Lost in the shuffle of the announcement, however, was that writers Scott Rosenberg (Pain & Gain, Jumanji) & Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) will pen the script for the film.
Sony Pictures Animation, meanwhile, is delivering a non-MCU animated Spider-Man movie on December 21, 2018, just two months after the new Venom movie release date.
Last night came word that Sony had officially set a release date for an upcoming Venom movie, putting the standalone feature out on October 5, 2018.
Venom previously appeared on the big screen, played by Topher Grace in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3.
