Venom Movie Seeking New Writer

Heath Ledger’s performance has apparently convinced Marvel that a villain can carry his own movie.

Didn’t most people dislike Venom in Spiderman 3 though?

Also, will the Venom solo film feature the character as a good guy or a bad guy? There have been some comic book story-lines and series about Venom as a hero of sorts and that never sat right with me. He’s an evil alien creature attached to an unsuspecting guy with a grudge on Spiderman. Sounds like a bad guy to me.

Would it be possible to do a comic book movie with a villain as the main character though? Sure, Joker was a huge part of The Dark Knight, but in the end the audience is still meant to be rooting for Batman, correct?

Hey, Catwoman was a villian… oh never mind…

Well, There have been a bunch of movies where the bad guy is the lead. Like Scarface, The Godfather, and Friday the 13th movies. It could work, but I doubt that they would go through with just letting Venom be a villain.

I smile at Venom and kiss him on the nose.

Right. Because Elektra was just so fantastic of a movie… I can’t see a Venom movie being any good.
