Tom Hardy finally the premiere Venom: The Last Dancethe third part of his beloved symbiote, which will also be the last film about the character. The actor bids farewell after six years of giving life to one of the most bizarre and popular creatures in modern superhero cinema, completing the trilogy that heads Spider-Man Universe from Sony.. During this time he learned a lot and became very interested in his saga. So he has a great understanding of how it needs to be brought to the screen, especially in this latest issue.
The main thing that stands out about the franchise he stars in is that they took on a character known primarily as one of the most fearsome villains in comics. Spider-Man. But instead of focusing on his dark side, they transformed him and brought him to the side of the good guys, ending his journey in Venom: The Last Dance. This was a fundamental key to success, although also a big challenge, he tells us in an exclusive interview provided by Hipertextual.
“He I The first novel I read as a young man showed him as an extremely Machiavellian, dark, intuitive and dynamic character. I’m not really a fan of him being a villain or a hero, but I understand the use of those words. I’ll be specific. He can do good and hateful things at the same time. He lives in a huge range,” begins Hardy. Faced with such a complex character, the main character Venom: The Last Dance shows what bothered him the most.
Venom fans
“It looks a little grim. But if you look at the fan demographics Ithe largest age range from 8 to 12 years old are Latin American children. So this dark and outspoken character appeals to these kids. And therein lies the dichotomy,” says the actor. This is the big problem they’ve been trying to solve for three films.
“To make a movie for the whole family, from grandma to fans, how to make something recognizable for a fandom that absolutely loves them and… It’s like being in Mad Max and not be Mel Gibson. It’s difficult. Mel Gibson is Chalk. Venom in the comics is Venom in the comics. We asked ourselves, ‘Well, what can we do with him that will be different and fresh, but at the same time respectful of what comes from him, his heritage?'” Hardyremembering another one of his most beloved and famous roles in Mad Max: Fury Road. Six years later in Venom: The Last Dance The answer to this question is very clear.
Neither hero nor villain
“Where you hit the nail on the head is with the concept of the antihero,” he decides. Hardy problem. “I He is explosive, primal and does what he wants, when he wants. But she can only do this within reason, because we can’t tear off so many heads and shed so much blood, because then we won’t be able to show it to the children, and we want them to enjoy her character … “, then he confesses, although in. Venom: The Last Dance The symbiote will return to action as before, and the film will continue without upping the tone to a more violent tone, as some viewers have demanded.
“In the comics Eddie Brock He is very persistent, heartbroken, angry, offended. They are similar, their symbiosis is different [a la de las películas]. We choose someone who is selfish, cowardly, has common sense, a huge ego, very self-righteous, narcissistic. It’s quite the opposite. And this is also similar to ours Ibecause I He is also quite narcissistic in his own way. But it’s out of this world,” he defines them, commenting that what makes them work is that they are two alpha males who are dating.
“[Lo que les mueve] the point is that they may argue about ethics or morality. Because I He has no morals, he will eat people. TO Eddie The thought of this happening disgusts him. And the reality is that this can happen at any moment. This creates an antihero in which the person Eddielooks reluctant and I He says, “Let’s do this.” And this is an antihero. This has been the evolution of the comic in relation to the basic and fundamental concept of the anti-hero,” he concludes. Hardy his explanation.
Six Year Journey
Despite this hurdle that must be overcome to reach the entire family, Tom Hardy He’s just grateful to have reached this point. Venom: The Last Dance. “We are fortunate to have the opportunity to create a world around a beloved character in a cinematic environment, to become the gateway to I for an audience who loves comics, as well as for those who have never heard of this character. We were given the gift of being part of the team that developed it and brought it to cinema this time,” he says, happy with the result.
In addition, in Venom: The Last Dance There is something that worries the main character even more. And it marks the former screenwriter’s behind-the-scenes debut. Kelly Marcel. “The joy of working with Kelly This was an added benefit. We were able to develop and grow… We knew each other since childhood, and neither of us had a job. Now Kelly She is my director and this is a film that she wrote and that we have been working on for the last three years for seven years. And she had never even made short films in her life. Nothing. This is colossal, this is a great job,” he notes. Hardy.
Finally, the symbiote interpreter remembers that making films is much more difficult than it seems. That thanks to his creative advice in Venom: The Last Dance confirmed. “When people go to see a film, myself included, we don’t think – I do more now – about the time it takes to develop, the care, the love, the passion, the details, the abundance of possibilities and choices it takes to make something “That’s right,” he says. Hardy.
“[Esta película] It was a fantastic look behind the scenes to see how it all works. And finally, at the end of the day, I’m here with my best friend. She directed the third part of the trilogy, which we started from scratch. “I’m an actor, she was a writer, and now we’re building a world, so it’s something huge,” he concludes.
