Tom Hardy seems to be going full Tom Hardy in this one.
The official synopsis for VENOM:
One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.
While Sony doesn’t necessarily have an excellent track record with comic book films outside Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, the prospect of Tom Hardy playing the character of Eddie Brock/Venom alone has proved to be enough to pique (yes, that’s how it should be spelled) fan’s interest. And this latest trailer is yet another step in the right direction.
While I had very little hopes for this movie being a success, every passing trailer gives me a little more hope.

VENOM is the first film in Sony’s Marvel Universe, which is entirely separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Similar to Universal’s failed “Dark Universe”, the success of VENOM will likely determine whether or not Sony forges forward with that plan.
VENOM will be released in theaters on October 10, 2018.
