Yeah, it was a good idea to bring in John Jameson in 2.
They do have some seeds already sewn. They could do Venom, but it'll be number 4. And a spin-off for Venom is the dumbest thing ever.
I'd love to see Venom. Done PROPERLY. What would happen if the Venom fanboys had their way? We'd see a waterred down Venom in Spider-Man 3 with half of what his character is capable of. It'd be Aliens vs Predator all over again.
