Tom Hardy recently shared an Instagram post which appeared to confirm that Andy Serkis was in line to helm Sony's Venom sequel, but the news has now been made official by THR and Serkis himself via Twitter.


Serkis is obviously best known as an actor, and is widely regarded as a pioneer of motion-capture performance, having brought life to the likes of LOTR's Gollum, Planet of the Apes' Caesar and The Last Jedi's Snoke. He also appeared as Ulysses Klaue in Black Panther. However, he does also have quite a bit of experience behind the camera, having served as the second unit director on The Hobbit trilogy before going on to direct Breathe and Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.

Hardy is set to reprise the role of Eddie Brock for Venom 2, which will also feature Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage.

Tell us, do you think Serkis would be a good fit for Venom 2? Sound off down below, and check out a recap of the first film's most batshit crazy moments.

Tom Hardy's Performance

Yes, the star of the movie gets his very own spot on this list, and for very good reason.

Tom Hardy's performance as Eddie Brock/Venom has been lambasted and praised in equal measure, and when you see some of the choices he makes with this character you'll likely understand why.

With his accent veering constantly between standard American and that infamous New York/Boston mumble, the Academy Award-nominated actor tears through Venom like a wild-eyed force of nature, and is by far the most memorable part of the film... for better or worse!

@MUTO123 - They had a decent director with the first one and it didn't make a difference there.

I just realized, if this does ~about~ as much as the first Venom did, give or take 5%, then it's probably gonna be the highest grossing funnybook film of 2020 lmao. Between that and Lion King, Cinema might really be a dying medium

Can't believe its getting a sequel. The first one only made 200mil domestically.
