Reposted from @tomhardyvariations “If there was one broadly agreed takeaway from 2018’s Venom, it was that when you let Tom Hardy run loose, good things happen.”

Highlights from a new ABCNews wire story ~

“Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which [opens] Friday, extends what may be the oddest superhero series around. The dominant conflict is less about world saving and more about a very odd couple cohering in one body. 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.

Tom Hardy: “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. The masks of Eddie Brock and Venom are larger than life, but they’re ultimately two sides of the same coin.”

“When it came out, critics didn’t like it – which is fair enough – and the audience did like it. It did rather well, enough for Sony to make another one. We had to have a debrief and a wash up and say: What worked here? What didn’t work? What can we do better?”

“Putting your hat in the ring is a logical step. We asked Sony, Kelly [Marcel] and I, if we could have a shot at pitching the second movie. And they said ‘Of course.’”

On set, Hardy typically retreats to a corner to record his Venom lines, which are enhanced with a pitch-modulator. Then, while Hardy performs as Brock, Venom’s lines are played through an earpiece. Director #AndySerkis calls Hardy’s system “mesmeric” to watch. To Hardy, acting against himself has become a familiar process.

TH: “I’ve gotten used to seeing myself as a piece of meat and observing myself from outside as: What do I want to do with my vehicle? OK, Tom’s not working properly. What’s not working?”

“It may seem schizophrenic and I do appreciate that I do look mad when I’m doing it. Hopefully you see it on screen as well — the frenetic, manic nature of someone judging two personalities.”
