The first look at Tom Hardy as Venom in the upcoming Venom movie has leaked online – and I have to say, as a long time fan of the Marvel character, it looks pretty awesome! I was pretty worried by the initial first trailer for the film, but I can now say that I’m a lot less worried. Given this is Sony, you can’t ever tell, but I’m now more excited for this one.
Check out the leaked footage below:

As far as plot details for the movie, we don’t have any yet, but when we do, we’ll get them to you. We know that the storyline is supposed to follow the Lethal Protector comic books, which would make it more along the lines of Venom being an anti-hero, rather than a villain. With Carnage slated to appear, that’s looking very likely.
Who knows? If Venom does well, we could even possibly see Sony go very deep into a Spider-Man Universe, which could feature an adaptation of the Maximum Carnage storyline. That would be pretty cool to see, anyway. We all know the MCU isn’t going to be going into R-Rated territory any time soon, so here’s hoping Sony doesn’t mess this up.
Venom hits theaters everywhere on October 5th.
