Like it or not, Sony's Venom movie is happening. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that it won't take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that's left a lot of fans very confused. 

This new report from Omega Underground is unlikely to help matters as the site claims that principle photography is going to take place in Atlanta and New York City from September 1st. The former is where Marvel shoots the vast majority of their movies, while the latter is, of course, a location which is synonymous with Eddie Brock's classic comic book origin story and his many battles with Spider-Man.

Whether this means Venom will follow the source material or make reference to Spider-Man remains to be seen, but that's certainly the hope among fans. We're obviously going to have to wait and see!

Venom was written by Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg and is being directed by Zombieland helmer Ruben Fletcher. Tom Hardy is playing Eddie Brock and it's coming on October 5th, 2018.

To stay true to his comic book origins Spidey's needs to be in this imo. Doesn't have to have a major role but he needs to feature.

Put Jamie Bell in the role of an older Peter Parker/Spider-Man and have it set several years of Marvel/Sony Spider-Man trilogy.

@MrMurdock - I think James Marsden would play a great slightly older Peter, too.

@CaptDeadpool - Marsden definitely could, the guy didn't get his due playing Cyclops. Peter Parker, Supes and Hal Jordan are all roles I could see him in.

I'm sorry but I can't support this shlock. It's so stupid. Venom comes from Spidey and Peter. Without Spiderman, you might as well just have an original character that users a symbiote based suit. Even if this looks good I do not want to pay money to invest in this garbage.

@Antoin - Have they confirmed it will be an origin? Because if not, why can't it take place years after the origin and Eddie is living in a rotten motel. Can't we just assume there was a run in with spider-man just like we assume there was an uncle ben in the MCU?

@Highflyer - Possibly. But it's Venom, I don't want to see that I want to see the real Venom.

@Antoin - I personally think they're still gonna have Spidey. They confirmed it's not in the MCU, but they never said Spider-Man won't be in it. Just like how they're doing an animated movie, too, this would exist in its own universe. It definitely wouldn't be Holland's Spidey though.
