on Alex Kurtzman's Venom/Carnage also set to be released in 2017?

Following reports that Sony are planning on putting Peter Parker on the bench to focus on a new female-led spin-off in 2017 (you can find more details on that by clicking here), we now have more details on both Sinister Six and Venom.

Many fans are of course sceptical about the movie focusing on a team of villains, but Sony apparently believes that Drew Goddard is the perfect man for the job and can steer the franchise in the right direction.

“Having Goddard on board places the movie in the hands of someone who has lived in this world. If you look at Cabin In The Woods, he did such a phenomenal job on that in redefining and commenting on the genre while also completely embracing it. He’s a fanboy which compliments his talents as a filmmaker.”

As for Venom, Alex Kurtzman (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) is still attached to direct and is writing the movie with Ed Solomon (Men in Black).

However, it has now been revealed that a possible title for the project is Venom Carnage, and that gives us a MUCH better idea of the direction that particular spin-off will be heading in. That too is now set for a 2017 release according to reports.

    Does anyone else get the feeling that they’re doing something great. Amazing 3 is going to have so much to play off of. I’m pumped.

    I think you meant ‘2017 release’, on the final line… But anyway, I’m really looking foward to this movie and the other possible ones. I love Spider-Man, but as the franchise was rebooted in a short period of time from the last movie (2007 to 2012) and the same origin story was told, even if it was in different POV, the major audiences are used to Spider-Man in the meaning of a new movie not being as exciting as it should be. By delaying the thrid one, they can give people some time to “forget” about Spider-Man and make it feel fresh; making people want to watch it. The same thing would happen to Batman (that’s probably one of the reasons why introduce the character along with Superman and Wonder Woman).
    By expanding the Spider-Man frashice, they can make next Spider-Man movies much better than they’ll ever be, eventually leading to a crossover movie. Eventhough, in my opinion, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was the best Spider-Man movie ever made…

      I’m so excited for the female led spin-off. If they do this, Sony will have taken out Marvel and DC for the first female led modern superhero movie. (Cat woman doesn’t count) I sooo hope it’s The Black Cat. I’m ready for Venom Carnage now. And no one says if AG will be in any of these movies? Shouldn’t Spider-Man at least cameo in all of these movies considering it’s his universe? Especially the Venom/Carnage one. Can’t have Venom’s origin without Peter. I could see us watching Black Cat watch Spider-Man swing from another building and note how she’s attracted to him or something. And Sinister Six. What’s gonna be the point of that movie if AG isn’t in it? The whole point of them teaming up is so they’ll take out Spider-Man.
