Sony: Tom Hardy is playing Venom

Me: 

 

News fresh out of Hollywood is that Tom Hardy is in fact playing Venom in a new movie that is (at least at this time) NOT part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like a lot of Spidey fans I had absolutely zero desire to see a Venom movie, especially after the steaming pile of dung that was Amazing Spider-Man 2, but like a lot of movie fans I am ALWAYS up for seeing Tom Hardy in any movie. So I’m rather torn.

 

I won’t make any final decisions just yet, Sony, but if you can get this image

out of my Spider-Man fanhood you’d move up a notch or two in my book.
