A recently released behind-the-scenes video has offered insight into Tom Hardy's intense training regimen, along with a few clues as to what Marvel fan's can expect when we see the actor transform into an "8'4" beast" on the big screen. In the film, Hardy plays Eddie Broke, the man who accidentally bonds with the alien symbiote and becomes Venom. Not much is known about the movie's plot, but Hardy's trainers sure do know how to get us hyped for the character which they claim is going to be "one of the darkest, most powerful super-villains that Marvel has ever created."

As revealed in the video below, Hardy is undergoing MMA and kickboxing sessions five days a week, and sometimes twice a day to prepare for the physical aspects of the role. His trainers, Mark Mene and Nathan Jones, have a lot of positive things to say about the actor's dedication to the role and what he'll bring to the iconic Marvel character.

"I'm impressed. He's definitely going to live up to the character," Mene says. "He's dealing with a guy that turns into an 8-foot, 4 [inch] beast."

Jones adds, "He's got power. I like that. I like that he's got that fire in him because he's not just acting. He's really got it, and it's good to see someone have it because then they'll live the character and that should come across."

Check out the full behind-the-scenes video below and be sure to let us know what you think of Hardy's transformation into the role of Venom.



Sony recently kicked off production on Venom, which is expected to hit theaters October 5, 2018.

@JohnnyTBP - Pfft! Something tells me that you were lobbying for Sony's crap from the start.

Nothing about this Non-MCU Spidey-verse sounds legit!

@Starscream24 - But the Spidey movies are set in the MCU. Feige never said they weren't. He only said that they aren't including Venom in any of the Disney-made films.

@rabid - Stop! Just stop typing... Pascal was forced to clarify a few days later. This B.S. has nothing to do with MCU.

@Starscream24 - Not true. If you think so, then find a quote stating so.

@rabid - You're the one living in ignorance. Do some research before you type. Meanwhile I'm not giving this crap a dime next year or any year.

@Starscream24 - Just as I figured. You couldn't find a quote because there isn't one. The idea that these movies aren't set in the same reality as Avengers was just invented rumor by clickbait bloggers.

@rabid - Just as I thought. A simple troll. Sad...

I don't buy into all this expanded Spidey universe by Fox. I would rather see season 2 of Taboo to be honest.

Guys, I'm telling you. There's no Venom movie.

This is all just a prank that has gotten out of hand.

If it doesn't turn out to be set in the MCU, I'm not interested.
