12 Actors Who Slammed Their Own Movie Before Release

How little did we know that the first trailer shot of Hardy freaking the F out would go on to resemble his experience on-set?

As reviews and general reception have attested, Venom feels about 10-15 years old, though alarmingly, Hardy was one of the first people to sound the warning klaxon. Speaking to ComicsExplained, Tom quite brazenly, in response to being asked which his favourite scenes to film were, outlined that none of them were included.

Maintaining a solemn expression that immediately tanked the energy in the room, it turns out these weren't just occasional experimental scene-extenders or one-offs, but a full "30-40 minutes" of what assumedly elevated the movie and his involvement overall, comprising "mad puppeteering work" and "dark comedy".

The fact Hardy was so open about his dislike didn't bode well for the movie and, well, you can see mixed reactions Venom's getting across the board.
