Venom: Tom Hardy Says Over 30 Minutes Was Cut From the Movie
Venom, starring Tom Hardy, is set to be released this Friday, October 5, but will arrive without "30 to 40 minutes" of Venom scenes that may be Hardy's favorites.
In an interview with ComicsExplained, Tom Hardy was asked "what was your favorite scene to film?" Hardy, Venom himself, replied:
"They’re scenes that aren’t in this movie. 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."
Co-star Riz Ahmed then jokes with him and says "If they didn't make it into the film, they weren't any good, bro. Alright, I hate to break it to you."

Hulu’s Into the Dark: Exclusive Trailer Debut for ‘The Body’
Just in time for the Halloween season, Hulu is partnering with Blumhouse Television to bring an all-new horror anthology series to life. Over the next year, Into the Dark will debut "12 super-sized episodes, with a new installment released each month inspired by a holiday," featuring Blumhouse’s "signature genre/thriller spin on the story," according to Hulu.
The series' first outing, titled "The Body," is set to premiere on Friday, October 5. Per Hulu, The Body centers on "a sophisticated hitman with a cynical view on modern society who finds his work made more difficult when he has to transport a body on Halloween night, but everyone is enamored by what they think is his killer costume."
Why Do We Love the Character Venom?
With director Ruben Fleischer and star Tom Hardy’s much-anticipated Venom movie about to hit theaters, some of us are on pins and needles in anticipation. This character is important to fans. But why exactly do we love him so much?
Venom, to offer a brief primer for the uninitiated, is a Spider-Man villain invented in 1988 that serves, essentially, as Spider-Man's evil twin. Venom is the alter-ego of Eddie Brock, an investigative reporter and rival of Peter Parker who had fused with an alien symbiote (visualized as a blob of living, shape-shifting intelligent tar that once served as Spider-Man's costume) that wrapped around his body and implanted a dark voice in his head telling him to commit acts of violence and, occasionally, cannibalism. Venom, looking like a nightmare version of Spider-Man – complete with a gaping be-fanged mouth and giant lolling tongue – started his career terrorizing the populace, but eventually became a dark antihero – a lethal protector – starring in his own comics and, as of this month, his own movie.
Titans to Premiere on Netflix Internationally
Though DC Universe will debut its first original series, Titans, in the United States, Netflix has acquired the international streaming rights for fans overseas who don't have access to DC's digital subscription service.
As reported by Variety, Netflix will be home to Titans everywhere but the United States and China, the later of which doesn’t have official access to Netflix at all. Though Titans is scheduled to hit the DC Universe streaming service on October 12, the international premiere date for Titans on Netflix has yet to be announced.
Though DC Universe launched in the US on September 15, and has been announced for a Canadian release in the future, it appears Canada will be one of the many countries that will enjoy Titans on Netflix, at least for now.
Goodbye Dragon Bones: Daredevil Season 3 Will Be More ‘Grounded and Real’
Netflix and Marvel’s Daredevil Season 3 debuts on October 19, but when Matt Murdock returns, it will be in a more grounded and realistic version of the Marvel Universe.
After fighting zombie ninjas, looking for dragon bones, and dealing with an evil, formerly dead girlfriend, series star Charlie Cox promises that Daredevil is going back to basics in the new season. I visited the set of the show while it was shooting in Brooklyn last spring, so read on for all the details Cox and showrunner Erik Oleson revealed about Season 3, including whether or not the episodes are really based on the classic story “Born Again,” the return of Vincent D'Onofrio’s Kingpin, pulling back from the more comic-booky elements of Season 2 and The Defenders, and more.
