this list we’re taking a look at
storylines characters and other elements
that should be incorporated into the
next venom movie number 10 improved
action sequences from a production
standpoint the visual effects team did
an impressive job bringing the titular
antihero to life you’d think this would
pave the way for several fun action
sequences but venom really only has one
set piece that stands out the motorcycle
chase is fast paced well choreographed
and makes effective use of Venom’s
powers everything else meanwhile feels
like it came off a CGI assembly line
Venom’s climactic battle against riot is
especially disappointing as we can
barely tell them apart then again the
action in Sam Raimi’s first spider-man
movie could get hokey at times too but
the filmmakers took a huge step forward
in the sequel here’s hoping venom 2 does
number nine hints of what’s to come
if you’re gonna stay you will only hurt
bad people in addition to venom Sony
reportedly has the rights to about 900
Marvel characters so naturally the
company is aiming to get their own
shared universe off the ground with
venom acting as a launching point yet
outside of a post credit scene venom
didn’t really tease upcoming projects
sony has announced plans for standalone
movies centered on black cat silk
jackpot Kraven the hunter and Morbius
the living vampire a few subtle Easter
eggs hinting at what’s to come would be
more than welcome in the venom sequel of
course we wouldn’t want Sony to go
overboard like they did an amazing
spider-man 2 which teased a sinister six
movie that never got made how many men
did you have in mind I want to keep it
small number eight a balanced tone is
that a threat with a critical rating of
30% and an audience rating of 88 venom
is one of the most polarizing superhero
movies of recent memory
this can largely be attributed to the
film’s tone which some people complained
rely too heavily on comedy granted the
MCU movies all maintain a playful sense
of humor even when things take a serious
turn
venom however feels like it’s trying to
be an edgier alternative to the MCU it
can understandably be off-putting when
the film shifts from being dark and
gritty to essentially being a romantic
since Ruben Fleischer previously made
Zombieland we feel he can find a
stronger balance of comedy drama and
number 7 stick to the comics due to the
absence of a certain webslinger venom
and Eddie’s backstories in the movie
don’t follow the comics to a perfect
teeth considering the limitations the
filmmakers had to work with though they
still made a respectable effort to
remain faithful to the source material
they even borrowed from a few popular
story arcs most notably lethal protector
and Planet of the symbiotes as for which
comic storylines we’d like to see
adapted in the future the enemy within
not only has the potential to be a great
venom movie
but also a fun crossover event based on
the first films mid-credits scene
however it’s safe to assume which story
arc they’ll tackle next number six more
she venom are you gonna behave yourself
tomorrow
although the character easily could have
been nothing more than an archetypal
love interest and weighing evolves into
an active heroine with Michelle Williams
giving an overall strong performance at
one point and even comes into contact
with the symbiote leading to a pretty
cool minute or so where we finally get
to see she venom in action you have no
idea how much you’re scaring me right
now that being said she venom is only on
screen for a minute or so we know the
movies called venom but couldn’t the
filmmakers have dedicated a little more
time to the titular characters female
equivalent ruben fleischer has expressed
interest in exploring she venom further
in a sequel or standalone film which
we’d totally be on board for I never
actually only ever had one girl come up
to me and say like she venom man that is
so cool
number five stronger character
motivations we had to learn how to hide
venom has a multi-layered character arc
in the comics it could have been spread
over multiple movies instead the film
condenses much of his growth into one
hundred and twelve minutes over just a
few days he goes from being an average
alien with little regard for human life
to an antihero who wants to save the
earth since this change is so rushed
Venom’s motivations feel muddled and
could be better fleshed out in the
sequel for that matter we never really
understand why venom becomes so attached
to eddie granted venom briefly explains
that he relates to eddie because they’re
both losers but in what universe with
the awesome venom and the amazing tom
number four a rift between Eddie and
venom do we have a deal the dynamic
between Eddie and venom was certainly a
highlight of the film with Tom Hardy
delivering an over-the-top dual
performance their relationship should
remain the focus in the sequel although
it would be a lot more interesting if
the two weren’t so in sync venom is
easily persuaded by Eddie to only hurt
bad people and Eddie doesn’t seem at all
fazed when venom straight up murders
robbers or henchmen what if venom took
things too far and turned on Eddie
creating a Jekyll and Hyde scenario this
would also play into the addiction
aspect of the symbiote suit as Eddie
tries to battle his inner demons but
constantly succumbs to the power venom
offers
number three woody harrelson s carnage
you want to feel how hard I can punch
venom gave us a taste of what to expect
in the sequel with a surprise appearance
from Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady a
psychopathic serial killer
Cassidy makes it clear that carnage
looms on the horizon his screen time
might be short but Harrelson has a ball
with his cameo and we can’t wait to see
more of him
if Cassidy is indeed the sequel’s
villain there’s a little doubt that the
film will draw inspiration from the
maximum carnage storyline this comic
sees venom team-up with an assortment of
characters Sony actually has the rights
to such as black cat and Morbius there
may be one notable omission though
number two
spider-man unlike being bad
it makes me happy spider-man 3 sadly may
go down as the only live-action film
where Spidey and venom interact an
agreement with Marvel allowed spider-man
into the MCU but his role in Sony’s
universe remains uncertain since Spidey
has such strong ties to venom and
several other characters Sony as the
rights to it’ll be a missed opportunity
if he never shows up at the very least
venom 2 could give us an easter egg
hinting that spider-man might just might
appear down the line it’s actually been
rumoured that venom was rated pg-13 to
leave the door open for a spider-man
crossover suggesting this tangled web
could be unraveled someday never woman
it was speculated for the longest time
that venom would be rated R much to the
disappointment of some fans the film’s
violence and profanity were tame enough
to warrant a pg-13 rating WatchMojo made
an entire video explaining why the venom
sequel needs an R rating if you want a
more in-depth analysis in a nutshell we
want to see a darker unchained version
of venom who does more than just bite
off a couple of people’s heads
we understand that Sony may want to take
the pg-13 route so spider-man can
eventually swing in however if Deadpool
can coexist with the pg-13 x-men films
why can’t venom to be rated R no I am
NOT x-men material at all do you agree
