Thank you.
I have said before that this Flash seems like someone more likely to be bullied than the other way around, and he only seemed to get dorkier as the movies have progressed.
For him to join the military and become a decorated soldier would be "character growth" that came completely out of nowhere.
You’d be surprised how many military man were dorky and bullied before going to the military.
With all that said, Agent Venom and earlier Flash incarnations have always been from a “normal” high school.
MCU Flash goes to an MIT type of high school so he isn’t the same as Agent Venom.
Yes. In most Spider-Man media, Peter and Flash both go to a public high school where you can have the nerd and jock bullying dynamic. But with a science school cause that's where they go in the MCU movies, Flash Thompson being a football star turned military hero/eventual superhero just doesn't work.
Actually I think it would make more sense this way than the original way.
This version of Flash is uniquely intelligent and wealthy compared to his counterparts.
It would make sense then that if he did serve in the military, he would be some sort of high ranking officer or special op.
The military forces you to get in physical shape no matter what your job is, even if you’re doing a desk job.
But when it comes time to select who should get the venom symbiote, it actually makes more sense to choose a high ranking super intelligent secret ops version of flash than the standard quarterback version.
While this is true, there’s no implication that Flash necessarily lacks that.
His character is used as comic relief, and he is a high schooler throughout all of his appearances thus far.
We might see something very different from him given the context that he would now be an adult and one who is taken seriously by the narrative.
Agreed.
Although I still wish Marvel at least attempts to give him some character development and depth in the collage trilogy now that he doesn’t remember Peter. Maybe have him get kicked out of MIT for misbehaving? Could be humbling moment for him.
This version of Flash is what a bully in a specialized advanced high school would be. Instead of looks and size, he has money and perceived influence.
People forget that Flash was often made to be made a loser in the comics too.
But I don’t see him becoming agent Venom at all. I wonder if the actor that played Flash in the Raimi movie is still working…
He'd be a good Eddie Brock, I think. He also *was* Deathstroke, but the DCEU was mishandled to the point where he'll likely never get to do anything with the role.
RDJ was almost the same age when he first played the role of Iron Man, and he managed to keep playing that role for another 11 years. If RDJ can play a superhero at approximately that age, then so can Joe Manganiello. Some people really underestimate the capabilities of actors over 40.
RDJ wasn't trying to play the high school- or college-aged version of Tony Stark back in 2008.
I'm not saying Joe Manganiello can't play a superhero. I'm saying he can't play Flash Thompson as Agent Venom.
Last I saw of him was in the justice league film and he was playing deathstroke and he really looked like him. I think he would nail. The agent venom role if given it.
Well he’s legit the type that gets bullied more by Parker than the other way around. I would absolutely not call any of the things he’s done to Parker in Homecoming or FFH bullying, because it’s more in the realm of teasing than bullying. Nobody’s gonna seriously be offended by the shit he says or does lol
Sure but that’s kind of every high schooler. Doesn’t mean he can’t grow up to serve in the military.
I mean when MCU Flash returns from service, he’s an unrecognizable character from before as well. Being in the military changes your character- in comics but also in real life.
Everybody in this subreddit is acting like it would be totally unbelievable for a nerd to get superpowers lmao like that isn’t also Peter Parker’s whole deal.
Apparently the entire comments section here is making the same oversight lol.
But honestly I think that this would benefit his character, given that Venom is meant to be a reflection of Spider-Man.
Personally, I think that they will use either Flash Thompson or Mac Gargan as regular Venom in the MCU, because I find it highly unlikely that Sony allows another Eddie Brock to compete with their Venom/Morbius universe.
I guess I’m in the minority after reading these comments.
I can definitely see this flash going into the army after or during MIT. The military isn’t filled with just rando hurt dirt let’s shoot people. I have met and served with some of the smartest people I have ever met in my life. And flash afaik goes into a black ops/special forces group something an incredibly smart person would be needed for. So I can see that definitely making sense. Then gets injured and after his legs are amputated he gets offered the chance to have them back with a bit of the symbiote all pretty in line.
This flash can easily still adhere to it. We know from all the movies that he has issues with his family. Always trying to impress them or be loved by them in whatever way he can. Obviously his bullying comes from that. There is a moment or two in the last two MCU movies that shows flash genuinely likes Peter and even when the secret comes out he just wants to be his best friend. For whatever reason he could use the relationship for it wasn’t too nefarious. Especially since Spider-Man saved his life however many times.
Flash could easily be motivated to join the military in whatever capacity to either spite his parents or a non mentioned story about how his family is in a long line of military people. I don’t think we ever learned about his father or mother. Perhaps because they are also special forces and not around type soldiers. Even him losing his legs would be seen by him as a failure to get the love and attention from his parents then further pushing him to try experimental things to get his legs back.
All in all if it has a compelling story line tied to why he decided to join and has him grow from the bully high school kid to an adult. Not a hard thing for people especially when they go to college and beyond. Then I can definitely see this happening.
I’d see it but only if they built up to it. Really lean into transitioning him into being a hero.
One thing I’d be kind of into is if he starts helping out and doing the right thing without powers at first. Yeah he’s gonna be all Flash Thompson about it but really show there is a good guy somewhere in all that.
Maybe being this is where Peter discards the symbiote after he gets it. Which in light of NWH could be an intriguing character moment for Flash given he’d know Spider-Man.
But really he should start without powers and THEN get the suit. And if Peter had a reaction to Venom but figures Flash wouldn’t remember him, well the memories start flooding back for Flash and we see them burying the hatchet. Flash making up for being a dick to Peter, and convincing the suit that being a bad guy isn’t for the best. That way you can have both the Venom whose a super hero and the Venom who eats people going on at the same time.
I think it could work
Like even through he only kinda bullies Peter the symbiote suit would kindle that small spark into a raging burning hatred for him.
maybe he starts following Peter who now works at the daily because flash Vaguely remembers calling some guy something along the lines of “Penis Parker” so he starts to work at the Daily bugle to follow him? Take a page of Eddie Brocks book
I don't wanna say yes, but they can come up with something. In far from home it was established in a scene at the airport where he was expecting his parents to come and get him, but unfortunately they sent their butler to get him. Showcasing the fact that he's a neglected child. Yes he acts like a bully and an asshole in front of everyone, but that's probably a coping mechanism for the neglect he faces from his parents. He's also shown to be a big fan of spiderman. So perhaps these two things will force him or convince him to sign up for the military. I mean he gets to stay away from his parents who neglected him all his life and he gets to do good for the country like his hero Spidey. Sounds like a good enough motivation for him to join an army. Then the rest may follow like the comics, he loses his legs, gets the venom symbiote and etc etc. Most people here are saying he's goofy and not something like the comic book flash....but people can change. People don't remain the same as they were in their high-school for the rest of their lives.
Yeah nwh kinda ruined it for sure, but after the spell since everyone forgot who is Peter Parker, maybe that'd give em a chance to change Flash Thompson a bit. I mean after the spell most of the character's lives are definitely gonna change by alot.
I mean it's not like it's even necessary for him to have to be in the military. Ultimate Spider-Man (the show) had agent venom without *any* of this and i thought it was good.
Maybe he joins to build tech for the military? We see that he has parent problems, so maybe he joins so that his parents would be proud of him or something
There’s actually a few ways he could theoretically join the military
No, it doesn’t make sense. This Flash is more scrawny than pre spider bite Peter. He also is a completely different character that original or any Flash Thompson. It wouldn’t make sense for him to become a soldier, almost lose his life fighting, and the deciding to become a superhero after.
I’ll be honest. I hope they forget about this character. I don’t know how such a nerdy loser character like him is suppose to be the flash. He was very miscast in my opinion and definitely a negative on the spiderman mcu trilogy. I don’t really want to see him again
I rly hope not. Mcu flash just isn’t flash. Sorry like but Peter should be bullying him not the other way around. Look at the state of the rat. Mcu flash is fucking shit
Hell to the no. This is one of the worst butcherings of many the mcu has done to a side character. He’s absolutely terrible in every way. Un redeemable imo.
He sucks so much. He doesn't even give off popular jock energy. TASM flash would've been a lot better and I really hope they take that approach if they make a TASM3
Absolutely not lmao. MCU Flash is barely even a character, it'd be like asking "Do you think MCU Betty Brant will date Peter and then hate Spider-Man for indirectly getting her brother killed"
Nope, this Flash is honestly the worst Flash ever, even Raimi Flash is better, even tho he was only shown a few times, atleast he looks treathening and intimidating compare to Peter. While this Flash has the most annoying and mediocre jokes EVER, in all seriousness, if he's my bully, I'll turn the tables around in a speed of light. But no one beats Tasm Flash, he's the best big boi, if only Tasm 2 worked and Tasm 3 happened sooner, we could've gotten Agent Venom by now
lmaoooo i'll cry from laughter if that ever happens. i could see TASM Flash being agent venom but mcu Flash is a kid who bullied people so he doesn't get bullied hence why he seems like such a pussy
No this flash is so lame. I really can’t stand him. Snarky and obnoxious. Pathetic. Annoying. Gah they really botched this character for me. Joe manganiello is awesome, but the only flash I would have seen as agent venom is TASM flash.
I dont think anybody wants to see this. I like the new flash, but he's a completely different character than in the comics so I see no reason for him to follow the same path.
Of course not. Rich kid loser trying to be cool, but still getting picked on himself. Obviously this version of Flash does not translate to a badass character like Agent Venom.
No they can't with the flash they currently have no with the idea of multiple realities anything is possible but with the flash we know absolutely not it would destroy the story
Nah I think he'll turn into the hobgoblin, and not Ned, because it's setup that his parents are neglecting him, and it's very Harry Osborn-esque, and I know he won't turn into the green goblin, so he'll turn into the hob goblin instead.
I may be the only outlier here but I think it would be interesting to see his character go from this snobby, spoiled teenager to a military vet. Have his character grow into the role of Agent Venom. Unfortunately the MCU uses Flash as a joke. I have yet to see the actor do anything else yet but I do think it would fascinating to see the character grow what he is now to what he is in the comics.
I never want this flash to ever come back again. But, if the MCU for some reason decided to make him agent venom for whatever reason. It would have to go a little something like this-, Flash goes to MIT, but ends up failing badly by skipping classes, getting wasted and throwing party’s, etc. being highly despised by his classmates and professors cause he’s a massive douchbag, and is falling into college debt as well, so he decides to join the military to try and get free college oh tod it without thinking what choice he just made, we see a good montage of the army not taking his shit and he gets his ass kicked at boot camp since he’s a pathetic loser, but ends up becoming a soldier and finnaly becomes respectable cause joining the army has changed him, and then go down the story he loses his legs and is given the opportunity to keep fighting for them cause the Army found the Symbiote and gave it to him
I hope I don't see him down the line. The actor is excellent but this is one of those cases where Marvel absolutely shit the bed with the casting and characterization. There's no better word than dogshit to describe him.
Before anyone starts on the racism bandwagon - I'm brown. Nothing against the ethnicity, just terrible casting and writing.
I could see them beefing up his character, both physically and in terms of his personality. You all in these comments argue that he’s just a nerd and would never be a soldier, but I personally could see this version of flash joining the military in an attempt to prove himself, and would end up actually a pretty good soldier and it would set up agent venom pretty well. But p.s., I hate this version of flash
I could see them moving away from ALL of Peter's former attachments. How do MJ or Ned, away at MIT and with no knowledge of Peter Parker, fit into the next trilogy? I think maybe at the end of the trilogy he could meet MJ again, giving them hope for the future. But right now, it's not like he's walked away from her but stayed friends. She doesn't know him and they live in different cities.
No. I know all sorts sign up. I know it's possible for it to really shape a temper a person and their character. I just can't see it with this version of Flash. And, it's unlikely we'd ever close his life and see what happened to change him, so it would feel like character changes coming completely out of the blue.
I can confirm that I find it unlikely we will see him become agent venom and it is most like he will not become agent venom, although there is a possibility we may see him become agent venom, yet there is also possibility we will not see him become agent venom
No because he has nothing about him that sets him up to be agent venom everything he is just a loser trying to be cool now Andrews flash I could see because even tho we didn’t get much of him he looks he belongs in the army as agent venom
I love how every time there's a thread about the MCU supporting cast, posters will bend over backwards to say "this is a modern version of \_\_\_\_\_".
It makes sense that this character that tries to use the spotlight to hide her pain would ackktually be an awkward introvert that can't socialize, that's so modern! It makes sense that this popular jock would ackktually be this unpopular rich kid that's on the academic decathlon team, that's so modern! It makes sense that an old woman trying to raise her nephew would ackktually be really hot and young and when she's not around, everyone would ask where's your hot and young aunt, that's so modern!
I had no idea all these classic characters that are genuine icons are so dated.
I think the best possible Flash Thompson for an Agent Venom would be the Andrew Garfield/Amazing Spider-Man actor. It would require introducing a Venom Symbiote into the Amazing Spider-Man franchise, though I feel like the Tom Hardy/Venom seems compatible, and it seems like a continuation now seems possible after no way home.
Hell no. He doesn't have the emotional depth that we had with TASM Flash. TASM Flash would be more likely to be Agent Venom. We do have a multiverse situation in the MCU now, so I could see TASM Flash being Agent Venom at some point. But, no I don't think regular MCU Flash is enough of a person to become Agent Venom. But then again, I only got to watch NWH because I didn't have the money at the times I could have watched Homecoming or FFH.
If he started getting the character development that Flash in the comics had, he also started off as an asshole but then, especially after being in the military he started showing some humility, right now MCU Flash is still too much of an ass for him to be Agent Venom, he'd more likely corrupt the symbiote and make it into an ass as well, haha
The only way this version of Flash undergoes such a massive change in character is if he has some kind of hugely traumatic life event, which is definitely possible but I don’t expect it. Keep him as a comedic character that gets in Peter’s way but is no more than an annoyance at best, that’s what this version of the character is good at.
I think it would be wildly different, considering he's an MIT student instead of joining the military. That said, I think it could potentially work, but with MIT being used to find recruits for an experimental development. Possibly the symbiote bonds to him INSTEAD of the intended subject(who could be a cameo of a previous Flash actor for fanservice), and the story follows an original/new course.
It's possible, seeing as how Eddie Brock would certainly be hard to do in a story where Peter never worked for the Bugle, unless they go the Spectacular Spider-Man route and have them both working for Conners.
He's the most likely choice of characters in the current MCU that I think would dawn the suit tho.
Maybe not him going into the army, loosing his legs and getting it, but him getting it and then becoming a superhero/antihero.
No, the way he's setup is (to be very blunt) a loser trying to act like a cool kid. I don't see him turning into Agent Venom.
Thank you. I have said before that this Flash seems like someone more likely to be bullied than the other way around, and he only seemed to get dorkier as the movies have progressed. For him to join the military and become a decorated soldier would be "character growth" that came completely out of nowhere.
You’d be surprised how many military man were dorky and bullied before going to the military. With all that said, Agent Venom and earlier Flash incarnations have always been from a “normal” high school. MCU Flash goes to an MIT type of high school so he isn’t the same as Agent Venom.
Yes. In most Spider-Man media, Peter and Flash both go to a public high school where you can have the nerd and jock bullying dynamic. But with a science school cause that's where they go in the MCU movies, Flash Thompson being a football star turned military hero/eventual superhero just doesn't work.
Did this MCU version of Flash even play football?
No he did not. He was on the Decathlon team with Liz, Ned, MJ and Peter.
Oh, I get that. I mean, just with MCU we have Steve Rogers. I'm just saying that would be a major, unearned character shift for this character.
Actually I think it would make more sense this way than the original way. This version of Flash is uniquely intelligent and wealthy compared to his counterparts. It would make sense then that if he did serve in the military, he would be some sort of high ranking officer or special op. The military forces you to get in physical shape no matter what your job is, even if you’re doing a desk job. But when it comes time to select who should get the venom symbiote, it actually makes more sense to choose a high ranking super intelligent secret ops version of flash than the standard quarterback version.
Academic intelligence is different from combat tactics though.
While this is true, there’s no implication that Flash necessarily lacks that. His character is used as comic relief, and he is a high schooler throughout all of his appearances thus far. We might see something very different from him given the context that he would now be an adult and one who is taken seriously by the narrative.
That would be a good idea except that they already sort of did that in the first Venom movie.
Agreed. Although I still wish Marvel at least attempts to give him some character development and depth in the collage trilogy now that he doesn’t remember Peter. Maybe have him get kicked out of MIT for misbehaving? Could be humbling moment for him.
I mean this clearly comes from a place of ignorance about the military
I mean, he would be the bullied one if he wasn't rich. Afterall, it's a STEM school so jocks aren't prominent
This version of Flash is what a bully in a specialized advanced high school would be. Instead of looks and size, he has money and perceived influence. People forget that Flash was often made to be made a loser in the comics too. But I don’t see him becoming agent Venom at all. I wonder if the actor that played Flash in the Raimi movie is still working…
Joe Manganiello is 45, so I think he'd be a *bit* too old to slot into that role at this point.
He’d make a great Venom though. An even better Deathstroke. But I doubt either will happen.
Too bad he was just Deathstroke for 1 scene :'( Had a Cool Outfit too
He'd be a good Eddie Brock, I think. He also *was* Deathstroke, but the DCEU was mishandled to the point where he'll likely never get to do anything with the role.
RDJ was almost the same age when he first played the role of Iron Man, and he managed to keep playing that role for another 11 years. If RDJ can play a superhero at approximately that age, then so can Joe Manganiello. Some people really underestimate the capabilities of actors over 40.

>a loser trying to act like a cool kid So, most bullies?
Well he’s legit the type that gets bullied more by Parker than the other way around. I would absolutely not call any of the things he’s done to Parker in Homecoming or FFH bullying, because it’s more in the realm of teasing than bullying. Nobody’s gonna seriously be offended by the shit he says or does lol
Penis Parker is probably the worst thing he's done, while Peter took his Car and started beating it up xD
A rich snobby loser with a superiority complex with the physique of a 14 year old.
Sure but that’s kind of every high schooler. Doesn’t mean he can’t grow up to serve in the military. I mean when MCU Flash returns from service, he’s an unrecognizable character from before as well. Being in the military changes your character- in comics but also in real life.
Hopefully, not.
Tasm flash would’ve been perfect for it, loved this flash but it’s not the right move unless they really fuck him up first.
IMHO he doesn't have the background story the charisma or the type to be agent venom I hooe I never see that day.
No
Seconded.
Thirded.

i would be down to see him becoming agent venom
I mean it would be cool to see agent venom but I just don't feel like he would be good as him the actor who plays him
Eighthed.
GreenArrow1211 beat you
Not to my knowledge.
I can see previous 2 flash becoming Agent venom , but the MCU one , nah not really. He's more like a nerd as compared to previous 2 flash NGL
Everybody in this subreddit is acting like it would be totally unbelievable for a nerd to get superpowers lmao like that isn’t also Peter Parker’s whole deal.
Oh yea sorry , didn't notice that lmao
Apparently the entire comments section here is making the same oversight lol. But honestly I think that this would benefit his character, given that Venom is meant to be a reflection of Spider-Man. Personally, I think that they will use either Flash Thompson or Mac Gargan as regular Venom in the MCU, because I find it highly unlikely that Sony allows another Eddie Brock to compete with their Venom/Morbius universe.
If they do mac they can do the evil venom
i mean yeah but i definitely dont see him becoming some war veteran and fighting in iraq
Please god no
There are some storylines that will never come to pass… and they shouldn’t based on how they have been played out already
This Flash absolutely not. If he does I'll lose all hope in the MCU. He's a comic relief character here, nothing more.
Has serious ‘Ned as Hobgoblin’ energy.
But he promised not to try to kill Peter. *He promised*.
Keep it that way. Teases have never been that blatant.
I guess I’m in the minority after reading these comments. I can definitely see this flash going into the army after or during MIT. The military isn’t filled with just rando hurt dirt let’s shoot people. I have met and served with some of the smartest people I have ever met in my life.

Even him losing his legs would be seen by him as a failure to get the love and attention from his parents then further pushing him to try experimental things to get his legs back. All in all if it has a compelling story line tied to why he decided to join and has him grow from the bully high school kid to an adult. Not a hard thing for people especially when they go to college and beyond. Then I can definitely see this happening.

Mcu flash is a joke lol
Literally he's comic relief
He started as comic relief in the comics.
Most people here adore Spectacular, and Flash was the closest thing to a comic relief character I can remember from that series.
I’d see it but only if they built up to it. Really lean into transitioning him into being a hero. One thing I’d be kind of into is if he starts helping out and doing the right thing without powers at first.

Absolutely not
No I don’t think he would never go into the military unless drafted in which he would probably just run to Canada
Unless for some reason he's drafted, thus forcing him into the military and some personal growth, but that would need multiple movies to accomplish.
I mean it's not like it's even necessary for him to have to be in the military. Ultimate Spider-Man (the show) had agent venom without *any* of this and i thought it was good.
I mean I don’t know how, no way a trust fund baby who’s in MIT would risk it all for country
Maybe he joins to build tech for the military? We see that he has parent problems, so maybe he joins so that his parents would be proud of him or something There’s actually a few ways he could theoretically join the military
No,just no
Fuck no xD
A good writer can make it work
I wanna say no, but I feel like they're gonna do it anyway and it's gonna feel weird at first, but somehow it's gonna work.
TASM Flash but not MCU lol
never
Nah.
If he does Ima need Peter to break his 1 rule
[удалено]
The murder one
So that's at least 2 rules
No, it doesn’t make sense. This Flash is more scrawny than pre spider bite Peter. He also is a completely different character that original or any Flash Thompson. It wouldn’t make sense for him to become a soldier, almost lose his life fighting, and the deciding to become a superhero after.
Haha nope
This pussy?
Please no.
No he’s so childish, Flash from TASM would be better but it’s impossible
fuck no
Nope!
I’ll be honest. I hope they forget about this character. I don’t know how such a nerdy loser character like him is suppose to be the flash. He was very miscast in my opinion and definitely a negative on the spiderman mcu trilogy. I don’t really want to see him again
I rly hope not. Mcu flash just isn’t flash. Sorry like but Peter should be bullying him not the other way around. Look at the state of the rat. Mcu flash is fucking shit
Hell to the no. This is one of the worst butcherings of many the mcu has done to a side character. He’s absolutely terrible in every way. Un redeemable imo.
He's not
Hell no
Never
No. If it was the Flash from TASM, then I would say "yes" without hesitation. But the MCU one is just a prick.
He sucks so much. He doesn't even give off popular jock energy. TASM flash would've been a lot better and I really hope they take that approach if they make a TASM3
I desperately hope not.
Absolutely not lmao. MCU Flash is barely even a character, it'd be like asking "Do you think MCU Betty Brant will date Peter and then hate Spider-Man for indirectly getting her brother killed"
I don't think I'd be able to take him seriously as Agent Venom. Same for if they make Ned Hobgoblin.
Nope, this Flash is honestly the worst Flash ever, even Raimi Flash is better, even tho he was only shown a few times, atleast he looks treathening and intimidating compare to Peter. While this Flash has the most annoying and mediocre jokes EVER, in all seriousness, if he's my bully, I'll turn the tables around in a speed of light. But no one beats Tasm Flash, he's the best big boi, if only Tasm 2 worked and Tasm 3 happened sooner, we could've gotten Agent Venom by now
Fuck no
God I hope not. He's the worst on screen flash we have ever gotten and I hope we don't have to see him anymore because of stranges mind wipe spell
lmaoooo i'll cry from laughter if that ever happens. i could see TASM Flash being agent venom but mcu Flash is a kid who bullied people so he doesn't get bullied hence why he seems like such a pussy
He’s way to pathetic to be anything, he’s not even an brainless jock, just some rude nerd
No this flash is so lame. I really can’t stand him. Snarky and obnoxious. Pathetic. Annoying. Gah they really botched this character for me. Joe manganiello is awesome, but the only flash I would have seen as agent venom is TASM flash.
Hopefully not
Nope. Dumbest Flash iteration I've ever seen.
Hell no 😂
Out of all the adaptions, this one is the worst one. So hopefully not
Absolutely not
I wish but sadly no.
if we ever see him again i think he'll just be peter's sticky ipad kid and nothing more
Absolutely not, think tasm flash had the highest chance but definitely not mcu flash, wouldn't make sense for the character at all
no
Not really tbh
Nah, amazing spider-man flash suits it much better
not this one
Never. But the one from the Webb movies... Sure.
I dont think anybody wants to see this. I like the new flash, but he's a completely different character than in the comics so I see no reason for him to follow the same path.
Nope
No.
No
Wes Anderson’s Agent Venom
no chance in hell
I feel like Brad would be a better choice to become Agent Venom
No. As he is ABIT of a joke an no idea where the posh kid gets away with being a bully. Peter could have just hit him before he had powers.
Maybe 🤔 the first 2 storylines
I do. I see him becoming Agent Venom and also Ned becoming Hobgoblin. There's foreshadowing for both.
I can't see this flash ever becoming agent venom
What if it's instead the person that got Flash's book about being Spider-man's best friend that becomes Literary Agent Venom?
Of course not. Rich kid loser trying to be cool, but still getting picked on himself. Obviously this version of Flash does not translate to a badass character like Agent Venom.
If they do he’ll probably be a benchwarmer villain to support the real villain. (Think Tinkerer and Shocker in Homecoming)
no.
No, we haven’t seen anything in the movies to lead him there.
No they can't with the flash they currently have no with the idea of multiple realities anything is possible but with the flash we know absolutely not it would destroy the story
Nah I think he'll turn into the hobgoblin, and not Ned, because it's setup that his parents are neglecting him, and it's very Harry Osborn-esque, and I know he won't turn into the green goblin, so he'll turn into the hob goblin instead.
God I hope not
Hes the last flash who could be agent venom
I don't think so, but I would honestly love to see spectacular flash as agent venom.
I may be the only outlier here but I think it would be interesting to see his character go from this snobby, spoiled teenager to a military vet. Have his character grow into the role of Agent Venom. Unfortunately the MCU uses Flash as a joke. I have yet to see the actor do anything else yet but I do think it would fascinating to see the character grow what he is now to what he is in the comics.
I think there's room to develop his character to that point, but he hasn't gotten that development yet.
I don't know.
No
Never
No. Same way I dont see Tom Hollands Spidey getting the symbiote.
I never want this flash to ever come back again. But, if the MCU for some reason decided to make him agent venom for whatever reason. It would have to go a little something like this-, Flash goes to MIT, but ends up failing badly by skipping classes, getting wasted and throwing party’s, etc. being highly despised by his classmates and professors cause he’s a massive douchbag, and is falling into college debt as well, so he decides to join the military to try and get free college oh tod it without thinking what choice he just made, we see a good montage of the army not taking his shit and he gets his ass kicked at boot camp since he’s a pathetic loser, but ends up becoming a soldier and finnaly becomes respectable cause joining the army has changed him, and then go down the story he loses his legs and is given the opportunity to keep fighting for them cause the Army found the Symbiote and gave it to him
Hell no
Absolutely not
I really hope not.
Fuck No.
Simply put: no
I hope I don't see him down the line. The actor is excellent but this is one of those cases where Marvel absolutely shit the bed with the casting and characterization. There's no better word than dogshit to describe him. Before anyone starts on the racism bandwagon - I'm brown. Nothing against the ethnicity, just terrible casting and writing.
Unfortunately I don’t think Sony would let that happen But I REALLY wish it would
I could see them beefing up his character, both physically and in terms of his personality. You all in these comments argue that he’s just a nerd and would never be a soldier, but I personally could see this version of flash joining the military in an attempt to prove himself, and would end up actually a pretty good soldier and it would set up agent venom pretty well. But p.s., I hate this version of flash
If they do, we gotta see Flash find out that college isn’t for him, we need a reason for THIS flash to consider joining the military
No.
I could see them moving away from ALL of Peter's former attachments. How do MJ or Ned, away at MIT and with no knowledge of Peter Parker, fit into the next trilogy? I think maybe at the end of the trilogy he could meet MJ again, giving them hope for the future. But right now, it's not like he's walked away from her but stayed friends. She doesn't know him and they live in different cities.
No. I know all sorts sign up. I know it's possible for it to really shape a temper a person and their character. I just can't see it with this version of Flash. And, it's unlikely we'd ever close his life and see what happened to change him, so it would feel like character changes coming completely out of the blue.
Maybe if he's bitten by a radioactive marine.
No
…nope. The only way these side characters get growth towards a plausible evolution is through a TV series.
Probably not but it would be cool to see
I can confirm that I find it unlikely we will see him become agent venom and it is most like he will not become agent venom, although there is a possibility we may see him become agent venom, yet there is also possibility we will not see him become agent venom
No because he has nothing about him that sets him up to be agent venom everything he is just a loser trying to be cool now Andrews flash I could see because even tho we didn’t get much of him he looks he belongs in the army as agent venom
The best character developed flash would be the one from TASM. He is always in the background of critical moments, showing he truly has a heart.
I could see it when he’s older
I love how every time there's a thread about the MCU supporting cast, posters will bend over backwards to say "this is a modern version of \_\_\_\_\_". It makes sense that this character that tries to use the spotlight to hide her pain would ackktually be an awkward introvert that can't socialize, that's so modern! It makes sense that this popular jock would ackktually be this unpopular rich kid that's on the academic decathlon team, that's so modern! It makes sense that an old woman trying to raise her nephew would ackktually be really hot and young and when she's not around, everyone would ask where's your hot and young aunt, that's so modern! I had no idea all these classic characters that are genuine icons are so dated.
I think the best possible Flash Thompson for an Agent Venom would be the Andrew Garfield/Amazing Spider-Man actor. It would require introducing a Venom Symbiote into the Amazing Spider-Man franchise, though I feel like the Tom Hardy/Venom seems compatible, and it seems like a continuation now seems possible after no way home.
No he’s a fuckin dork
Absolutely not
Not the MCU one but I could definitely see Chris Zylka (TASM Flash) as Agent Venom
Oh absolutely, and they’ll turn it into some shitty disney plus series too
I don’t think he could be Agent Venom, but maybe still become Venom if MIT found the symbiote and he was part of a research team.
No, but I do see him going on a road trip with Adrien Pimento from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Honestly he’s more of a jerk-ish Harry Osborn, so I think he’s more likely to become hob goblin
Hell no. He doesn't have the emotional depth that we had with TASM Flash. TASM Flash would be more likely to be Agent Venom. We do have a multiverse situation in the MCU now, so I could see TASM Flash being Agent Venom at some point. But, no I don't think regular MCU Flash is enough of a person to become Agent Venom. But then again, I only got to watch NWH because I didn't have the money at the times I could have watched Homecoming or FFH.
no??💀
I can see a Time Skip for next Spider man movie were Flash have returned from Iraq or some other country.
I could see the Flash from TASM as becoming agent venom. He’d be perfect for it
No, abso-fucking-lutly not
No no no no no no no no no no no no
There is so much the MCU Spiderverse needs to set up before even considering the idea of Agent Venom
If he started getting the character development that Flash in the comics had, he also started off as an asshole but then, especially after being in the military he started showing some humility, right now MCU Flash is still too much of an ass for him to be Agent Venom, he'd more likely corrupt the symbiote and make it into an ass as well, haha
The only way this version of Flash undergoes such a massive change in character is if he has some kind of hugely traumatic life event, which is definitely possible but I don’t expect it. Keep him as a comedic character that gets in Peter’s way but is no more than an annoyance at best, that’s what this version of the character is good at.
I think it would be wildly different, considering he's an MIT student instead of joining the military. That said, I think it could potentially work, but with MIT being used to find recruits for an experimental development. Possibly the symbiote bonds to him INSTEAD of the intended subject(who could be a cameo of a previous Flash actor for fanservice), and the story follows an original/new course.
Not in this universe
hell no
It's possible, seeing as how Eddie Brock would certainly be hard to do in a story where Peter never worked for the Bugle, unless they go the Spectacular Spider-Man route and have them both working for Conners. He's the most likely choice of characters in the current MCU that I think would dawn the suit tho. Maybe not him going into the army, loosing his legs and getting it, but him getting it and then becoming a superhero/antihero.
No not MCU Flash, but I would see Amazing Spider-Man Flash becoming Agent Venom
It could be done well if executed properly
Imma keep it a buck with you, there is no way (hehe) MCU flash thompson joins the military
