      I'm sure they'll come together eventually (Sony still owns both IPs) but I'd assume the contract with Marvel Studios doesn't allow it while Spideys in the MCU. If things pan out, doing Venom as part of the "Multiverse" with an entirely different Spidey would be cool too.

    It would be cool to see Carnage be made even though he is mostly the same. I find the Bloody Red Crimson to be so Grim.

    OMG, That's why I could NEVER make good clay hands! I always tried to cut the thumb from the mitt, not add it afterward! Thank you!

      Yes! If you make your hand into a shape like you're grabbing a bottle, you can see how the thumb is an almost entirely separate part of the hand, so trying to cut it from the mitt is asking for trouble.
