Tom Hardy is set to join Sony’s rebooted Marvel universe in the Spider-Man spin-off Venom.
The script will come from Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner. Rosenberg’s credits include Con Air and Kangaroo Jack while Pinkner previously worked on The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Venom will be part of a new Spider-Man universe that was briefly teased in Captain America: Civil War, which introduced Tom Holland as the latest iteration of Peter Parker.
The film will be directed by Ruben Fleischer, whose credits include Zombieland and, most recently, episodes of the Drew Barrymore comedy Santa Clarita Diet.
