Marvel fans may be looking forward to the release of the new superhero movie Venom – but for its star, Tom Hardy, it will be a bittersweet experience.
In an interview with ComicsExplained, Hardy said that all his favourite scenes had ended up on the cutting-room floor. When asked "What was your favourite scene to film?" he said: "Things that aren’t in this movie."
The Taboo star continued, in a possibly tongue-in-cheek reply: "There are, like, 30 to 40 minutes' worth of scenes that aren’t in this movie... all of them. Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes. You know what I mean? They just never made it in."
The film, a spin-off from the Spider-Man franchise, tells the origin story of the supervillain Venom, a symbiotic alien creature which takes over the body of a journalist (played by Hardy), and kills its enemies by biting off their heads.
The film's executive producer Matt Tolmach has poured cold water on rumours that the film's most shocking scenes were cut to ensure it would receive a PG-13 certificate in the US.

So is the stuff they cut out just because they were originally shooting for it to be rated R, and then lost their nerve? I could have sworn at some point they announced it was going to be an R.

Well, that doesn’t bode well.
Taking bets on RT score — I’m guessing 38%

Out of all the things a leading actor can say about his film that comes out in a week this has to be the worst thing you could say.
I feel like he’s already distancing himself from the project which does not bode well for the Venom film, especially since Sony named this Venom universe and clearly planned on more spin off films lmao.
Oh well maybe the film won’t be a mess? Hopefully not.
