In fact, the appearance of this film still has to start with a story about Sony and Marvel.
If we search for Venom's Baidu Encyclopedia, we will clearly see at the end that the film has nothing to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the film is only shown as an independent spin-off film. HH
At the beginning of the establishment of Marvel Comics, a lot of classic IPs were created, but in the 1980s and 1990s, Marvel launched two movies "The Incredible Hulk" and "Fantastic Four", but these two movies received a general response, which eventually led to Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy, and under the circumstances, Marvel decided to sell some of the hero IPs to get funds. At that time, Sony obtained the shooting rights of Spider-Man for an ultra-low price of $7 million, which led to the subsequent Spider-Man trilogy and later "Spider-Man: Homecoming". The return here actually refers to the return that Marvel bought back Spider-Man's IP.
The "Spider-Man" trilogy filmed by Sony had a mediocre response, but "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was very popular, so there was the origin of this "Venom".
This is Sony's attempt at a new superhero movie.
