Todd McFarlane wants to see Venom as the villain in Spider-Man 4!? Been there done that, the characters getting his own spin-off movie so why does he need to be in part 4? I understand that Sam Raimi and Sony dropped the ball on bringing that character to life, but do we really want to see venom in the fourth Spider-Man film?
As you might know Todd Macfarlane was the co-creator of Venom so of course he wants to se him in another Spider-Man movie. Here is what he has to say on the matter.
“I co-created Venom. He was in the last ‘Spider-Man’ movie. And I think he might make an appearance here in the next one, too.”
He obviously did not like how the character was portrayed in the movie and offers some advice to Riami on how the villain can be corrected.
“He’s one of the more popular villains of the last ten, fifteen years. Given that I created him, I have a little bit of a bias. I would’ve done a few things different. When I first created him, I made him huge. That would’ve been the first thing for me; I would’ve wanted somebody who looked like he was three times the size of Spider-Man, so it was almost like Spider-Man going against the Hulk. [I want] someone who is really formidable; whenever you have a skinny character against a big one it’s like ‘Woah, I’m going to have to work today.’ But instead, the two of them were about the same size. I would’ve done something more dramatic. [I also would’ve increased] the nastiness; I never cared too much about the comics code. I always pushed the envelope until the editor said ‘You’d better pull that back.’”
I really couldn’t agree with Mcfarlane more. The guy makes some great points in his statement. That is the type of Venom villain we should have got. I also think he should have had a bigger role in the movie. Like the whole film should have been dedicated to Venom. I’d like to see a Venom like this come to life in the movies, but I don’t think it will be in this fourth one. I would be utterly shocked if he was. What type of venom are you hoping for?

I would like to see venom appear as the main villian in the new spiderman…. that would also open the door up for one of my personal favorites CARNAGE!!!!
I would really prefer that they just stick to the Venom spin off for now and maybe after that comes out see about working him into the 5th movie.
I wouldn't mind a small cameo of venom, but definitely not the head lining villain. They screwed him up too bad in the last movie, and it would feel like they were trying to make up for that. Maybe a short battle at the beginning to open the door for the real conflict.
[...] to GeekTyrant.com Todd McFarlane himself has come out and declared that Venom may be returning in Spider-man 4. His [...]
I am down for a bad ass Venom to be the main villain. He sucked in 3, so bring some sick real Venom action to the next movie….
DRVENKMAN, WHO THE HEAL ARE YOU???JUST BECAUSE HE CAN BE IN HIS OWN SPINOFF MEANS HE DOESN`T NEED TO BE IN ANOTHER SM FILM??? I`M REALLY IRRITATED PEOPLE KEEP SAYING TO LEAVE THE SYMBIOTES OUT OF THIS, LET THEM MAKE A TEAM IN SM5 AND THAT`S IT!!!HEY PRODUCERS, I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE MATURE ADULTS!!!LOOK AT YOUR LAST FILM, LOOK AT HOW IT WAS COURSED IN THE FRANCHISE, NOT DOING ANOTHER SYMBIOTE VILLAIN IN ONE OF THE NEXT FILMS WOULD MAKE YOUR MOVIES LOOK SO RETARDED!!!WHY ARE PEOPLE`S MINDS SO BOMBARDED??? AND YES VENOM DIDN`T WORK, BUT ONLY CUZ OF THE 2 OTHER VILLAINS BEING STUFFED IN THERE, IT`S THE WAY IT`S WRITTEN, ALSO BELIEVE IT OR NOT VENOM`S DESIGN ON THE SCREEN WORKED PRETTY WELL , WHY NOT FOR CARNAGE, ALSO THE SHOTS CAN`T BE THE TROUBLE, IT`S NOT LIKE SYMBIOTES ARE THE MOST CHALLENGING THING IN THIS WORLD TO MAKE A GREAT MOVIE ON SCREEN WITH, SAM RAIMI, ALL THE PRODUCERS, THE FANBOYS WANT CARNAGE VERY BADLY, IF YOU DON`T RESPECT THEIR OPINIONS YOU`LL MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK SELFISH, BUT YOU GUYS JUST DON`T CARE, DO YOU???
speaking in CAPS does not make you look cool or that you know what you are talking about
I always thought that look and stature wise wrestlings HHH would have been the best fit. His persona from wrestling also fit the Venom.
ok listen wonderboy, i`m not trying to be "cool" and i`m just making clear sense. I know what i`m trying to say, i don`t say things without being clear, what do you think you`re COOL" and know what you`re "TALKING" about when you`re reflecting it back to me?
