Tom Hardy embraces his inner antihero and finally shows off his killer grimace.
After originally releasing a vague and rather underwhelming first trailer, Sony Pictures now brings us our first proper look at Spider-Man’s most popular villain. Although this Venom doesn’t seem to be such a bad dude, the studio certainly doesn’t want any audience confusion regarding the morality of their title character. We can’t root for a serial killer, but we can cheer on a creature dispatching devious scientists and their experiments running wild through the streets of San Francisco.
Climaxing the monster showcase with “Embrace your inner antihero” aligns Tom Hardy‘s struggle with cinematic folk heroes like Leon: The Professional or even Zach Snyder’s Batman. What’s wrong with a little branding when the bad guys are so gosh-darn despicable? The antihero doesn’t want to kill, but circumstances make it a necessity. Plus, our protagonist here is desperately fighting off an alien infection hungry for human meat.
