Spider-Man Teased for Future ‘Venom’ Film as Co-Writer Says Sequel is in the Works!
While his origins changed for the feature film adaptation, Eddie Brock and Venom were introduced in “The Amazing Spider-Man” after Peter Parker/Spidey brought an alien symbiote back to Earth post-“Secret Wars”. The symbiote had bonded with Parker and felt betrayed when the human separated himself from the alien. This is where it came across Brock, a disgraced news reporter who shared similar “venom” towards Peter Parker. In Sony/Columbia Pictures’ feature film adaptation Venom, Spider-Man is removed from the origin story with the symbiotes being brought to Earth by the Life Foundation, and also all of them having their own distinct personalities.
The point is, Venom doesn’t have to exist in the same universe as Sony’s Spider-Man films. Still, it’s in the cards, and us longtime comic book fans may eventually see the web-slinger (once again) battling one of his greatest rivals on the big screen.
“Without revealing anything that I’m not allowed to reveal, it is not impossible that in a future/upcoming Venom movie, Spider-Man will play a significant role,” co-writer Jeff Pinker tells IGN.
“I think it’s fair to say that everyone involved would be very excited by a Spider-Man/Venom movie.”
After a $850M global take, a sequel is inevitable. Even though it’s yet to be announced by the studio, Pinker confirms a follow-up is in the works, although he won’t be involved.
“I can’t say anything other than that it is happening. I am not [working on it]. As of right now, I am not…
Sony recently dated two forthcoming Marvel movies, one of which would land on October 2, 2020. This would be the perfect landing spot for the Venom sequel that all but will introduce Woody Harrelson‘s Carnage. While we’re unsure if Ruben Fleischer will return to direct, Tom Hardy will reprise the role of Eddie Brock barring some shocking change in plans.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
