If you weren't excited before, you may want to change your tune as Sony Pictures has just announced that The Dark Knight Rises' star Tom Hardy has signed on to play the title role in Venom!

ZOMBIELAND's Ruben Fleischer To Direct


ETA: Per Variety

quote:

Michelle Williams is in talks to star opposite Tom Hardy in Sony’s “Venom” movie.

Riz Ahmed is also on board with Ruben Fleischer directing.

Sources say Williams would play a district attorney and possibly Hardy’s love interest. Sony had no comment on the casting.


They're putting together a good cast

Is venom known for mumbling?

With Tom Holland's Spiderman looking to be the real deal, this couldn't be better news. I loved McGuire's Spiderman, but Holland's is even more true to the character for me. Hardy is just a force these days.

For me this is bittersweet news. Tom Hardy is an incredible casting and Venom is one of the GOAT villains/anti-heroes, but this just pisses me off more that he's not part of the MCU. Will definitely still watch though.

Ruben Fleischer has been a big swing and a miss outside of Zombieland.

I didn't read the thread title. All I know is after reading the two words "Tom Hardy", that ought to tell you I'm way in.

This is also bittersweet. Pretty much means he is out as Bond if Craig does not reprise his role. No way he can do both in the next two years. Bond takes a major commitment.

Thinking of the wrong character. Hardy is great in everything he does. Really enjoyed Legend recently.

That is fantastic casting. Lightyears better than Topher Grace for sure. Hardy has the build, look, and acting chops to know this role out of the park.

The only thing I don't like is this won't be part of the MCU where it belongs
