Tom Hardy Is Your New Venom
One of the more confusing and intriguing recent developments in our ongoing Superhero Boom has been Sony’s development of their own cinematic universe based on Spider-Man characters … but without Spider-Man in it. They own the rights to those figures, but they’re co-producing Spidey sagas set in the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe, so the webslinger himself can’t be part of a new, self-contained mythology at Sony. They’re doing the next-best thing by having their own little world that centers around longtime Spider-Man supporting player Venom, and word has come down today that Tom Hardy will be playing him (and his alter ego, Eddie Brock) in 2018’s eponymous Venom. Ruben Fleischer of Zombieland will be directing. This will be Hardy’s return to the superhero genre after his muffled turn as Bane in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, and it’s certainly a coup for Sony to grab such a beloved star, but the question remains: Will people see a Spider-flick that doesn’t have the original wall-crawler in it? If anyone can do it, it’s Tom, who is bald now:

They could always extend it(which I think Sony would be stupid not to considering they ****ed up the ending of the Maguire trilogy, and ****ed up Amazing Spider-Man). |

This is unrelated to the film series, but I'm pumped for the new Sony Spiderman game coming to PS4.

Oh no doubt. I hope I'm wrong as well. Cause Venom is such a dope character but it looks so cringeworthy .
For one, Hardy doesn't strike me as an investigative reporter . He looks like a rugby hooligan/meathead so I just can't take it that seriously( and his accent is all over the map lol) . |

The movie looks ok...Venom looks cool at the end of the trailer. Speaking of Venom...the new #1 issue was great and I've never read Venom.

Ok... so that looks pretty terrible. Wtf is up with the terrible sound editing for his broken dialogue at the start of the trailer? You can hear the breaks in the audio where they cut and spliced his words together. Also, is Hardy shit faced the entire movie?
On the positive side, I do like that he doesn't have a shite spider on him. That is at least logical, and now that FOX no longer owns Venom's rights, I suppose we may see a crossover in the future.

Looks better than it looked in the 1st trailer. But yeah, in 2018, they could do better.

The CGI looks better. But the scenes with Venom talking still look pretty goofy. I do really like how they're portraying the symbiote to instinctively protect Brock and stuff. I've also heard that Venom bites somebody's head off during the movie. Which is nice...
