VENOM Character Breakdowns May Confirm That The Movie Will Adapt The "Lethal Protector" Comic Book Arc
Sony's Venom movie has been in production for 2 weeks at this stage, but before cameras started rolling, That Hashtag Show got hold of some very interesting supporting character breakdowns that might just confirm those "Lethal Protector" plot rumors.
The descriptions don't bring any specific Marvel Comics characters to mind, but there is a chance this eclectic bunch will fill the roles of the individuals The Life Foundation chooses to bond with the Venom symbiote's offspring:
[FEMALE PARAMEDIC] 20’s, very attractive, physical type. MUST speak fluent Mandarin…CO-STAR
[ZIGGY] 19, a male guitar player, he is a rocker or punk guy who never stops playing the guitar…CO-STAR
[LEWIS DONTAE] Male, serious, very physical soldier of fortune. MUST be a stunt performer…CO-STAR
[BABY NIGHT] 50’s-60’s, former hippie, now homeless. MUST be able to sing…CO-STAR
[MRS. CHEN] 50’s-60’s, funny, endearing Asian woman who owns the corner store…CO-STAR
Just speculation for now of course, but keep in mind that we still have no idea who the likes of Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, Riz Ahmed and Scott Haze will be playing, so it is possible that some or all of them have filled these roles.
Sony’s cinematic universe based on Spider-Man characters just got a little bigger.
The studio is developing Morbius, a feature project centered on Spider-Man antihero Morbius the Living Vampire.
Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, who worked on the recent Power Rangers movie, wrote the script, which was just submitted to the studio after a secret development process.
Morbius was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #101, the first issue not written by Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee.
Morbius is Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. He instead became afflicted with a condition that was a form of vampirism — the thirst for blood, along with fangs and super strength — and fought Spider-Man. Over time, however, he became a slightly heroic figure in his own right.
Details of Sony’s take on the character are not known.
Sony has been furiously developing its stable of Marvel-licensed characters that are mostly based off the heroes and villains that are connected to Spider-Man. However, these new movies will not be connected to Sony’s Tom Holland movies and not connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is being produced by Marvel Studios.
Sony had no comment.
Sharpless and Sazama previously tackled vampirism with Dracula Untold, Universal’s origin of the most famous vampire that starred Luke Evans. They also count The Last Witch Hunter and Gods of Egypt among their credits.
The duo also are showrunning and writing the Lost in Space reboot for Netflix that is to debut next year.
They are repped by ICM Partners.
Sony Pictures Now Said To Be In Talks With Fox
A new report reveals that Sony Pictures may now be interested in acquiring the company, a surprising move but one which makes perfect sense thinking about it.
The Washingon Post reveals that Fox has only been informally approached by Sony and that means talks are in the very early stages. Bear in mind that the studio has been struggling for a while in terms of output and after losing the James Bond franchise, Sony could do with gaining a lot of new IPs.
If Sony buys Fox the X-Men and F4 rights revert back to Marvel. One way or another Marvel is getting those rights back. Feige somewhere laughing while doing the birdman hand rub with both of the real and fake infinity gauntlets on.
That age old I might sign with/trade this player to the Knicks ploy.Fox is just using Sony for leverage.
