Whether or not this is set in a multiverse is literally the only narratively interesting thing about it, because otherwise, this looks like a meme in the making and I'm disappointed that Jared Leto seems like he's not going full Jared Leto in this.

Someday I'll see what some do in him. "Full" Leto or not, he's an acting nonentity from I've seen of him. I mean hell even in Blade Runner 2049 when he's got a sizeable gig, Dave Bautista in his one scene (1) more of an impression and (2) actually made that movie better. 

 

Marvel dodged a bullet on him when he was on the Dr. Strange shortlist. And yet ultimately they couldn't avoid him anyway lol.

Okay am I the only one thinking people might be underestimating this movie? I don’t think it looks amazing, but Venom did have its box office detractors before it came out. 
 

honestly unless it’s Fant4stic level bad, I don’t have a problem with predicting over 100M domestic for this.

Venom had an IP advantage to say the least. 
 

I mean depending on budget and considering that dire market release date, it could do alright? Crazier things have happened.

There’s an under $15M ow club that is absolutely ridiculous.  This will easily double that.

The movie might end up being just okay, but my opinion is that Jared Leto isn't really a box office draw or all that popular of an actor in general these days so idk how much him being the man character will excite people.

 

I think this will likely do ok overall but ultimately nothing special or really noteworthy. This'll likely be one of those movies that'll just come and go, with people later in 2022 going "oh yeah remember that Morbius movie that came out earlier this year?" It'd be hilarious if this does well and they end up announcing a Morbius and Venom crossover movie in the near future.

To be fair this isn't banking on Leto (asides from trying to get a rub from an Oscar winner's presence) as much as "Hey kids, its a Marvel movie...with vampires...that isn't Blade!" And that might be enough. Depending again on budget/marketplace.

I don't think the world is ready for a Hardy vs. Leto scenery-chewing contest.

Honestly, I think Leto is an anti draw at this point, people kinda fucking hate him nowadays

Venom had viral trailers. Trailers here have come and gone.

Well, he has his own cult or whatever, so some people must still like him.

It was SONY's  call on casting Leto, not Marvel Studios.

Kevin Feige is keeping his distance from the SONY Spiderverse spinoffs.

I'm pretty sure that's purely an online thing, and it's unfair to boot. He deserved his Oscar and he's been pretty good in Blade Runner and The Little Things.

Never said Feige cast him in this. 

 

Yes he’s doing what he can to ignore these movies, but technically these movies are now MCU linked. My jab stands.

Not exactly convincing. 

[EmpireCity]

Leto is also great in House of Gucci and is going to get some good will back from that.

A trailer played before Resident Evil but I’m sure it only included the same kind of stuff they showed a year ago. Didn’t show a lot lol
