Not a big Venom fan, but if they do it in a unique way it could be cool.  For example, there was a short lived Venom series where the premise was that the Symbiote was going from place to place controlling people and killing while Eddie Brock was hunting it... not to kill it but to force it to take him back.  I haven't read that series but I like that idea.  At least more than evil slimey Spider-Man.

Will this be a reboot or a straight spin-off of Spider-Man 3?  A reboot would probably interest me a lot more.

Yeah, neither was Sam Raimi.

If he was THIS guy would have played Venom

Brock Lesner should have played Juggernaut!

I've always liked Venom as just a cool monster. I think if they just treat it like an old school monster movie that just happens to be in the world of Spiderman's New York City, it could work.

[Doctor Who?]

All I can say is they had better not have him going out like a wimp again.

Also the movie had better be rated R,or at least a very strong PG13.

Collider MAY 19, 2017:

Tom Hardy to Lead 'Venom' for Director Ruben Fleischer
Well I can't think of a more terrifying actor to play the part.

Tom Hardy has shrugged off his Bane costume for an alien symbiote if the latest reports regarding Sony's planned Venom film are to be believed. You'll remember that Sony is eager to kick off their own shared cinematic universe based on their rights to Spider-Man and 900 some odd characters, dubbed Sony's Marvel Universe. We now have an idea of what the intended R-rated kick-off to this universe will look like thanks to the news that not only will Hardy star in the title role as Eddie Brock, but that Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) will direct.

The news broke via press release with multiple trades reporting that the Oscar-nominated Hardy and Fleischer are in final negotiations for Venom. This comes as good news considering that Sony has set the picture for an October 5, 2018 release date. And though Sony is working hand-in-hand with Marvel Studios to feature the more familiar wall-crawler in Spider-Man: Homecoming this July 7th, Venom is going to launch the studio's own 'verse' that won't be connected to the MCU in any way. Production is expected to start this fall.

Hardy, who will next be seen in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, will undoubtedly fully inhabit the role of Eddie Brock. He's been known to dive deep into such characters as the psychotic Charles Bronson, the charming Eames from Inception, the damaged veteran/fighter Tommy Conlon in Warrior, and the tough-as-nails Forrest Bondurant in Lawless ... and yes, the mumbling terrorist Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Now Hardy makes the shift to the Marvel side of things and will likely enjoy a lot of CG-heavy action on screen as Venom, the counterpart to the relatively mild-mannered Eddie Brock. Plot details remain quiet, however, so it'll be a while before we figure out how this movie is shaping up, and just what Fleischer will bring to the table.

As for the post-Venom pictures in the Sony Marvel Universe, screenwriter Chris Yost (Thor: Ragnarok) will write the script for a pitch on Spider-Man characters Black Cat and Silver Sable, building on a previous version of the script from Lisa Joy (Westworld); Matt Tolmach and Amy Pascal will produce the film previously known as the "secret female spin-off project."

Scott Rosenberg (Jumanji) and Jeff Pinkner (The Dark Tower) are writing the script for Venom, with Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal as producers. Palak Patel and Eric Fineman will oversee the production for Columbia Pictures.
