Filming has begun on MOGLI director and LORD OF THE RINGS actor Andy Serkis' VENOM 2 with Tom Hardy. And today we have a quick update from Serkis himself that lets us know that the "really thrilling" movie is 40 days into filming.
He says:
Well, you know, I really can't talk too much about it – I know, boring – but we're 40 days into the shoot and it's really thrilling. We've got the magnificent Tom Hardy, who's obviously at the center of it, and we sort of see a deepening of the relationship between him and obviously there's a nemesis character and… that's all I can say.

Tom Hardy is reprising the role of Eddie Brock in VENOM 2 along with Michelle Williams as Eddie's wife Anne, Naomie Harris as Shriek, and Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady / Carnage. Meanwhile, the first film was rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for language.
The original film followed the adventures of
Eddie Brock, a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancee. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?
VENOM was directed by Ruben Fleischer (ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP) and starred Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Jenny Slate, and Woody Harrelson. Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel wrote the script. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal produced. BUY IT HERE.
