There's been a ton of rumors in the world of superhero films recently. Things started with leaks that James Wan's
Aquaman movie had very strong test screening scores, only for those reports to more recently have been refuted.
Fandom attention then turned to
Deadpool 2, which reportedly had a disastrous early test screening, only for film sites to quickly refute those claims, citing insider sources claiming the film scored in the 90s and only suffered from a Mandarin-esque
Iron Man 3 twist.
The latest rumor concerns Tom Hardy's
Venom movie, which reportedly featured very little of Tom Hardy sporting the anti-hero's full costume. This rumor appeared to have a little more solid backing as Sony's first trailer for the film didn't feature any shots of Hardy in the symbiote-based costume, leading to some fans to joke that Sony made, "
Tom Hardy: The Movie."
Well, take a look at Hardy's Instagram post from a few hours ago. He makes mention of "asinine myths" circulated by those who don't have "credible intel." That certainly reads like an esoteric debunking.
