To be honest, I actually think a Spider-Man spinoff focusing solely on Venom would be a good way to rejuvenate the Spider-Man franchise, since Spidey's stories themselves seem to be getting pretty tiresome. It seems like this idea is going to work out well for the X-Men series, as they devote one whole movie to Wolverine [1]'s story.

However, while it sounds like the bigwigs at Sony are interested in the Venom movie idea [2], they're not convinced that Topher Grace — who played Venom in the last Spidey flick — could carry an entire blockbuster superhero movie.

What do you think? Would you want to watch Topher venomize for a full movie? And if not Topher, then who?
