Hardy is also a producer, a first for him on a feature film. Hardy also took a hand in shaping the follow-up he and Kelly Marcel (co-writer of “Venom”) are credited with the film’s story. This time, he sought out Serkis, the actor-director best known for his extensive work in motion capture performance, to follow the original’s director, Ruben Fleischer. On the first “Venom,” the actor has said some 30 minutes of scenes were left on the cutting-room floor.
“We had to have a debrief and a wash up and say: What worked here? What didn’t work? What can we do better?”įor the sequel, Hardy took firmer control. It did rather well, enough for Sony to make another one,” says Hardy. “When it came out, critics didn’t like it - which is fair enough - and the audience did like it. Venom is a relatively marginal Marvel character the movies, Serkis says, are “swimming in the darker end of the Marvel pool.” But even though reviews weren’t very good, the film was a hit, grossing $856 million worldwide. In the dependable realm of superhero movies, the first “Venom” was somewhat of a risk. “The masks of Eddie Brock and Venom are larger than life, but they’re ultimately two sides of the same coin.” “What’s thrilling is to be able to delve through the human psyche and the paradox of the human condition and play them in a farcical, superhero action thriller,” says Hardy, speaking by phone from London.
And given that the two lead parts are played by the same actor, it’s the comic-book film most centered on an actor’s freewheeling performance. The dominant conflict is less about world saving and more about a very odd couple cohering in one body.

“Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which Sony will release in theaters Friday after a year’s delay due to the pandemic, extends what may the oddest superhero series around. “That tone was what everyone universally agreed was the epicenter of this world,” says Andy Serkis, director of the sequel “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” “That is precisely the touchstone moment for where we started off with this.”
