Tom Hardy was looking significantly less possessed by an amorphous alien symbiote at the premiere of Venom on Monday. His apparent affinity for playing characters that wear masks [1] in movies can sometimes make us forget how gorgeous he is, but thankfully his red carpet appearances remind us of his alluring smile and smolder [2]. He was accompanied by many of his fellow Venom castmates, including Michelle Williams [3], Kelly Marcel, Riz Ahmed, and Jenny Slate.
Although the movie hasn't officially hit theaters yet, there have already been talks about a sequel and spinoffs. [4] We're definitely hoping that the film delivers at the box office, and not because we want to see more of Tom Hardy, but because — OK, it's because we want to see more of Tom Hardy.
