Tom Hardy is Grateful For Both DC & Marvel Movie Roles

Tom Hardy is quite grateful to have roles in both Marvel and DC movies , now that he ’s portrayed Bane inThe Dark Knight Risesand Eddie Brock in this fall’sVenomsolo film . The actor likewise ( jestingly ) identifies as being a"mercenary"who has no stake in the so - shout rivalry between the two comic book giants .

An Oscar - candidate , Hardy has carved out a ecological niche for himself as a lineament histrion who ’s comfortable oscillating between role in prestigious fare ( in both movie and boob tube ) and often gamey - minded , yet otherwise crowd - pleasing tentpoles . Nevertheless , Venommarks an interesting turn point in Hardy ’s career , in the horse sense that it ’s his first fourth dimension headlining a comic book adaptation and not playing a supporting part in one ( a la his character as Bane inChris Nolan’sDark Knighttrilogy finale ) . Director Ruben Fleischer’sSpider - Manspinoff could further wind up giving Hardy his first full - blown dealership an a A - middlebreaker - assumingthe indefinitely delayedMad Max : Fury Roadsequeldoesn’t dead roar back to life .

For his part , Hardy is staying menial and just happy to have gotten to fiddle DC baddie , Marvel antiheroes , and character like Max Rockatansky . In an interview withTotal Filmmagazine to promoteVenom ’s upcoming loss , Hardy aver as much and joked about the melodic theme that he ’s dally both sides in the " battle " between Marvel and DC :

" I ’m quite mercenary . [ Laughs ] I ’m not a fully pay up member of any group . It ’s really awesome to have played in both camps . It ’s a veridical honour . And I got really nerveless ones . I got Bane and Venom , and I ’ve develop unhinged Max as well . I ’ve got some nice cosplay under my belt , some cosplay scalp , as it were … "

If nothing else , Hardy ’s turn as Eddie Brock promises to be a far call from his work as Bane , in several esteem . Whereas the thespian gained a substantial amount of muscle for play the latter - who ’s more of a straightforward antagonist than the former - hedidn’t even wear thin a mo - cap suit to diddle Venom , at the end of the day . Similarly , The Dark Knight Rises ' version of Bane is ( like the rest of Nolan ’s Batman film trilogy ) relatively grounded in mode and serious in tone , unlike the quasi - horror - comedy vibration that Hardy and Fleischer seem to be going for withVenom- a film that promises towalk the communication channel between a PG-13 and R - rating , even more thanDark Knight Risesdid .

As for the Marvel vs. DC matter : Hardy is but the belated creative actively involved with either company ( or , in his case , both of them ) to laugh off the musical theme of their " war " with one another . apparently , the duad are competing with each other for comic book sale and box power riposte , but they ’ve long avoided trying to directly challenge one another , especially when it comes to their picture show . As such , it ’s nice to listen that Hardy apprize having the freedom to get together with the pair of them , much like fans are permit to support ( or not support ) either or both companies , however they deem primed .
