite.

Agent Venom is separated enough that they could do a decent movie about Remender's run.
Brock Venom? With no Spiderman? The fuck man

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I would love an Agent Venom story, but his friendship with Peter (and history of bullying him/worshipping Spiderman) are huge parts of his character.
He's like an STD you can never get rid of.

This book was awful but I like the makeup of this team and would like to see it on the big screen.
I don't think it's been a major part of the character anytime in the past few years of Agent Venom stories (yes, I might be forgetting something).
Avi Arad AFAIK is contractually guaranteed a producer credit on all Spider-Man movie Sony makes. I doubt he has much of any creative involvement in the movies going forward.
I thought Sony was backing off with the spinoffs after they signed with Marvel? Weird of them to return with this if so.
Besides, the symbiote can be used to cool effect in the MCU. Have Spidey find and bond with it at the end of one of his solo films, then have him swing around in a bunch of other characters' films with the black suit, showing how it's affecting him over time, and then deal with the consequences of it in the next solo.

That looks like spawn lite, even more than Todd's original venom.
I'd rather venom be tied to spiderman before they spin it off.

Agent Venom movie with loose ties to the MCU?
That's a damn great analogy.

Does this mean Venom is off the table for the MCU and new Spider-Man? Wouldn't be upset about that, to be honest.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Sony should just go all out.
J. Jonah Jameson film with J.K. Simmons.
It'll get ALL the Oscars.
I think it's up to Sony and Marvel to negotiate, it's not as simple as some people on here would have you to believe.

Add Carnage make it hard R... Or bust
It really isn't, the symbiote origin is tied to Peter Parker whom rejected the suit when he realised that the symbiote was changing his behavior.
The symbiote then later bonded with Eddie who hated Spider-Man for exposing him fake story and the symbiote was willing to work with him because Peter rejected it and revealed all of Peter's secrets including how to bypass his spider sense.
Eddie also had a warp moral in the sense that he would spare the innocent and punish the guilty and that Spider-Man is the cause of what went wrong in his life.
Flash really can't work without Spider-Man as the man idolized Spider-Man and created a Spider-Man fan club and got his moral point from Spider-Man.
A Venom movie without any Spider-Man element will end up being a Venom movie in name only.
Plus Sony track record shown that they do not get the Spider-Man universe I doubt that they could pull off a good Venom movie, heck they couldn't pull off a good Spider-Man movie.

Rick Remender Agent Venom please, and uh since Marvel sharing control of Spider-man shouldn't that include his characters? I ask because shouldn't that mean Marvel Studios should have a say in this movie.

Troll Venom would be amazing to witness on the big screen, but unlikely to happen.
Oh I would love to see a Thunderbolts movie. Especially something set in the Post-Civil War run when Norman Osborn was in charge.
And there's another story including Venom without Spider-man.

Sounds horrible. Just give us the faithful, regular old stalker. Eddie Brock venom with a victim complex.
No giant slobbering tentacle monster.
No secret government agent.
No teen venom.
No space knight.
No bounty hunter.

They keep beating the same goddamn dead horse (solo spiderman) with the same goddamn stick (Avi Arad).
Except this time, it's without Spider-Man. And this fucks everyone over, because 1, this most likely means that Marvel won't be able to treat Venom right in the MCU at some later date, and 2, this is almost for sure going to be like a Deadpool movie, but shittier and with 1000% less charm.
This fucking deal with MAHVEL gets shittier and shittier by the second, especially since Sony seem to be the ones withholding Spider-Man from the Captain America: Civil War marketing.

I swear this seems like revenge from Tom Rothman (new head of Sony) he stopped the development of Deadpool (also fucked up a lot of other Fox comic books movies) when he was the head of Fox and now that he left and it got made with all of its success he wants to make his own.
