Sony Spider-Verse discussion thread

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Is there anything going on in the Spider-verse movies that makes it different from movies that are not a verse anyway?

Well, they all related in some way to Spider-Man, but perhaps I didn't understand the question.

I think the question is whether there's any continuity linking the movies, e.g. if the events of Venom got mentioned in Morbius or something.

I think 'a lot' are being sarcastic.

As was I.

According to Wikipedia it's a shared universe but yeah at the moment they aren't strongly interconnected.

I was going to say I guess it means no Venom vs Spider-Man, then I remembered Spider-Man doesn't exist in Sony's Cinematic Universe of Spider-Man characters.

A fact that sums up their whole ridiculous enterprise perfectly!

It would be like if they did a series of Joker movies with no Batman.

Batman technically was in Joker.

 

[Set Harth]

But he wasn't Batman yet.

That's actually a very good point. Joker proves that movies like this can have merit if done correctly. Sony just doesn't seem to have a clue.

Sony have moved Venom 3, now "Venom: The Last Dance" up from November to October. Presumably to capitalise on all the goodwill that will be generated by the massive success of Kraven in August.

You might need to add [sarcasm] tags, in case a certain person does not get the joke

But seriously... i think they moved it to 1. Capitalize on Halloween and 2. Give it some space from the November releases around Thanksgivng. They might be able to squeeze a pretty good 3-4 weeks of theater time out of it. (including a Veteran's day week)

I wonder if that's meant to be a pun on X-Men: The Last Stand, the third movie of that series.

And the 1960 song "Save the Last Dance for Me," and probably a number of other songs and references going back ages, since every ball has to have a last dance. The question is not where the title came from, but what makes the title relevant to a Venom movie. I suppose the story could be about the end of Eddie and Venom's partnership, since it's common for movies to do things in trilogies, but the form of the title also suggests a parallel with the third X-Men movie.

Sony doesn't even understand the properties they license. I doubt they would understand what makes a rival work (and Last Stand was one of the least regarded X-men movies, so they'd be even more foolish to choose that over other stuff).

It's a pretty common euphemism for the end of something, I'd have thought.

I would agree -- so perhaps Tom Hardy is out after this movie. Or depending on its success. SO they end such that Tom Hardy can bail if it fails, but can continue if it somehow does better than previous Venoms. But if he is leaving -- they would be smart not to advertise that, so people won't bail on it like they did FLash & Aquaman 2 .

It's obviously a reference to the third and final Indiana Jones movie, The Last Crusade. Case closed.

I think a lot of you all are stretching more than Reed Richards trying to make a connection.

I think just the one person is one trying to give an explanation that seems clearly wrong..

Have there been references to other non-Sony or even Sony, Marvel movies in the other Venoms? I never saw the second one, but I don't remember anything like that with the first. If not this seems like a pretty massive leap with no evidence whatsoever.

Uh, Venom actually "jumped" in the MCU and left a piece of the symbiote there before jumping back home.

Wow, relax. I'm not insisting it must be true, I'm just idly wondering if it's possible. Suggesting a possibility is not advocacy, it's just making conversation.

 

[Tosk]

Wow, relax.

He's not exactly ranting or raving. He seems fairly relaxed to me.

 

[Christopher]

I didn't say he was. I'm just saying I wasn't trying to argue that it was true, merely idly musing if it was possible.

 

[Relayer1]

Didn't Morbius shout "I'm Venom !" at one point when he was trying to scare someone ?

 

[Tosk]

I didn't say he was.

Woah, calm down.

 

[M'rk son of Mogh]

Didn't Morbius shout "I'm Venom !" at one point when he was trying to scare someone ?

Nobody watched the movie to verify.

 

[Set Harth]

yeah, i didn't hear about the Vulture thing until today.
