The Hype: Tom Hardy will star as legendary Spider-Man antagonist Venom in this standalone origin story that's kinda-but-not-really set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer directs.

Why It Won't Happen: For starters, there's no way the movie makes that planned October 2018 release date, and it just seems like one of those promising projects that never gets off the ground due to a perfect storm of script issues and scheduling.

Hardy is a busy man, after all, and Fleischer is currently circling other projects (namely a John Cena-starring buddy cop film), so don't be shocked if this one languishes in development hell for a few years before falling off a cliff.

Why It Still Could: The movie absolutely won't hinge on Fleischer's availability and he's easily replaceable. Plus, there's so much potential money to be made with the Venom brand that there will surely be a lot of stubbornness to get the film in production.
