If you were to compile a list of actors you’d expect to sign up to star in a Marvel superhero movie, Tom Hardy would probably come in at about number 46 – just behind Daniel Day-Lewis. But this is Tom Hardy we’re talking about and Venom is no ordinary comic book hero.
“There’s that biting-off-heads issue, which is not what you would expect from, say, Captain America taking down a crook,” laughs the actor. Hardy describes the movie, out this month, as “dark, edgy and dangerous” which also serves as a pretty accurate description of how many movie fans see the actor.
