MORBIUS Director Daniel Espinosa Seemingly Confirms Plans For A Venom Cameo In The Movie

It's looking like Sony Pictures has something planned for the "SPUMC," but has Morbius director Daniel Espinosa just confirmed that Tom Hardy's Venom will make an appearance? Read on for further details...

Sony Pictures has hit the "Pause" button on Morbius' marketing campaign, which is no great surprise when the movie has been pushed into 2022. That first trailer is still playing in the minds of many fans, though, especially as it featured a cameo from Spider-Man: Homecoming villain Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton).

That either means the movie is supposed to be set in the MCU or a world very much like it, though Tobey Maguire's wall-crawler being depicted in graffiti has only served to further confuse matters.

One thing we can be sure of, though, is that Morbius more than likely takes place in the same world as Venom. Now, during a translated interview with MovieZine, director Daniel Espinosa talked about what it was like to step on to the set of his first Marvel movie, and it was then he appeared to drop a bombshell.

"It usually feels strange before the day begins, when you look at the schedule and stand on the set yourself," the filmmaker said. "When you walk around there, the recording looks just like a Swedish production, but then when you look at the schedule and read names like Michael Keaton, Jared Leto, Tom Hardy, then it feels cool and very exciting."

It's worth noting that Espinosa worked with Hardy on Child 44, but it's strange that he'd name two actors from Morbius and then randomly pick the guy who just so happens to play Venom! 

Comments like these can be read out of context, though, so we're definitely not getting ahead of ourselves yet. It would certainly make sense for Eddie Brock and/or Venom or appear in some form, but it's hard to say what that would be setting up (unless Sony has some sort of Sinister Six team-up planned). 

We'll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more!

I wonder if Joker had its success first if Venom would have been a different movie? Like it would have been about the origin of a villain.

@Knightrider - I doubt it. No one seems to be actually trying to copy the success of joker, outside of r rated superhero movies (and the joker sequel of course).

Can The symbiote from Sputnik join the team instead? It was a better Venom than Venom

Venom is definitely in this.

But nobody will ever be able to confirm it because no one is going to see a film about Morbius.

Is there anyone actually interested in seeing this movie?

@ForceofWakanda - no

@ForceofWakanda - Really if it werent for the fact that it was Venom who got a movie first, doubt anyone would be interested in any of these spidermanless spiderman spin off

@ForceofWakanda - They got me with the Vulture tease, I have to see how (if at all) this connects

@ForceofWakanda - I liked Venom and the trailer looked fun-ish so I want to watch it, but I'm not desperate to do so.

I still think Venom looks like Flubber, hopefully the CGI improves in the sequel.
Also Raimi’s symbiote looked more like a symbiote.
MrDandy
MrDandy - 8/9/2021, 1:22 PM
@MisterDoctor217 - I like how the head forms (like the comics) and the character design in Venom films, but Raimi’s symbiote looked more alien and realistic and at least his Venom had powers and backstory that we’re somewhat true to the comics (as terrible as Topher Grace was)
DiegoMD
DiegoMD - 8/9/2021, 3:36 PM
@MrDandy - I love how you call alien goo realistic. And given the fact that it is goo, shouldn't it look gooey? I understand the Flubber comparison, but I ain't mad at it.
MisterDoctor217

@MrDandy -
Yes the transformation is cool but the symbiote looks like goo instead of alien.
And yes I agree with everything you said, despite the design in that movie, Raimi’s Venom was more true to the comics, or well his comic origin.

People should leave DCEU alone. At least it isn’t the SPUMC

@MrDandy -
Or SPUME as I like to call it

@Goldboink - Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Excrement?

MUTO123 - 8/9/2021, 1:46 PM
@MrDandy - I'm willing to bet money that by the time that both franchises end, the DCEU will have FAR more good movies than the SPUMC (seriously, who the [frick] thought that title was a good idea?)
dracula
dracula - 8/9/2021, 2:07 PM
@MrDandy - Well to be fare so fare SPUMC only has one movie out

@MrDandy -

I was thinking more along the lines of the close cousin of Santorum. Google it.

I seen somewhere concept art of Holland's SM and Hardy's Venom going at it. If it was official or not I have no idea.

Well, I wasn’t planning on giving them my money before, but now... I’m still not.

I'm very curious as to what Sony's plans are for these villains. Even when they get SM back, will they be able to deliver a good SM franchise incorporating these villains?? History says No.

Two actors who've spent the last few years being given carte blanche by directors to be as obnoxious and annoying as humanly possible on film teaming up?

Great.......
