Hardy's television roles include the HBO war drama mini-series Band of Brothers (2001), the BBC historical drama mini-series The Virgin Queen (2005), Bill Sikes in the BBC's mini-series Oliver Twist (2007), Heathcliff in ITV's Wuthering Heights (2009), the Sky 1 drama series The Take (2009), and as Alfie Solomons in the BBC crime drama series Peaky Blinders (2014–2022).

He has appeared in three Christopher Nolan films: Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) as Bane, and Dunkirk (2017).

After studying acting at the Drama Centre London, he made his film debut in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (2001). It’s also worth pointing out that Venom’s director, Ruben Fleischer, has made better films before: His debut was the rather delightful 2009 Zombieland, starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Emma Stone, before she was superstar.Edward Thomas Hardy CBE (born 15 September 1977) is an English actor, producer and screenwriter. So if that means anything to you, there’s that. It should also be noted that Venom isn’t strictly part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but rather an MCU offshoot produced by Sony. There’s no rhyme nor reason to any of it. You will have to ignore the fact that sometimes the symbiotes kill their hosts, sometimes they just use them temporarily and then jump out, and sometimes they move in and stay for good.

There are some cool special effects: The symbiotes in search of hosts, encased in glass-walled medical-type containers, are glittery blue-gray blobs that look like an unholy alliance of slime mold and those toys where you use a magnet to move iron-shavings around to create facial hair on a bald cartoon gent. There’s also a sloppily photographed and edited car-and-motorcycle chase, with vehicles moving fast but also illogically. If or when you see Venom, you will witness a messy, not very interesting battle between Venom and another, more malevolent symbiote. And he half-likes, half-pities his new host Brock, so he’s happy to help him do stuff-like get his girlfriend back. Venom isn’t really evil he’s more like the id come to life. His permanent grin consists of multiple rows of very pointy teeth now and then a long, slithery tongue pokes through.

(Hardy also supplies Venom’s voice.) Sometimes Venom is inside Brock, but you can’t see him-you only hear him giving orders or making witty declarations: “Hungry!” “On my planet, I am a loser, just like you!” And sometimes Venom inhabits Brock fully, transforming him into a towering specimen of a man, with glistening obsidian skin and elongated eyes the color of egg whites. Brock falls apart.īut things perk up for Brock when his already pretty buff bod is overtaken by Venom, a crabby but somewhat principled symbiote who makes his wishes known in a subterranean growl. Anne is implicated in Brock’s journalistic shenanigans and loses her job. But Brock loses his job when he digs a little too deeply into the inner workings of the Life Foundation, a bioengineering company run by Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), an affable genius who’s busy importing “symbiotes” from outer space, life forms that he hopes to meld with human beings for God-knows-what reason.
#Tom hardy marvel tv
Hardy’s Brock is an appealing, swaggering TV journalist who investigates homelessness, icky landfills and other injustices he’s a regular guy who wears hoodies and lots of braided bracelets, and he has a smart, beautiful lawyer girlfriend, Anne (Michelle Williams). You could do worse, though, than spend an hour or two with Hardy as, first, investigative journalist Eddie Brock and, later, as the human host of an extraterrestrial being known as Venom.
