Hey movie marauders! Sony (who owns Spider-Man's universe) has announced that an R rated Venom movie will be coming out October 5, 2018. Venom/Eddie Brock is going to be played by Tom Hardy (which is the only casting we know). This film is going to be directed by Ruben Fleischer(who directed Zombieland). This announcement came out of nowhere, and has fans wondering if it will relate to Tom Holland's Spider-Man movie (Spider-Man:Homcoming-July 7, 2017). Let's discuss:

President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has said that Venom will not be a part of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Tom Holland (Spider-Man/Peter Parker) and Director of Spider-Man: Homecoming Jon Watts said that these movies are not connected. Sony Producer Amy Pascal said that these movies are in the same universe and are part of a world they are creating for Peter Parker. I am very confused!!! An explanation that I would say is that Sony is creating these Spider-Man related movies so they are able to have Tom Holland play a part in Sony's universe (eventually). Although there is no confirmation of Venom relating to the MCU.

Tom Holland has confirmed that Spider-Man: Homecoming will be a trilogy. Other than Avengers Infinity War, no other movies have been confirmed featuring Spider-Man. Sony is expanding their own Spider-Man Universe not just with Venom. A movie featuring Black Cat and Silver Sable has been announced (with no casting), and will be directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. Confused on who Venom, Black Cat, and Silver Sable are? Read below:

Silver Sable, Black Cat, Venom

Silver Sable is a mercenary and she hunts terrorists from Symkaria. Her real name is Silver Sablinova, and her relationship with Peter Parker consists of flirting. Black Cat also flirts with Peter(she can also be his enemy), and is similar to Catwoman (she is not as evil as her though). Her real name is Felicia Hardy (she was shortly played by Felicity Jones in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 w/ Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man).

Venom (who we have seen in Spider-Man 3 with Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man) is Eddie Brock who became one with an alien (symbiote) that made him have powers like Spider-Man (since Spider-Man had the alien attached to him first-which didn't turn out so well) and made him a little crazy. Venom is one of Spider-Man's bigger/well-known enemies.
