Producers hint solo pic could be in same universe as Spidey reboot.
The producers of The Amazing Spider-Man say Sony's planned Venom movie just might exist within the same universe as the Spidey reboot, leaving the door open for potential crossover films a la Marvel Studios' "Phase One" slate.
Producer Matt Tolmach told Hollywood.com, "Look for the worlds [of The Amazing Spider-Man and Venom] to make sense with another." He added, "Hopefully, all these worlds will live together in peace someday."
Fellow producer Avi Arad revealed which incarnation of Venom the movie will follow. "It's an Eddie Brock story," said Arad, a producer on Venom/Brock's last big screen appearance, Spider-Man 3. "We want to be as close to the comics as possible. Especially in Eddie Brock's story. But again, pseudo-science is becoming science."
Arad continued, "All these tidbits about webs, artificial webs, is a huge industry now. Spiderwebs have unique qualities that will be huge for communications, fibers, and so forth. So we have taken the approach that we want to make the huge amazing movie about Eddie."
