Probably let it slide for the lulz.

Its all jokes until someone gets a pumpkin bomb in the face.

Well that was pretty much the case. lol

And the new Venom (comics) is Flash Thompson! I am fucking thrilled because I've been sort of a Flash fan for many years. In fact while watching the 90's Spidey toon, I felt Flash should of been Venom rather than Brock (source material be damned). I liked his scenes in the first Spidey movie and the whole 'picks on Peter but loves Spider-Man' a character generated mixed feelings in me. So yeah, hearing that he's getting a push as the new SpecOp-ified Venom is good news for me. His first challenge will be Kraven the Hunter. Here's hopping he gets to face Spidey himself someday.

I was hoping it would be John Jameson

So what's his relationship with Parker like now? Is it still love Spidey/hate Peter, kinda curious as to why they would have to fight each other.

And the way he's holding the gun in that picture looks incredibly awkward.

There is nothing they can do at this point, to make symbiotes interesting to me anymore. Oversaturation killed them forever for me.

Last time I was excited for anything involving a symbiote, was when sentry ripped carnage in half.

Instead of bringing back venom, they should bring back sentry, so he can throw every remaining symbiote into the sun.

Also, wtf, I know Flash served in the military, but have they referenced that at all, in the last like, 20 years? Has he ever even picked up a gun in that time?

Stupid.

He rejoined the military a few years ago to fight in Iraq. And he came back home missing a few limbs.

Well then he obviously wasn't very good at it, so it still doesn't make sense.

To be fair, it did earn him a recommendation for the Medal of Honor. Crazed heroics and the like.

Have they said that this Venom is actually a symbiote? Because he doesn't look particularly symbiote-ish to me.

It is. And they're smarter about it this time, Flash has to remove the creature after a few days so he doesn't suffer the ill effects. We'll see how long that lasts, though.

Venom needs to die off or go back to classic Brock, but preferably just die off. That new Venom looks awful and really Flash Thompson? Super lame.

Super awesome.

Not every character needs to have super powers

Very true. Some of my favorite characters from our planned comic line have no powers.

Good to see the Spider-Mobile makes an appearance in this film!

Hot damn I'm feelin patriotic right now. Gonna go punch a Mexican.

I'm so jealous of Chris Evans.

Thanks, Darren!

While I presume the character in question is SHIELD mainstay, Maria Hill (who Morena would be perfect for), I gotta have hopes for my perfect woman Jessica Lucas. This could be her break, though she doesn't seem suited for Maria Hill (if she's the character).

Notes:

- Nick Fury will appear in Captain America and Thor this summer.
- Chris Evans is set to be Cap in six movies. What ratio of Captain America to Avengers movie aren't said. Bear in mind he could appear in Iron Man and that could count. Many of these deals are unique in that actors are signed to appear as their characters, but not signed to particular movies. The sixth movie could be Civil War for all we know. I imagine Marvel will push out bargain priced movies and save big spending for cross over films. They'd also have the actors rotate as to service their own careers and keep them 'fresh'. So Chris Evans may cameo as Cap in Iron Man 3 and then star in Captain America 2 the year after. These are just my stab at 'industry analyzing'.

Errr, Cobbie Smulders as Maria Hill would most definetely not work.

And Morena Baccarin? We know she looks hot even if short hair, so yeah.

Gonna go punch another Mexican.

It might not be maria hill. I would guess it's Daisy Johnson, his protege in the comics since secret war.

Every pic I see of Chris Evans makes me more and more jealous.

They done a great job with the Captain America costume.

Be interesting to see how they modify it for the modern day parts of the movie.

Fuck that, use the same one.

If I were in charge I'd quite happily let that happen.

Seeing as its a movie company looking to make a profit making the decisions...

Sure, Halloween season and such.

Fairly confident he'll be using the same look, present day.

Fingers crossed they do. I'm not so confident though.

Would have to say, of all the superhero costumes I've seen put together for movies, this Captain America costume is by far the best.

I'm guessing that's from the newer part of the film based on the head gear.

Doesn't she look the same as Maria Hill anyway?

Why is the Johnny Storm playing Captian America? What the hell is Marvel thinking? They fuck up the stories to "keep it fresh" then cast the same actor for two different but huge roles in the Marvel universe. Hollywood just blows the big one.
