Tom Hardy has shared his thoughts on Venom and Eddie Brock’s strange relationship in Sony’s upcoming film.

Per EW, a new look at Venom has been unveiled, which you can view below. The movie will follow Eddie Brock getting suddenly exposed to the alien-like entity, symbiote. As a result, the journalist will find it difficult trying to deal with this pesky alien inside his head.

Speaking to EW, Hardy said he thinks Eddie and Venom’s relationship is similar to Ren and Stimpy’s from the classic animated series.

“It’s a bit like Ren and Stimpy, you know?” Hardy said. “They have different sounds. I always saw Venom as sounding like a James Brown lounge lizard, and Eddie Brock is kind of…I don’t know, an everyday kind of guy even though he’s inherited this type of beast.”

According to director Ruben Fleischer, the movie will focus on this unusual relationship and the many ways Eddie and Venom will try to work together.

“Usually a human gets imbued with powers or an alien comes from outer space and has to figure out how to live on our Earth,” Fleischer said. “But this is really about a relationship between two people who have to work together to create this hybrid symbiotic relationship.”

Eddie Brock is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane, and his earliest appearance was a cameo in Web of Spider-Man #18 (September 1986), before making his first full appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #300 (May 1988) as the original and most well-known incarnation of Venom.

The film opens in theaters on October 4 in Australia, and October 5 in the U.S. and UK.

“Wait a sec” you might be asking, “A Venom movie with no Spider-Man?” Trust me, you don’t stand alone in your confusion (possible vexation).

Venom first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #254 in 1984. An inky black symbiotic suit of alien origin, Venom was originally worn by Peter Parker. It would be several years before Parker would discard the alien suit, thereafter finding its ‘proper’ mate in rival photographer Eddie Brock. Brock would go on to name their union of mutual hatred for the wall-crawler as Venom. The black alien suit would go on to have numerous iterations and be worn by a host of characters in the Marvel Universe.

Venom has appeared on the big screen before. Sam Raimi’s (abysmal in this writer’s opinion) Spider-Man 3 saw the alien suit worn by actor Topher Grace. Since that debacle, word has sparked time and again about the possible resurgence of Spider-Man’s long time rival/sometimes ally in a solo misadventure, with the previous attempts ultimately failing to materialize. It appears that Sony is attempting to once again bring the black suit to the big screen.

Eric Fineman and Palak Patel are currently overseeing the Venom project over at Sony.
