Rumors: Writer Has Been Found for Animated R-Rated Venom Project

Despite some of the SSU movies getting mixed or negative reviews (like Morbius), the SSU keeps going and now has many live-action and animated projects in the works, focusing on Spider-Man’s side characters and villains. ‘Madame Web’ came out on February 14th and didn’t do well, with Dakota Johnson criticizing its development publicly.

Upcoming releases include ‘Kraven the Hunter’ on August 30th, 2024, and ‘Venom: The Last Dance,’ which changed its release date to October 25th instead of November 3rd. ‘Venom’ is the most successful franchise in the SSU, so it’s not surprising that there are reports of Feige wanting to bring him into the MCU.

Even though “The Last Dance” marks the conclusion of Venom’s current story, it doesn’t signal the end of Venom-related projects. Recently, there have been discussions about an animated R-rated Venom project in the works. Now, a prominent source, CanWeGetSomeToast, has reported that Seth Rogen has been brought on board to write the story.

Seth Rogen, primarily recognized as an actor in stoner films, has showcased his talent in writing and directing as well. Notable writing credits include episodes for ‘Undeclared’ (2001-2002), ‘Da Ali G Show’ (2004), ‘The Simpsons’ (2009), ‘The League’ (2013-2014), and ‘Preacher’ (2016-2019). He also contributed to ‘Future Man’ (2017-2020) and directed episodes for ‘Black Monday’ (2019-2021) and ‘The Boys’ (2019-present). Additionally, he was involved in acclaimed projects like ‘Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ ‘Gen V,’ and ‘Invincible,’ indicating his ability to deliver compelling stories.
