Sony Developing Agent Venom Movie According To Reports

SSU had a rough time in the last couple of years, as the majority of recent projects flopped at the box office and when it comes to critical reception. ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ turned that trend around with the movie so far being a decent addition to the lineup, and quite the success at the box office especially when you take into account Asian countries.

We know that ‘Spider-Man: Noir’ is currently in development, and the first reactions to set leaks are overwhelmingly positive, and there are a couple more rumored projects in development.

Now Daniel Richtman, a popular industry insider with a solid track record claims that Sony is perhaps expanding on its most popular franchise. The insider claims that the Agent Venom movie is in development.

Agent Venom is a version of Venom where the symbiote bonds with Flash Thompson, Spider-Man’s former bully turned soldier. After losing his legs in military service, Flash is selected by the government to use the symbiote in controlled doses, allowing him to gain superpowers and become a special agent.

He possesses superhuman strength, agility, shapeshifting abilities, and Spider-Man-like powers, but must constantly control the symbiote’s darker instincts. His missions lead him to work with groups like the Secret Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, positioning him as a heroic version of Venom.

As the fan page stated, the movie has a big potential to be R-rated, something that fans missed in the original trilogy.

It makes sense that Sony is attempting to expand of ‘Venom’ series, it is after all the most profitable and successful they had in terms of SSU. Now ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ has seen Venom “dying” and Hardy stated on several occasions that he is done with the role.

There have been rumors that Venom will crossover to the MCU with Knull. Knull is reportedly being set up as the next villain of ‘Spider-Man 4’ and the writer-director Marcel stated prior to the movie’s release that ‘The Last Dance’ was just the beginning of his story. Based on all of this, Symbiotes truly do have a future in the SSU. Maybe it’s through Agent Venom?
