Sony’s Spider-Man cinematic universe is growing up to be one of the biggest in the genre, not only thanks to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, 3 and 4, but also the spin-off movies, Sinister Six and Venom.
In a recent interview to IGN, Roberto Orci, the co-writer of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 3 as well as of the solo spin-off film Venom and one of the key members in developing the Spider-Man cinematic universe, talked about bringing these villains to the screen and how are they going to do it. Will it be bad guys turned good? The other way around? How?
“That’s the discussion we’re having right now; how exactly do you do that, and how do you do it without betraying the audience and making them all mean? Drew Goddard [the director/co-writer of 'The Cabin in the Woods'] is going to be writing that one, so it’s kind of his problem. [Laughs.] I’m kidding. We’re all working on each other’s stuff. So we want to be true to it, but there are some anti-heroes in this day and age. There’s been examples of that even on TV – Vic Mackey on ‘The Shield,’ one of the great anti-heroes of all time. There are ways to milk that story. Audiences have seen everything. They’ve seen all the good guys who never do anything wrong. Is there a story in seeing the other side? That’s the challenge, and that’s the fun. I’m not sure how we’re going to do that yet.”
Regarding the villains in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Orci said:
“Oscorp plays an important part in how our villains get created, obviously, in the first one. So because Peter becoming Spider-Man came out of that, rather than saying, ‘And then this alien came from space,’ or whatever, they’re doing human-hybrid, weird stuff at Oscorp. That’s where Gwen Stacy works [...] as well. So the idea of it representing the good and the bad of science, that it can do great things, but it can also mess you up and do weird things and transform people – as all science can be used for good or bad. So it’s nice to have that organizing principal, but it wasn’t like, ‘We must keep it at Oscorp.’ It flowed naturally from the story development.”
As many comic book fans know, there are multiple storylines and origin stories for a myriad of characters like in this case Venom. Orci refers to Venom as an “alien came from space”, so he is implying that the character comes from the 616 run, but Orci also says ”they’re doing human-hybrid, weird stuff at Oscorp”, which comes from the Ultimate Spider-Man series. So what will it be? 616 or Ultimate? It sounds like Venom could come from a jar at Oscorp and not from outer space.
Orci then clarified the mix-up with The Amazing Spider-Man 4 release date (2018), saying that it will indeed be for TASM4 and not Sinister Six or Venom:
“[...] No, I think with ‘Spider-Man 4,’ the intention is for it to be ‘Spider-Man.’ “
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens on April 18th, 2014 and will star Andrew Garfield (Spider-Man), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Jamie Foxx (Electro), Chris Cooper (Norman Osborne), Dane DeHaan (Harry Osborn), Paul Giamatti (Rhino), Sally Field (Aunt May), Martin Sheen (Uncle Ben), Colm Feore (The Vulture - rumor), B.J. Novak, Brian Haley (Phil Watson), Martin Csokas (Dr. Kafka) and Felicity Jones.
