The first set photo from the upcoming Venom movie with Tom Hardy was posted almost two weeks ago, but now, the actor has shared a new photo, celebrating two weeks of filming:

Hopefully, we’ll see what Hardy looks like as Venom soon. The character’s creator, Todd McFarlane, told us last month that he thinks the actor will do a good job:
“It’ll be interesting. I’ve seen some movies of his where he can bring anger and a wide personality to it. To me, I think Tom Hardy’s going to be as good as whatever Venom looks like. We all know Tom’s going to act. He’s going to do a good job. So now what’s Venom gonna’ look like? It’s an R-rated movie, how “R” are they going to go? To me, that’s the question. Are they going to go a “little bit R”? Venom’s a monster to me, and to me – are they going to make him a monster or are they going to make him a man? Are they going to humanize him? That’s what we gotta’ find out.”
While the film won’t be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s rumored to follow the popular Lethal Protector storyline from the comics, so it could still be the Venom movie fans have been waiting to see – though the film won’t feature Spider-Man according to Kevin Feige:
“No, I think they’re focusing on making a great Venom movie, and I don’t know much about it, but I know they’re off to a good start with Tom Hardy.”
Here’s hoping the film is what we’d all expect it to be for such a popular character – and won’t be what we were given in 2007’s Spider-Man 3.
