Venom: Can the movie really work without the MCU?

sivertime — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 15:58:59 +0000

No, Venom will not be part of the MCU, it’s official. But can the film and its main character really work outside the film universe of Marvel?
Who says Venom says Spider-Man, right? Or at least, that is what one tends to think, one not going a priori without the other. Except that it is underestimating a little the ambitions of the studios, who see Spidey’s opponent a character powerful enough to carry his film alone. For while the hesitation was still of course not so long ago, Sony swept away in a sudden any possibility to see the Eddie Brock of Tom Hardy trim the tip of fat with the Peter Parker of Tom Holland. No, the Spider-Man spin-off on Venom will not be part of the MCU and the film, which will be directed by Ruben Fleischer, will remain completely independent. So no Spidey in red and blue, no Avengers nor even less attack of Chitauri or angry robots in the world of Venom. Good, very good. Except that it poses nevertheless a small problem, if one takes into account the very history of Eddie Brock. So, a movie on Venom that would be outside the MCU, can it really work?
Because it is necessary to admit one thing, the transformation of Eddie Brock in Venom is intimately related to Spider-Man, and in particular to his costume bearing the famous symbiote. In other words, the original story can not do without Spidey, which is well integrated into the MCU! And that, we did not need Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 to realize it. So does that mean that Spidey will exist in the universe of the movie Venom but that it will simply be mentioned? Even if the Avengers were present at his side? Unless the studios plan to offer it a whole new origin, which will not depend on the Weaver . After all, The villain of Venom will not be Spider-Man but Carnage , or another symbiote that depends on the very existence of Eddie Brock and his black costume. But in this case, it is the fans of the enemies of Peter Parker who risk raising a skeptical eyebrow (even worse). In short, a movie on Venom that fits totally out of the MCU seems at first glance to be a pretty bad idea, especially if the studios do not have a coherent overview. As Venom will not be the only character in Spider-Man’s universe to be entitled to his own feature film since Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, will also benefit from the same treatment in the years to come. It is the fans of the enemies of Peter Parker who risk raising a skeptical eyebrow (even worse).

As Venom will not be the only character in Spider-Man’s universe to be entitled to his own feature film since Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, will also benefit from the same treatment in the years to come.
However, everything is not all black and there is still way for Venom – and the other spin-offs of Spider-Man – to work without the MCU . After all, an Eddie Brock embodied by Tom Hardy could be fascinating enough to follow his adventures without regretting the absence of Spidey and the rest of the Avengers. If the studios take the right angle to tell their duel against Carnage while finding a way to explain their existence without causing it to arise from the presence of Peter Parker, it may be that the film can stand up on its own. After all, we do not necessarily need the whole superhero team to tell the story of a super villain , even if this one comes from the Marvel stable.
Especially, Eddie Brock, like Silver Sable and Black Cat, is not a villain 100% villain, which leaves perhaps more room to explore his character without being confined to the role of super-villain . And if the studios take the time to establish a real coherence between the different films from the Spider-Man universe, then yes, the presence of the latter and of all the clique of the protagonists of the MCU will no longer be necessary. After all, does the publishing house Marvel not create a universe centered solely on Venom? So just keep your fingers crossed so that the film does not crash! What do you think ?

Venom: Is Spider-Man Spin-Off with Tom Hardy part of the MCU?

sivertime — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 18:12:42 +0000

This is an interesting question! Will Tom Hardy’s Venom be integrated into the MCU, or will it remain completely independent? Kevin Feige gives us some clarification.
The announcement made some noise and must have surprised quite a few of you. Yes, an evil emblem of the Spider-Man universe will be entitled to his own film. And the editing of melty obviously speaks of Venom, which will therefore take the features of Tom Hardy . And that, for a surprise, is a real surprise! But well, of course, knowing the character and its links with the Weaver, we came to ask immediately this question: Will Tom Hardy’s Venom be part or not of the MCU? The questioning is legitimate. After all, has Spidey not returned to Marvel’s fold, even though the rights of adaptation are shared between the studios of the House of Ideas and Sony? Why should not this be the case for his opponent in black costume? It is already known, Thanks to Jon Watts, that the film on Venom should not be connected to Spider-Man: Homecoming , of which he is the director. Which does not surprise us. But what about the rest of the MCU?
Well, melty can warn you right away, if you were among those who hoped to see Venom evolving in the same universe as the Avengers, you might be disappointed. Because no, unfortunately, the film with Tom Hardy and directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) will not be part of the MCU . Kevin Feige, the boss of the Marvel studios, confirmed the news himself during a live facebook with our colleagues of Allociné. He said, ” For now, we do not have a plan for Venom in the MCU. It’s a project by Sony .” There you go ! Marvel therefore does not intend to put his little grain of salt in the adaptation around the character of Eddie Brock. At least for now. For not so long ago, We could not imagine that Spidey could one day join his friends, the Avengers. And yet, that is what is happening. So who knows what the future holds for us? Meanwhile, fans of the super-villain will have enough to feast with the venomverse, the universe devoted to the symbiote that their concubine Marvel . Proof that the popularity of Venom does not weaken! Are you disappointed by this news?

Justice League, Star Wars The Last Jedi, The Labyrinth 3 The Deadly Remedy … The Top Movie of the Month!

sivertime — Mon, 29 May 2017 18:55:48 +0000

The month of May was generous in news and casting announcements! Between Venom, Uncharted, Justice League or even the next Star Wars, the fans were filled …
December 13, 2017 will release the next adventures of Rey and all his band. Suffice to say that fans of the Star Wars saga are eager to discover this film that promises to further expand the mythology . Fortunately, Lucas Films has broadcast several photos and infos allowing the aficionados to wait a little bit. There are several characters introduced to The Reveil of the Force as the most emblematic in the image of Leia, Anakin Skywalker and so on. But the real surprise of these pictures of Star Wars The Last Jedi (whose first words of Luke Skywalker were unveiled) is the presence of Benicio Del Toro, who will play DJ, and Laura Dern who will camp Vice Admiral Holdo, member of the Resistance . The photos are to be discovered below!
It is a tragic news that shook this month of May: the daughter of Zack Snyder died. The director of 300, Watchmen and Batman vs. Superman had to bequeath the rest of Justice League production to Joss Whedon time to mourn. The filmmaker behind the two previous films Avengers will take care of the reshoot and complete the post-production of the film. A way for the man to definitely switch to the DC Comics side and prove himself before starting the Batgirl adaptation . A film that should make it possible to put in place a solid DCU in the manner of the MCU which is experiencing a growing success over the years.
The third chapter of the Labyrinth entitled Le Remède Mortel is unveiled to its many fans. Dylan O’Brien, star of the film, has given many confidences about the latter. In a short video, the actor said “It’s an undercover film, a rescue mission. It’s the first time that the spectators go to see the team, which has always been together, to separate ” . A radical change of tone! Kaya Scodelario, currently starring Pirates of the Caribbean 5 (which could continue without Johnny Depp) told Screen Rant “We have just finished filming. I think we say goodbye to the characters and conclude all the stories. The film tells of a rescue mission. They want to find Minho. They enter WCKD and they try to understand the decision Teresa made in the last film. To understand that she did not betray them ” .
The month of May will have offered two announcements of castings rather surprising . The first one concerns Tom Holland, star of Spider-Man Homecoming . The latter will play young Nathan Drake in the film adaptation of the triple A franchise titled Uncharted. A saga that has made the happiness of millions of gamers! The second announcement comes closer to Spider-Man since Tom Hardy will play the cinema … Venom . The famous Nemesis of the Weaver will be entitled to a spin-off that the fans expect as much as they do not fear … It remains to know which director will take care of this project which could prove interesting for the fans of comics.
Here is a part of the cinematographic news that will have made the month of May on melty. News that will please some and cringe others teeth! Do not hesitate to give us in the comments the information that you retained and which made you react .

To incarnate a super hero or naughty, the costume is not enough

sivertime — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 17:34:49 +0000

With the multiplication of the adaptations of comics in film, it is necessary to analyze the performances of the actors. And some have planted well.
The habit does not make the monk, as they say. Accountability is shared with producers. They chose them, so the actors do what they are asked and what they can do. In any case, the cast proved to be a failure and the performances did not mark the spirits. Not in the right way anyway.
Nicolas Cage in Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider
Nico was also mocked for his sometimes chelous roles, his ridiculous haircuts, his ability to do shit to pick up thunes, and also the fans of Ghost Rider. At the base scary character, it became rather funny and pathetic thanks to the actor . Finally, because of it, suddenly! A memorable performance, but not in the good sense of the word.
Jennifer Garner in Elektra
Level rage and strength, we saw better. And we could have hoped better, especially. Although she is physically fit, sharp, the actress did not meet expectations. Afterwards, there are those who plainly wanted a woman with features and a Greek appearance. Now, Jennifer Garner has no Greek origin, so good, here. Another detail that stings: the producers made a little finger to the fans by taking it back in the spin-off Elektra (2005), after his first role in Daredevil (2003).
Topher Grace in Eddie Brock / Venom
A guy at the top of the class, all cute, a gringalet. So he must incarnate Venom, perhaps the biggest enemy of Spiderman, his evil double, his black side. We would have seen a guy more violent, more flippant, more impressive . Kind with a square head and a neck of beef. Pity.
Halle Berry en Patience Phillips / Catwoman
It could have sticking. But no. The producers did not really respect the origins of the character already, and the actress did not really incarnate Catwoman. Apart from its suppleness and its beauty, question character, it was not folichon . A mixed record for Halle Berry, and this is not the first time to tell the truth.
Jesse Eisenberg in Lex Luthor
Nothing but the look did not fit at all, but then not at all. When you see the guy class, manly, mysterious, and bald comic, you imagine finding the same in the film . At last you hope! But here, a young, thin, long-haired, with a childish way of talking that brings him closer to a teenager, it shocks. So, ok, we catch Lex Luthor / Jesse Eisenberg bald, in his cell at the end, after waiting for the whole movie …
Keanu Reeves in Constantine
The producers had to say to themselves: “Ah vaaaaaa, the comic goes back to 20 pins, we do what we want, it passes .” Except that fans have memory, and that they like consistency. Respect their favorite characters. Seeing Constantine switch from platinum blonde sting to brown / black is already a bit con. Then see him change character, personality, seductive guy, smiling to the solitary, embittered, cold, even more. In terms of recipe, the film did what it needed. As for the kiff for fans, less. Other examples of disappointments in mind?
