Tom Hardy Brings Venom to Life in New Featurette

Tom Hardy brings Venom to life in new featurette
Sony Pictures and IGN have released a brand new featurette for the upcoming Marvel film Venom featuring Tom Hardy and the special effects crew coming together to bring the titular symbiote to life onscreen. Because of Tom’s familiarity with special effects, he knows exactly what is required in order to give the team plenty to work with in post. Make sure you watch the featurette below and let us know your thoughts.

Tom Hardy stars in the upcoming feature film as Eddie Brock, the host for Venom. Joining him in the film are Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman), Riz Ahmed (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Jenny Slate (Zootopia), Scott Haze, Reid Scott and Woody Harrelson (the Hunger Games franchise, True Detective).

Venom will hail from Sony’s Marvel Universe of characters and will not be a spinoff of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe, wherein Sony allows Spider-Man to be played by Tom Holland. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing along with Amy Pascal, with Palak Patel and Eric Fineman overseeing for Columbia Pictures.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) and written by Scott Rosenberg (Pain & Gain, Jumanji) & Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), the Venom film is set for an October 5, 2018 release date.

First appearing in the comic book series as an alien costume worn by Spider-Man in Marvel‘s The Amazing Spider-Man #252 in 1984, it was several years before the creature left Peter Parker and merged with photographer Eddie Brock, forming the antihero known as Venom. Since then, the character has appeared in a variety of different forms and bonded with several different hosts. In the “Ultimate” Marvel Universe, the suit has a more terrestrial origin, created by Parker and Brock’s scientist parents in an attempt to cure cancer. More recently, the Venom symbiote has been moving between hosts, including Mac Gargan (aka The Scorpion) and Peter Parker’s old high school rival, Flash Thompson.

Sony currently has plans to give films to other Spidey characters, with Jackpot, Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter and Silver Sable all candidates to get their own movie. Morbius the Living Vampire already has Jared Leto lined up for the title role.

New Venom Clip Brings Symbiotic Violence

New Venom Clip Brings Symbiotic Violence
Sony just released a new Venom clip that shows not only Eddie Brock’s awesome transformation into the alien symbiote, but also over 30 seconds of the iconic villain in action. Check it out in the player down below.

In the clip, Brock (Tom Hardy) is cornered by a SWAT team, and he looks like he has been through hell and back. After giving the squad a warning that they definitely don’t want to mess with him, he lets Venom take over. Then, we get our first clear look at the character in action. It looks like director Ruben Fleischer is staying incredibly true to the Venom character. In battle, he uses his tentacles, the symbiote shifts to absorb incoming projectiles, and it gives Brock the ability to leap large heights and distances, as well as intimidating brute power. Visually, Venom looks fantastic and the transformation process looks as though it jumped right off the page of the comics.

Set to hit theaters next month, Venom stars Tom Hardy as both Eddie Brock and the title character. While the team decided not to use motion capture, Hardy provides the voice for Venom, bringing a more believable concept to the “voices” in his head that the symbiote so graciously provides. Recently it was confirmed that the film would receive a PG-13 rating, much to fan dismay hoping that it would be rated R following in the success of other hyper-violent Marvel films Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan.

Venom debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #300 back in 1988 and he has since become one of Spider-Man’s greatest foes. More recent versions of the character have made him more of an antihero with his own line of comics. Venom was previously brought to the big screen by director Sam Raimi in Spider-Man 3. Topher Grace (That 70’s Show) portrayed Eddie Brock, but the character was shoved into a stuffed movie with two other villains and wasn’t given the screen time he deserved.

This new adaptation puts the entire focus on the villain, but Sony has said that Spider-Man is not a part of the film. Hardy did confirm that he is contracted for at least three Venom films so there is a chance that we might see our current Spider-Man (played by Tom Holland) face off against him in the future.

Venom rampages into theaters on Friday, October 5. What did you think about this Venom clip? Let us know in the comment section!
