    Tom Hardy On Playing Venom: I Wanted To Do Something My Son Could Watch

    San Diego, Actor Tom Hardy has played the villain in 'Venom' and the actor has a strong reason behind it. Hardy is not just a good actor but also a great father who fulfilled the wish of his son. The motive of playing Venom was to make a movie for his son.

    "My son is a massive Venom fan, and he was a strong influence on me why I should play Venom specifically. I wanted to do something my son could watch," Hardy said, noting he is often aggressive and violent in his films. So I did something where I bite people's heads off," quipped Hardy at the Comic-Con, where he and director Ruben Fleischer also said they would love to see Tom Holland's Spider-Man face off against the anti-hero.

    Moreover, 'Venom' also stars Woody Harrelson, Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate and Scott Haze. At Comic-Con, the team showed off new footage, which Fleischer stressed still had some VFX work to do. The footage revealed that Venom will face off against another symbiote in the movie. Fleischer later said this was Riot, a symbiote who can transfer to other people, so you never know who it will be in the film. Apart from Venom, There will be other villains could be in the movie."

    'Venom' is one of several films Sony is using to build what it hopes will be a shared universe based on Spider-Man characters it holds the movie rights to. So far, there are no plans to have Venom face off against Spider-Man, who is played by Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fleischer, however, said he would love to see Venom and Spider-Man in a movie together.
