Maybe I have unrealistic hopes... afterall, Spider-Man 3 was the most successful of the Spiderman films, and it WASN'T because people wanted to see Sandman or Gobby Jr.

I see a lot of internet wrath for it, but the people I see on an daily basis or out and about seem very positive. The fact it's a record-breaking internet trailer also gives me tons of optimism. Really hope it sets October records. I have a feeling Silver & Black and Morbius won't go anywhere.
Venom could really support a 3 movie trilogy, but not a "Universe"... origin movie, maximum carnage adaptation (support Morbius and S&B spinoffs), then Planet of the Symbiotes/ Web of Shadows game influenced world invasion by symbiotes.

I LOVE the fact they dropped the Spider-Man connection, as it's the weakest aspect of Venom. Makes him seem pathetic, not a real villain. More like a temper tantrum...

Also, the look is spot-on, imho. Yeah, there isn't a white spider, but from people I know who were in Hall H, Venom has quite a bit of white on his chest.

Anyway, back to topic... Yeah, I never expected Hasbro to make movie figures. They never did for Logan, Deadpool, Blade, etc. But as I said, it's the Hot Toys and Funko that surprises me. They make figures of almost everything, along with a Sideshow statue or two.
