Alan Ritchson is being eyed by fans for a slew of roles that seem perfect for the actor. From the DCU’s Batman to the MCU’s Captain Britain. Another role that fans want the actor to see essaying is Flash Thompson, Agent Venom in Marvel Comics, in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters.
There have been a lot of rumors swirling about the Agent Venom project, and there are some ideas that fans are very excited to hear about. However, the scoopers who claim to have found any news about the project have been misquoted, leading to some fake rumors being mixed in with genuine ones, as odd as it sounds.
An Agent Venom project might be in the works at Sony, and that is all we know for now
An Agent Venom film is reportedly in the works over at Sony. However, there are some ideas that certain sources have been attributing to scoopers which are wholly not true. To begin with, there have been some rumors that have been floating online that the Agent Venom story will be taking place in Battleworld, between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The film is also reported to have connections to the live-action Silver Sable film.
However, apart from the information that there might be an Agent Venom film in the works, all other ‘rumors’ are not part of a scoop. In this case, X-user DanielRPK has called out the accounts that have been posting exaggerated rumors, which are based on their reportage about the Agent Venom film, to begin with.
However, fans do want to see Alan Ritchson as Agent Venom, whether the scoopers have reported it or not
Agent Venom is a character that fans have wanted to see in live-action for a long time. Flash Thompson might have simply started out as Peter Parker’s high school bully, but the character has matured into a superhero in his own right.
While there have been actors who have played Flash Thompson in the past, Alan Ritchson‘s tenure in Blue Mountain State has proven that the actor is practically tailor-made for the role of Peter’s high school bully.
While Tony Revolori, has played the character to perfection, the war veteran Flash Thompson would work way better with an actor like Alan Ritchson. The actor has had a long history of playing army men, which makes him the perfect pick for the character. Further, at 41, the actor might be at the right age to carry a franchise for Sony, which can explore Knull and his hold on Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
