Even though "Spider-Man 4" is being made, it seems that a "Venom" spin-off is also still a possibility. And while Stan Lee had nothing to do with the creation of the villainous character, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have revealed that they have written a cameo for him anyway.
"Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it," Reese told SuperheroHype. "I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come."
"Venom" will likely be a big earner, but Todd McFarlane (real creator of the character) believes that a film based on a villain would likely not be very good.
"I'm thinking about how they want to make anti-heroes nowadays," he said, citing Halle Berry's disastrous turn in "Catwoman" as an example. "Those don't work. The reason they're so cool as a bad guy is because they're bad. And as soon as you try to give too much humanity to them, then you go, 'No! Now they're not as good as a bad guy because you're trying to redeem them'."
