Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s director is excited to see Sony’s planned Venom standalone film.
So like the idea of Tom Hardy being Venom is pretty cool, I’m really excited.
I know Ruben Fleischer, who’s doing Venom; we’ve known each other since [our] music video days.
Fortunately, the casting of someone as talented and charismatic as Tom Hardy in the lead role is a good first step in making sure a Venom film without Spider-Man still feels like something worth investing your time in.
