It struck me as unusual, then, when I saw Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock character wearing that signature Axel Foley jacket in the Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer.
So I asked Hardy about it during the Venom: Let There Be Carnage press day, and his answer is in the video at the top of this page.
And then, during a screening of the movie, I picked up on a separate reference to the first Beverly Hills Cop.
