We are crazy excited."It was clear that the pair are hugely confident in the appeal of the Venom character. "We did Venom in the UK as a special issue based on the '94 show: the three-parter," remembers Arad. "And I think if you check the record book it was probably one of the best-selling videos. Way before DVD. Because the character is interesting. Even Venom is not – we call them villains, but he's really not a villain."Venom will be directed by Alex Kurtzman, and while it doesn't yet have a confirmed release date, last week producer Matt Tolmach suggested we would see it before The Amazing Spider-Man 4.A Spider-Man film of some sort is scheduled for May 4, 2018.
