Before the modern era of superhero movies, it was unthinkable for performers like Michael Keaton — who played Batman in two Tim Burton-directed films — to return to the big screen as a Marvel characte
r. That’s largely because Marvel movies were rarely a big deal before the turn of the century. Since the launch of the MCU in 2008, Keaton, and his Batman successor, Christian Bale, have both crossed over to Marvel . Yet, neither of the two Batmen have had the impact in Marvel ’s realm that Tom Hardy has had as Venom .
Recommended Videos When considering the answer to that question, it should be remembered that Hardy is actually playing two roles in the Venom movies, since he portrays both Eddie Brock and voices the Venom symbiote in the Venom movies. Additionally, the vast majority of comic book movie fans may not be aware that Venom was Spider-Man’s greatest adversary before his popularity convinced Marvel to turn him into an antihero.
Physicality Tom Hardy is generally in good physical condition in his films, but he’s rarely bulked up to superhuman proportions in the way he did for The Dark Knight Rises. Bane was introduced in the comics as one of the few villains who could physically dominate Batman in a fight, and he even broke Bruce Wayne’s back in their initial throwdown. Hardy’s physique in the film gave Bane the credibility he needed even before his version of the character mopped the floor with Bale’s Dark Knight.
There’s not a lot of depth to Bane, but there was a lot for Hardy to explore in the Venom movies. Eddie is a journalist who wrecked his career and his relationship with his fiancée, Anne Weying , early in the first film. So the audience sees Eddie at his lowest before he’s bonded with Venom, which changes the course of both of their lives. The trilogy is the exploration of that bond and the ups and downs of the friendship they shared.
