Andy Serkis, the director, delves into the methodology behind the live-action transformation of Venom and extols Tom Hardy for his impact on Sony’s Venom films.

Comic book fame significantly contributed to the films’ success, but it was their action sequences, visual effects, and Tom Hardy’s acting that truly resonated with viewers.
