VENOM! TOM HARDY! What’s not to like?

So far in the trailers we’ve seen just previous snaps of the CGI’d Tom Hardy in full Venom clad, but this latest teaser puts that to bed in dramatic fashion.

With just a over a week before the film’s release, Sony is very firmly pulled back the curtain and debuting a first look at CGI Hardy in full action and badass mode.

The official synopsis for Venom was released earlier this week and reveals:

As a journalist, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) has been trying to take down the notorious founder of the Life Foundation, genius Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) – and that obsession ruined his career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams).

Upon investigating one of Drake’s experiments, the alien Venom merges with Eddie’s body, and he suddenly has incredible new superpowers, as well as the chance to do just about whatever he wants. Twisted, dark, unpredictable, and fuelled by rage, Venom leaves Eddie wrestling to control dangerous abilities that he also finds empowering and intoxicating. As Eddie and Venom need each other to get what they’re looking for, they become more and more intertwined — where does Eddie end and Venom begin?

In what looks dark, twisted, entrancing and dramatic, Hardy battles with the unpredictable convulsions of Venom and taking into account roles that Hardy has played in the past, we think he’ll nail it as well.
