Looks good, directed by Andy Serkis so that's interesting. I'll see it, regardless of the reviews. It's like Godzilla vs. Kong, I'm not going for the plotholes and acting here. [Reply]
I'll say it......I'd feel way way better about this movie belonged to Marvel and the Russo Brothers had directed it. Or ANY of their stable of directors, really. [Reply]
I thought the first one was pretty meh. Which is too bad, because I really liked Venom in the comics. This trailer doesn't give me much hope. The humor just doesn't really fit. I'll probably watch it though. [Reply]

Yep. Sony made enough money to justify the sequel, and they are going to milk that cow dry to please the fanbois. [Reply]

As of right now. Nothing will preclude them from rebooting the entire MCU in the future and including Spider-man and all of the other IP that Sony currently owns.
The decision makers at Sony have been historically dumb, stupid and out of touch. But once Amy Pascal was booted a few years ago after the disastrous hack, the studio has been making smarter decisions.
Their new deal with Netflix was extremely smart, as was their deal with Disney+/Marvel. Sony doesn't have the catalog that Warners, Universal/NBC, Viacom/Paramount/CBS or Disney so instead of trying to compete with them with a streaming service that would cost them hundreds of millions and most likely fail, they've made agreements with other streamers and are finally focused on content.
I'm sure they're still going to make mistakes with their creative division and it's a real shame that they own the Spider-Man IP, but at least they're finally on the right track. [Reply]

Into the Spiderverse was the best thing Sony ever did with that particular IP. [Reply]
