I stopped watching all the Deadpool interviews. Every few months Reynolds or someone else says something like "It's coming! We're very excited! Don't know when though...".

It will happen. Sony wants to try and copy Marvel studios by expanding on the Spiderman Universe as much as they possibly can. Venom the first obvious step in that process.
I'm not sure it's such a good idea tbh. Can't even imagine a trailer for it. A guy who is kind of like Spider-man (webswinging and all) except he's not Spider-man. General public might not like that.

I'm not sure either about how well it would do. Would be a big risk too since Spider-Man movies tend to cost a lot, so I'm guessing Venom wouldn't be cheap either.
But they are intent on the whole "Spider-Man villains" movies. Since they only have the rights to Spider-Man they're limited on other Super-heroes they can use to form their own Marvel comics cinematic universe.
Idk It may do ok. Venom seems to be a pretty popular character. They may also not go the whole web swinging route. I they might make him kinda like the one from the Ultimate Spider-Man game.
If they decide to take creative liberties with Venom however, I certainly will not be happy. I feel like Venom doesn't have the same power he once did in the 90s but a movie done right could make him a major player in the comicverse once again.
