How in the hell would that work?

-We get the origin story of how Aunt May acquired her favorite bonnet?
-Somehow she and Ben were also working for SHIELD?
-The Trouble comic from 2003 gets the most inexplicable adaptation of all time?

The whole concept might actually be dumber than the Emoji movie.

Before ASM2, there was an Aunt May flick planned, Sinister Six (which is still on?!?), Silver Sable, Black Cat, blah blah blah..

The one thing about this is I'm morbidly curious who they cast as Carnage. Tom Hardys the only silver lining so far about this project, so if they find a competent actor to work alongside him, at least the acting will be solid.

Sony needs Money badly.

I don't really even care for Carnage as a character, esp when it comes to symbiote v symbiote.

Ghostbusters was one of their in case of emergency sure things.

Until... yeah, on second thought lets not go down that road again.

Wha...?

Dude, the villains don't need their own movies. The very concept is stupid. The only villains in the history of cinema that could work with are Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter. And guess what? Those origin movies sucked. A couple of second-tier Spider-Man villains though? The very idea sucks.

The funny thing is that she no longer the chairman of Sony. She got kick out of that after the Sony email hack pretty much show what a Dixie she was and now she run her own "production" company with the only credit so far being Spider-Man Homecoming and Ghostbusters 2016. Luckily Marvel is in charges so she won't turn Homecoming into another Ghostbusters disaster.

According to the leaked e-mails, Pascal's fondness for an all-superheroine movie started with the "Glass Ceiling" project, which became "Silver & Black", and made it happen with "Ghostbusters: ATC".

Just wanted to add that Ghostbusters was Sony another attempt at a Cinematic Universe after the first spider man one failed. So pretty much, Sony is going to keep trying to created their only cinematic universe even if it mean they go bankruptcy because of it.

Is there any kind of story arc for the character? Does he change or evolve at all?

Outside of Maximum Carnage, I'd have to say my favorite Carnage moment is when he gets punked by Joker.

There has been some confusion, based on past interview comments from the producers of Spider-Man: Homecoming, as to whether Sony Pictures' Spidey spin-off films Venom and Silver & Black (based on Black Cat and Silver Sable) are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the same way as Tom Holland's Spider-Man is. I spoke on the phone today with one of the producers of those spin-off films as well as Homecoming, Amy Pascal, who set the record straight regarding specifically Venom and Silver & Black's place, if any, in the MCU.

"These are standalone movies," Pascal said. Citing 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise as an example, Pascal explained that these Spidey spin-offs exist as Marvel movies in the same way as the X-Men films do but not as facets of the Disney-owned MCU.


Given then that Venom is separate from the MCU, does Pascal see Venom star Tom Hardy as the face or the anchor of this extended, standalone Spidey spin-off universe in a way that doesn't require Sony to use Tom Holland or Spider-Man directly?

Pascal said, "Know what I think? I think it's a way to make a really great movie. That's what I think. I think that Tom Hardy is a brilliant actor and I think anchoring Venom with him is the anchor."

And when it came to the reports that Carnage may be the villain of the Venom movie, Pascal chuckled, "I can't confirm anything! You're used to talking to producers!"

When will they just stop letting her talk about this stuff

Feige did respond pretty much saying "No."
