Venom: First Look At Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock
Thanks to IGN, we have gotten our first look at Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, aka the man that becomes Venom!
Check it out:
Okay… so it’s not a very exciting first look photo, but, as IGN notes, it does tell us some things about the character.
First, it appears that Hardy’s Brock is indeed a reporter, just like his comic book counterpart. This would appear to bely rumors and theories that the film will take a cue from the Venom character’s later incarnation which found the alien symbiote weaponized and turned longtime Spider-Man supporting character Flash Thompson into a super-soldier.
This is the first movie to expand the Spider-Man universe outside of Peter Parker, actually, Tom Holland isn’t expected to appear at all in the film.
Venom also stars Jenny Slate, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed.
The movie is set to hit screens Oct. 5.
