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:

Yeah, I like his lines but the delay of his mouth from the words coming out is pretty distracting. It almost seems like they're rushing trailers to keep interest up right after Comic Con and during the months between now and October.

Way to go, sony.
You have managed to **** up an almost impossible to **** up project.. Bravo.......No, really. Awesome job. Really could have pulled it off too, but how do you take Spider-Man out of Venom? You don't. |

After the success of Deadpool I would think they would get a little more leeway with the ratings from the studios.

I just can't take Tom Hardy seriously as an action star after finding out that he got KTFO'd by Shia LaBeouf.

Starting to hear whispers this isn’t very good. Curious whys there’s still a review embargo?
Not looking too promising

I'll still go see it, it's Venom and looks pretty true to character. I could care less if it boils down to a big CGI monster fight at the end, if the romantic angle isnt there between him and her, if the dialogue is terrible or the CGI isn't polished up enough... it's Venom lol just like I went and saw The Predator... it's the Predator.

This will probably be a rental for me, unfortunately. My wife isn't interested in the slightest to see this and I don't generally go see movies by myself.

Eh. As long as it's not connected to the Tom Holland Spiderman not really interested. From the sounds of it no Carnage either.

Word is they did a drastic re-cut from the R rated version (which was the only reason Hardy signed up for it). Looks like a typical early 2000's superhero flick. Sony still doesn't get it.
