Given The Venom series, Morbius, Kraven and now this, Nintendo should really reconsider picking Sony to do the Zelda movie. Venom made a ton of money, at least. Morbius, uhhh, totally shit the bed, yeah. Venom was at least a well-known character anyway. So I can see why a Venom movie was made. He's up there with Goblin and Doc Ock as Spidey's top three villains. I can't imagine any call for a Morbius or Kraven movie though lol

Venom may have made money but the consensus by fans and critics was that it was bad and that Sony were banking on his popularity in with fans to watch it. The second movie only made just over half of what the first one made.
This along with Kraven look to highly flop as well.
Gonna defend Venom. The audience Rotten Tomatoes scores for the 2 movies are 80% and 84%. People liked the Venom movies.

I still haven't seen the second one, but I thought the first Venom movie was much better than critics gave it credit for.

I think people are wising up to the idea that Sony's "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach when it comes to these Spider-Man-less movies about tertiary characters is a disaster. The only one I think that has a chance to do well is Silk. If only because she's a popular character lately. And an actual hero.

Fell asleep watching that trailer, dreaming I was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died

Okay...I need clarification because I probably misunderstood something.
She can see/sense the future to a degree, such as when necessary to do something cool in an action scene, but the bad guy also has future sense/vision so it's a battle of them anticipating themselves?
Or did I just completely make that up?

Look, I'm on a wikipedia page trying to find another Spider character for them to make a movie about that isn't Jackpot, but my heart just isn't in it. It's always going to be Jackpot, dammit. Just make a Jackpot movie, Sony.

Spider-Man villain Tarantula dates back to 70’s
Spider themed villain that wears a mask durag thing like Westly in Princess Bride.
Probably a matter of time before he get’s his own movie.

Why does this feel like a scab production? Like I know it's not but just everything about it feels dirty.

Since I saw the trailer last week, I've listened to "Bury A Friend" by Billie Eilish about half a dozen times, so there's my one good thing to say about this trailer.
Trailer gives me strong Dimension Films vibes, and I'm not sure if I mean that as a compliment or an insult. What I do know is that "researching spiders right before she died" line was one of the worst line readings I've seen in a trailer and it is absolutely going to make it into the final product.

It sounds so bad it's like they've cut together parts of three unrelated lines. If that had been in a Tommy Wiseau movie I'd get it.

Just make a Jackpot movie, Sony. The Spot was always my go-to for a character I loved but was far to weird and obscure to get a movie about them. ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE exists now and it's amazing, so I'm at a loss for another weird obscure character for a movie...maybe White Rabbit?

They can do a whole Legion of Losers movie. Or the Hateful Hexad!

A J Jonah Jameson origin story could work. You could even have the real reason he hates Spider-Man (he's secretly jealous of him).

Sony can't use Spider-Man independent of the MCU, right? The only immediate logic to this Sony universe building is if they're prepping the landing pad for when they can do their own Peter Parker again and that's a ways off considering Disney have the Spider-Man character on tap for a couple more movies.
