Tom Hardy is playing a new character using performance capture.
Well wonder no more, as motion capture pioneer Andy Serkis (War for the Planet of the Apes, Lord of the Rings) has spilled the beans to Yahoo that actor Tom Hardy will be bringing the Venom character to life through performance capture technology.
Co-starring with Tom Hardy in the Venom movie are Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Reid Scott, Jenny Slate, and Scott Haze.
“The time has come that people understand that performance capture is a technology, not a genre of acting,” Serkis said.
