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…
Human sexuality is incredibly complicated and, as long as everything’s consensual and between adults, it’s nobody’s place to cast aspersions on its many complex, surprising expressions. Nothing tests this belief more thoroughly or often than the internet, an incredible invention that has not only forever changed how…
The full trailer for Tom Hardy’s Venom wasn’t great, both because the monster himself looks kinda goofy and because Jenny Slate is definitely pronouncing symbiote wrong, but the internet works in mysterious ways and so what may look goofy to us may also look real good to you. As noticed by Uproxx, Polygon, and The…
Last night saw the debut of the first full trailer for Venom, showing off the most twisted, horrid creation yet to enter the comic-book movie universe: Jenny Slate’s pronunciation of “symbiote.”
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…
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…
Despite no longer actually having Spider-Man around, now that he’s off hanging out with Tony Stark, Sony continues to build out the Spider-Man cinematic universe, because what’s better than a world built around everyone but the character who made that world exist in the first place?
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.
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…
Star Tom Hardy recently confirmed that the Venom movie he’s starring in will be based on the Lethal Protector miniseries from the ‘90s in which longtime Spider-Man villain Venom—the Eddie Brock flavor, for people who know the different Venoms—briefly moves to San Francisco and becomes an anti-hero. Now, we know one…
According to Variety, Jenny Slate is “in negotiations” to join director Ruben Fleischer’s Venom, the Spider-Man spin-off that probably won’t have any actual Spider-Men in it. Assuming it all works out, Slate will be playing “a scientist,” which probably means she won’t get a chance to bond with the eponymous Venom…
While Marvel and Sony work out the particulars of a Spider-Man guest appearance in any Venom films, production on the movie that will star Tom Hardy as the titular anti-villain is moving forward. In addition to rumors of newly-minted Emmy winner Riz Ahmed joining the cast, Variety reports that Michelle Williams has…
Deadpool and the Venom symbiote have met in the past, but they didn’t have James Stokoe drawing their first adventure together in last year’s Deadpool: Back In Black. The visionary cartoonist behind the hyper-detailed fantasy epic Orc Stain has worked on a number of one-shots and short stories for Marvel in the last…
Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off, Venom, is preparing to add another up-and-coming name to its roster; according to The Hollywood Reporter, Rogue One co-star Riz Ahmed is in talks to appear opposite Tom Hardy, who’s playing the titular symbiote. There’s no word yet on who Ahmed would play in the movie, although he won’t be…
Marvel and Sony have been in a bit of a back-and-forth lately, primarily over the latter’s plans to launch a new comic book movie franchise based off of Spider-Man anti-villain Venom. (The thinking, presumably, being that while Sony gave Peter Parker back to Marvel so that he could play around in the MCU, there’s no…
Tom Hardy’s Venom movie might be connected to the new Spider-Man universe in some way, but it seems extremely unlikely that Spidey himself will be the main antagonist in the film. After all, it’s supposed to be a solo spinoff, not a straight-up Spider-Man movie, so anything more than a cameo would probably be too…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe seems like a tightly controlled machine, with every part working in accordance with every other part, but that is absolutely not the case when you factor in anything that is tangentially connected to the MCU, like the Netflix shows or the new Spider-Man universe that Sony is launching…
