Sony...It's like they can't make a correct decision to save their life.
Update: March 27, 2017
Sony Reportedly Developing VENOM as R-Rated Start to Their Own Marvel Universe
Earlier in March, Sony Pictures gave Venom a release date, and now rumors suggest that the film will be the start of something potentially much bigger.
According to a new rumor coming out from Collider, Venom is being developed with the intent of the film earning an R-rating and for the film to launch a new shared Marvel Universe separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Sony’s Marvel Universe will not be connected to the MCU in any way and the planned Venom and Black Cat and Silver Sable films are all part of Sony’s own shared universe, not spin-offs of any existing films. Marvel’s Kevin Feige has nothing to do with these films; it’s Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, who’s calling the shots.
Collider's report makes it clear that the announcement of Venom‘s release date indicates that the execs are happy with the script and the new direction they’re embarking on, but with no director set for either film, obviously things can still change since all of the announced films are still in development.
According to industry casting website MyEntertainmentWorld, Venom will enter production in the fall of 2017, about one year before its release.
Another interesting tidbit from the listing is that the Venom movie is listed as an "Action/Horror/Sci-Fi" movie, an interesting mix for a superhero movie.
Sony Developing ‘Venom’ as R-Rated Start to Their Own Marvel Universe; Production Start Date Revealed
Sooooo is Spider-Man remaining in the MCU?
Will Sony have their own Spider-Man for their SMU? Or will the upcoming Spider-Man be pulled into their MU? Or will Venom exist without a Spider-Man? What?
last known superhero movie with nudity?Wow, so what's the R-rated part?... excessive violence would be a waste of a good R-Rating. Stronger Language & some tastefull nudity would be a refreshing twist to the super hero flix.
So a classic Spiderman villian without Spiderman from the new Spiderman movies is confirmed.
Well he became an antihero because of the fans.He is an antihero
