Post-credit scenes, at least as they exist in our modern-day superhero-soaked landscape, tend to be for the diehards, those who know these worlds beyond what’s presented in the films. That doesn’t change with the mid-credits stinger of Venom, which officially hits theaters today. In the scene, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock…
A stand-alone movie starring extreme Spider-Man opponent Venom looks, from a distance, like a beacon of ’90s nostalgia, addressing that era’s tendencies to go big and fan-baiting in its comics yet weirdly small and chintzy in its comics-based movies. (At least those that don’t feature Batman.) But as it turns out,…
Sony’s new slime monster epic Venom arrives in theaters this Friday, which means its stars are currently out doing the promotional rounds, trying to drum up business, and hopefully avoid saying or doing anything that might hurt the movie’s chances. Like, say, telling an interviewer that all of their favorite parts of…
Tom Hardy is currently on a press tour for Venom, a movie about a violent, toothy comic book character who is creepy to some, deeply erotic to others. Naturally, the best way to interview him in relation to this film, which does not seem suitable for children, is to have a bunch of children ask him questions.
So far, the trailers for Venom have been careful not to give away too much sweet symbiote action, with the earliest teaser being so light on actual Venom content that some fans were worried that the movie itself would never even show the eponymous monster, but now Sony has released a 30-second clip that’s all about…
With modern Hollywood’s famous aversion to sequels and reboots, it can be frustrating for fans of a movie to be left wondering if they’ll ever get more of the thing they like. Luckily, the Venom fans who watched the first trailer millions of times and who told everyone about how horny they are for Tom Hardy’s…
Topher Grace recently stopped just shy of admitting that Tom Hardy’s Venom from Venom will be better than his Venom from Spider-Man 3, but maybe the secret to Hardy’s apparent success is the eclectic influences he kept in mind while coming up with his take on the goopy, brain-eating, Marvel villain. In a profile from Esquire
We’re deep enough into the world of superhero movies that we’ve had multiple recognizable actors play the same characters in different movies, so it must be a little weird for, say, the old Fantastic Four cast to see the new Fantastic Four cast (we know that nobody saw the new Fantastic Four, but that’s beside the…
The internet really liked the last Venom trailer, at least partly because of just how damn fiiiine that slimy bastard is, and this morning Sony finally released a new trailer for the film after teasing it at a Comic-Con panel last Saturday. The first trailer made you wait right up until the end in order to see Tom…
Venom is a very popular comic book character, since he has all of the web-slinging abilities of Spider-Man but also his suit is black and he likes to murder people (two things that some weird comic book fans really love), so it’s not surprising that the first trailer for the Venom movie with Tom Hardy has been…
The first teaser for Tom Hardy’s Venom, which may or may not have anything to do with the Spider-Man movies, refused to give any real indication that it was about the beloved Marvel villain/antihero until the title reveal, stopping just short of actually showing Venom’s face. Fans were so disappointed by the tease…
We haven’t gotten to see what Tom Hardy will look like when the black symbiote takes over in Venom and turns him into the eponymous murder monster/antihero, but Hardy seems to be chronicling a more disturbing transformation over on his Instagram. Last month, we reported that he had shared the first photo of himself in…
After the grim reception of his Fantastic Four movie and the collapse of his Star Wars spin-off, director Josh Trank has returned to lower-budget filmmaking with Fonzo, a movie starring Tom Hardy as an aging Al Capone in the early stages of dementia. We first heard about the project back in 2016, but now Hardy himself…
Early glimpses of Ruben Fleischer and Sony’s Venom movie have focused on Tom Hardy as a pre-Symbiote-fused Eddie Brock, who only wrestles with demons in his handsome journalist form. The ferocious fusion is one of the notable elements missing in this Spider-Man spin-off (the other being our friendly neighborhood…
Back in November, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Prince William, Prince Harry, singer Gary Barlow, and actor Tom Hardy would all be making cameos as stormtroopers in The Last Jedi. However, when the film premiered, the foursome of overtly British First Order foot soldiers were nowhere to be seen. As it turns…
Our well-documented criticisms of celebrity statues include a call for greater accuracy, so we don’t end up with a Cristiano Ronaldo bust that looks like its face is sliding off. But that isn’t our only beef with these life-size tributes (though it was the case with this Lady Gaga monstrosity). Sometimes the effort to…
Ruben Fleischer’s Venom movie is still in production, which could explain why the first teaser for Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off is made up of just the basic parts of the villain turned anti-hero’s story.
Being famous doesn’t preclude you from making bad life decisions. That’s a lesson Tom Hardy learned the hard way when he bet his Revenant co-star Leonardo DiCaprio that he wouldn’t be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at that year’s Academy Awards. Apparently, DiCaprio had more faith in his co-star’s acting ability…
In a 2011 interview with the BBC, Tom Hardy admitted that he tried to launch a career as a rapper when he was a teenager, explaining that it “was a very hard sell” because he came “from a nice middle-class neighborhood” and because he “wasn’t very good.” He claimed to have recorded “loads of stuff” with legitimate…
Ruben Fleischer’s Venom movie may currently be filming in San Francisco, but some of the production details remain hazy. We do know Tom Hardy’s leading the movie alongside co-stars Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate, as well as Riz Ahmed and Woody Harrelson. Carnage is definitely the bad guy, but whether or not any of…
