There has to be a different threat for Venom to battle in Venom 3 besides another symbiote. The idea is just going to have been done to death by that point. They could adapt the whole King in Black thing for Venom 3 (though, without any of the Marvel heroes). I'm not familiar with this story, but after reading about it on Wikipedia, if it means we get a symbiote-possessed Santa Claus, then I am all for this movie.

Will just say what others have said for now:
At least Cletus Cassidy no longer looks like what Ronald McDonald would look like without his clown makeup applied.

So they might be setting up for Toxin in Venom 3 I knew that guy looked a lot like Stephen Graham. Because it was Stephen Graham. Man, Toxin going to be three hours late for fights and then show up in shorts.

I will proudly admit that I had a blast with the first movie, and thought it was a total hoot for all its many, many problems. This one is shaping up to be the same. I’ll be checking it out.

Yeah, the minute I saw Venom singing and cooking breakfast, I was sold. Looks like a ton of fun.

I never got around to see the first one (barely even remembered it existed). So is Venom pretty much just a good guy here?

While I didn’t hate it, I was critical of the first movie, but that’s because it was advertised as wanting to take itself seriously and then it was anything but (that, and I found some of the romantic stuff early on fairly slow and bland). I’m glad to see them embracing the camp and apparently leaning towards a more fun, loose direction here.

So when we finally get the Venom/Spider-Man crossover, do we think they'll go full heel turn for Eddie or will they be heroes with a misunderstanding that bond over the fact that their mothers share the same name?

So when we finally get the Venom/Spider-Man crossover, do we think they'll go full heel turn for Eddie or will they be heroes with a misunderstanding that bond over the fact that their mothers share the same name? I think there will be a major conflict between the two over their differing tactics (such as Venom's propensity for eating the bad guys), they will put that conflict aside to stop a mutual threat, then come to some kind of uneasy agreement to keep their distance. BTW, do we know Eddie's Mom's name? Looking on the internet all I could find was his Dad's, Carl. Having never read a comic book featuring Carl Brock, I'm going to assume he looks like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Edit: Ok, so after some more research I've discovered Eddie's Mom's name was Jamie. But ever more interesting - Eddie's Aunt, his Dad's sister, her name was Martha. Although she might have just been a delusion created by the Venom symbiote. Venom's comic book history is weird.

I remember the advertisement for the DVD around Valentine’s Day was cut to make it seem like the movie was a romcom between Eddie and Venom. And honestly? I’d be hard pressed to say that was a complete lie.

Considering his whole onus of being evil in the first place (Spider-Man) is a non-factor in this film's universe, really no point to have Venom run around being evil. Weird anti-hero works best for this iteration.

All of the humor bits looked like a lot of fun.
Everything with Cletus/Carnage looked like during those scenes I will wish to get back to the fun parts.

I love that we live in a world where Tom Hardy, the sort of actor that dives into a role, is diving into Venom. Like, it can't be said enough how weaker the first film would have been if he didn't.
