Venom is the most popular villan/hero in marvel. They need to make this, with Venom you get Carnage and that is enough to make a movie off of. It would be better than the last spiderman movie.

(sorry i'm not going to duplicate your simplistic terms). just making a comment like that indicates that you have NO idea how fanatically popular venom is as both an antihero and spidermans #1 enemy. and just a quick glance at the comic book sales records indicates that ACTUALLY when venom and spiderman team up, such as seperation anxiety and max carnage, sells just as well or BETTER than when they're fighting. little kids, little kids..... do your homework please. if all else fails, make the venom movie an adult movie as most of the hardcore venom fanboys are old enough to be fathers nowadays, and this new generation of comic book kiddies are into some of the most ridiculous and poorly written comics i've seen. please do make a movie about venom, get some talent, and bring back the old venom (not the emo version we saw in spiderman 3) ok, the entire idea of venom would do best as a standalone. personally i know myself and alot of people that grew up way before the kiddies posting here viewed venom as spidermans #1 foe. and he also has some heroic aspects to his character. for those of you that say venom isn’t a solid character for a movie, keep in mind that marvel has developed almost as much history and story based around the symbiotes (of which venom was the first known in comics) as they have for spiderman. given some good screenplay, special effects, and a solid cast, i think the film idea could pan out into one really good movie. as circumstancial proof that people want this to happen, go read the reviews on spiderman 3. half decent movie but MOST negative reviews focussed on the fact that they completely messed up the venom character. almost no screen time, poor casting choice, and really horrible scripts destroyed that character.

If you don't want a Venom movie, don't watch it. We Venom fans deserve a reward for tolerating Venom's 15 minutes of fame in Spider-Man 3. GO FOR THE VENOM MOVIE. ALMOST ALL OF THE MARKETING FOR SPIDER-MAN 3 WAS VENOM BASED, PROOF? http://youtube.com/watch?v=idPpiH7rBIs&feature=related THIS IS PROOF THAT THEY MARKETED VENOM FOR PROFIT.

How does an evil symbiote equal out to an Emo Peter Parker? Electra's death added character to the Daredevil comics... which began to suck after they stupidly brought Electra back for her own series...they never killed Venom off in the comics. Spidey was never a killer. I could keep going. Any true Venom fan should have screamed when Toffer said quote "I like being evil." WE! WE like being evil. for the spin off get better writers and an actor whos a true venom fan. In all honesty Sm3 did suck. How does an evil symbiote equal out to an Emo Peter Parker?

As long as Sam Raimi doesn't direct it. Get Goyer to do it. Personally i wish they would have confirmed with Grace about playing in a spin-off before they choose him. I thought he did Venom well, but i hate seeing new people playing marvel characters. I like to maintain the illusion. He shouldn't have gotten the part to begin with if he wasn't gonna pull through with it to the end. Also Venom isn't dead. No more to be said. I’d love to see a Venom movie.
