First Look: Tom Hardy Transforms Into R-Rated Superhero In 'Venom'
Tom Hardy is replacing Topher Grace as villain turned anti-hero Eddie Brock in the upcoming film Venom.
The film, directed by Ruben Fleischer, is looking to be the next big R-rated superhero film, similar to his other movies like Deadpool and Zombieland. Tom plays the dual role of Eddie and Venom, the former is a reporter and the latter is an "alien symbiote" stuck in a human body.
The first trailer doesn't go too deep into the story or violence, but Tom is seen spending the majority of the clip lying on his back in a hospital bed with some quick flashbacks that suggests he was previously in a motorcycle accident of sorts.
"Everyone's got their thing," a voiceover says. "Maybe it's a break-up, a death, an accident. Whatever it is, you used to be one thing, now you're something else. We all have our own problems, our own issues, our own demons."
When the clip comes to a close, you start to see his transformation from Eddie into Venom, as he starts to freak out on the hospital bed where dark veins start to spiral up towards his neck.
