5 things you need to know about actor Tom Hardy and his film ‘Venom’
Actor who played British fighter pilot in ‘Dunkirk’ and title role in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ is back on big screen as a super-villain
The new fantasy science-fiction film, Venom, will soon be out in cinemas, with British actor Tom Hardy – known for playing a series of hard-core characters – in the title role.
Here are five things you need to know about the actor and the film.
1. Tom Hardy plays a good guy. Or a is he a villain?
One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex – and frankly scary characters – in coming to the big screen with the Academy Award-nominated actor Hardy as Venom.
He starts off playing Eddie Brock, a reporter who seems determined to help the world. But then something happens and Brock begins to develop superpowers ...
We all know that Venom is most notable for being a super-villain in the Marvel Comics universe, so for this origin story we are expecting to see a “good-guy-gone-bad” kind of villain with understandable, yet still despicable motives.
2. ‘Venom’ is Marvel, but also Sony?
Although the character of Venom is most known as one of Spider-Man’s biggest foes and is therefore a Marvel comic book character, the film rights are actually owned by Sony.
