Sony has taken its first step in its new Spider-Man related films with Venom (2017, Ruben Fleischer). Which has been moderately successful so far. Because of this, I thought I would go over the other the state of the Spider-Man films that Sony has both ready for release and in production. Including Venom , the studio has Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018, Phil Lord & Chris Miller) coming out this December, Solo movies for Black Cat and Silver Sable and a solo movie for Morbius: The Living Vampire. All characters featured in the Spider-Man comics.  Venom Venom has taken a serious hit from critics. with a 31% approval rating from critics. Normally, this would be enough to kill a film. But, surprisingly, Venom has had quite a successful run at the Box Office, grossing just over $380 million worldwide by its 2nd weekend. Venom also is boasting a strong 88% approval rating from audiences. Giving Sony good cause to greenlight a sequel. Although, it's unclear as to wh

Yesterday it was dropped by Variety that James Gunn (Guardians Of The Galaxy, Slither)  has been hired by Warner Bros. and DC to write the script for the upcoming  Suicide Squad 2  and to possibly direct it as well. This is the first project that Gunn has been hired for since he was fired from Guardians Of The Galazxy 3  in July this year after several tweets that the filmmaker wrote around 8 years ago were revealed that caused serious controversy. Initial Thoughts I'm 50/50 on this news.

So this seems like a perfect fit! But from a business standpoint, this might not be the best idea. Given the controversy surrounding him, this may end up being more of a strike than a home run.

Sony begins its new era of Spider-Man related films with their solo movie, Venom (2018, Ruben Fleischer) . Featuring the fan-favourite Spidey Villain/Anti-Hero. With Marvel Studios and Sony sharing custody over Spider-Man (Tom Holland) , allowing him to star in the MCU, Sony is hoping to make a bunch of movies focusing around characters that are part of the Spider-Man brand, and they are hoping that Venom will be there version of Deadpool (2016, Tim Miller) , with an Anti-Hero who plays by his own rules. And with Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) playing the main character you can expect a good performance.     But with Sony's spotty track record when it comes to their Spider-Man property this movie can go either way. Hopefully, this will be more Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) than Mark Webb (500 Days Of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man) . First Thoughts Overall, I think this film is good. It's got good action, acting and humour. It'll definitely pl
