Deadpoolwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are operose at body of work upgrade their next film , the R - rated sci - fi thrillerLifestarring Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal . On the surface , Liferepresents a departure from the superhero thrills and irreverent   humor that madeDeadpoola Brobdingnagian worldwide winner for the writing duo ; tell an original story of an International Space Station crowd that find out the first alien life form beyond Earth , it seems to be a totally standalone adventure . That is , unless , an interesting raw devotee theory is to be believe .

There is an musical theme float around on the internet thatLifeisactually a underground prequel toVenom ,   an approaching picture establish on the   popularSpider - Manvillain . The hypothesis picked up steam onReddit , where a user noticed footage similar toSpider - Man 3hiding inone ofLife’strailers . The symbiote organism , which finds its means to Earth and take over the body of Eddie Brock in theSpider - Mancomics , could be the alien organism discovered inLife- making the possibility an challenging one forSpider - Manfans , to say the least . What ’s even more intriguing is that the writers wo n’t   totally rule out any link .

Speaking toComicBook.comat a recent imperativeness case to promoteLife , the writers were reportedly“reluctant”to decree out any ties betweenLifeand the Venom film , joking about the theory :

Wernick : Yes , the answer is yes ! We are tied toVenom ! We are   the prequel toVenom !

Reese : We wrote aVenomscreenplay , so I think people saw that connection . They also saw theSpider - Man 3footage that sneaked its means into our last trailer . They just announced aVenommovie release date just yesterday .

Wernick : All of the sudden , someone ’s out there going , ' Bing ! Lightbulb ! '

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

But despite the author ’ equivocalness on the Venom prequel hypothesis , studio White House at Sony are apparently more critical . Colliderreported on Saturday that the studio adamantly deny any connection betweenLifeand the fresh Venom film . That say , in alater audience with the internet site , managing director Daniel Espinosa was asked about the possibility and declined to comment specifically on it .

Even if Reese and Wernick categorically denied any connective betweenLifeand Venom , the sheer fact thatthey wrote a Venom scriptcould keep the rooter theory alive until Life formally hits theaters ; it ’s no secret that both the writers and theater director ofLifehave a rich   chemical attraction for comic books and superhero characters , and conversely there is not much love about the being that the blank post bunch discover inLife .   Indeed , in the CB consultation , the writers come up with their own idea for how it could work , agreeing it would make a right prequel .

Of course , it ’s extremely potential that Reese and Wernick were just playing around in their interviews ; they simply bang that their new film is probably better off with this notion hanging out there rather than thoroughly debunked . As fun a theory as it is , it is ultimately just that : a hypothesis .
