    I'll give this a watch. Tom's a top bloke (I've spoken to him in person because he lives not far from me) so I'll happily support his work.

    Yeah, I'm guessing the actors are going to carry this. Although I hope the rest is good

    I'm a huge fan of Woody Harrelson also, plus Naomie Harris' involvement is an added bonus.

    I think they'll do a good job. I hope the fight scenes are good too.

    As for the story, it was a bit weak in the first movie. With Carnage being a serial killer, maybe that will change.

    There are more symbiotes to play with but I would love to see something different. I could see Maximum Carnage being a possible route if they keep Carnage around.

    With Shriek supposedly in this, they have Carrion, Deathlok, Doppleganger, Demogoblin, Morbius, Cloak & Dagger, Firestar, Black Cat, Nightwatch they could all play with. Don't even really need Peter but that could be fun ...

    Still feels like a throwback 90s movies.

    Aren't Cloak, Dagger and Deathlok with Marvel Studios?

    Yeah, the story could've been better. Then again, it is Sony; their handling of their properties is almost as bad as Warner Brothers.

    Cloak & Dagger yes. Not sure on Deathlok.

    They could always workout a trade for more Spidey-time in the MCU.

    There are other comparable Spidey Family characters they could use to swap out those 3, IMHO.

    Ben Reilly, Kaine, Spidercide, Silvermane, the list goes on. I think some permutation of Maximum Carnage could be done and perhaps having it Vemon-centric with no Spider-Man might make the story better.

    It has been confirmed in an interview with Woody, Tom, and the director that the characters in Venom 2 DON'T know who Spider-Man is. It read as that Spidey does not exist (yet?) in this universe of films but that there is leeway.

    I didn't think the first was great, just ok, and I don't really get the idea of Venom without Spider-Man anyway. Plus, every Sony Spider-Man live action movie after SM2 hasn't been that great. So I'm not jumping for joy about this either, but, ideally I want it to be good and to succeed

    I guess so, since those two aren't doing anything right now. But idk if I trust Sony to do them right.

    As for Tom, I think they're leaving this all open-ended in case they want to integrate this into the MCU

    Well, this looks like it'll be fun, count me in!

    Which 90s movies? I know it's a decade that gets a lot of flack for going "dark and gritty" in the comics, and "hip and edgy" elsewhere, but I can't think of any of them that looks like this. The special effects alone would've been completely undoable back then.

    Which is my greatest complaint.

    It all looks so....ordinary.

    But heck, if people enjoy it then more power to them. It doesn’t look like something I’ll enjoy. I think the symbiotes play better off a superhero than themselves. This movie’s battles are likely going to be almost identical to the first movie.

    I can see that - both mostly mishandle their properties and deliver some mediocre films and outright clunkers - while somehow also inexplicably managing to once in a blue moon deliver some of the best and most defining genre movies of their eras. The studio that gave us Catwoman and Steel and Snyder's films also gave us The Dark Knight trilogy and Wonder Woman and Joker. The studio that gave us Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man duology also gave us Spider-Man 2 and Into The Spider-Verse. How can studios who so badly handle their various superhero titles on average manage to deliver some of the best stuff once in a blue moon? Here's hoping this turns out more like a Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Verse and less like some of their other films...

    Looks fun, if nothing else. Hope it's more consistent then the first one was.

    There's a version of Deathlok in Agents of Shield.
