Dang that's a lot of exclamation points... Ryan Reynolds was excellent as Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but he was also in the movie for like 3 minutes and by the end of the film they had completely botched the Deadpool character. I want to believe this movie could be awesome, but seeing how it'll be made by Fox I'm not holding my breath.
Here's some news on a Spider-man 3 spin-off no one wants
Now Sony is going forward with a Venom spinoff movie, which pretty much has fans split down the middle. Will it finally do the fanged black-ooze baddie justice, or will it be more of the same? The good news is that Zombieland co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been tasked with penning the project (Zombieland is awesome, so fingers crossed).
Today Wernick confirmed to us that the project is still moving forward and the writing team has turned the script in to the suits at Sony. "We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," Wernick told SCI FI Wire in an exclusive interview.

Venom can be a great villain, but all through the 90s Marvel proved that he's an awful good guy. If Sony wants to make a Venom movie in the horror/action mold akin to something like Predator or Aliens it would be sweet. However, If they try to do the whole anti-hero thing with Venom you might as well subtitle the movie Venom: Box Office Poison.
And lastly and oldie but a goodie. From the Iron Man 2 Mickey Rourke explains how he brings a little something extra to the character of Whiplash...
Rourke, for his part, wanted to instill some lightness into the role. “I told Favreau, ‘I don’t want to just play him as a one-dimensional pussy’” he says. “He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit.”

That's right, nothing says fully dimensional characterization like giving a character a random pet for a side-kick. Thanks Mickey, you're a gift that keeps on giving.
