Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis explains why Eddie Brock has yet to meet Spider-Man and teases when the confrontation might happen.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis recently explained why Eddie Brock has yet to meet Spider-Man — and whether that confrontation will be depicted on film soon.
“Look, that’s the question on everyone’s lips. They want to know when Venom is going to meet Spider-Man,” Serkis said during a recent Instagram Live with IGN. “Personally, it’s never going to happen! I’m only joking! It’s going to happen…It’s gonna happen; of course, it’s gonna happen.”
Serkis added that a future face-off between the symbiote and the web-slinging hero has always been in the back of his mind, but that currently he’s focused on telling Venom’s side of the story.
“Look, it depends when you want to get there and also what the appetite is,” the director continued. “If people want more Venom stories, then to jump straight to Spider-Man, you could be missing out on so many great supervillain characters between now and then.” He noted that he’s “not rushing to it” and cited a number of other supervillains within Venom canon that could be explored, including other symbiotes behind bars at the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane.
“Point taken, yes, everybody wants to see Venom fight Spider-Man,” Serkis concluded. “So I think, again, it’s appetite…they’ll be sacrificing all of that stuff if they want to rush to that.”
During the same conversation, Serkis also detailed why Let There Be Carnage received a PG-13, rather than an R rating. “Well, look. I mean, the fact of the matter is that you could go down an R-rated, you know, adult version of this. Of course you could,” the director explained. “You could have done that with the last film. But we wanted to reach a big audience with this, and with that, there are several kind of rules that you have to abide by.” He added, however, “I think we have pushed to the very very limits, the danger and darkness, and the threat and the menace of Carnage.”
To Serkis’ credit, it was recently confirmed that James’ Gunn recent take on The Suicide Squad — which was R-Rated — failed to reach the box office heights of its 2016 PG-13 predecessor.
Directed by Andy Serkis, Venom: Let There Be Carnage stars Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson. The film arrives in theaters on Oct. 1.
