Sony Pictures are reportedly reviving their planned Spider-Man spinoff Venom movie.
Dante Harper (writer of the original draft for Edge of Tomorrow) has reportedly signed on to write the screenplay. Avi Arad (Spider-Man trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Matt Tolmach (The Amazing Spider-Man) have signed on as producers. Sony are hoping to turn Venom into a franchise that stands alone from the upcoming Spider-Man film. It’s unknown which Venom will be used in the movie.
Sony Pictures have previously tried multiple times to get a Venom movie developed. It’s unlikely that Marvel Studios will have any participation in this movie.
For anyone unfamiliar with the character, a description of Venom from the comics can be read below:
“Venom has it’s roots back in 1988 as a character created by David Micheline, Mike Zeck & Todd McFarlane. Often viewed as a villain, Venom has been seen as an anti-hero as of late and most recently, a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.”
