VENOM

The superhero world is filled with iconic duos – Batman and Robin, Cap and Bucky, Rocket and Groot – but rarely are a pair as close as Eddie Brock and Venom. And when we say close, we mean literally: Eddie ( Tom Hardy) is a scandalplagued journalist and Venom is the alien symbiote who’s invaded his body. Together, they form one antihero with Eddie’s investigative acumen and Venom’s penchant for biting off heads. “They’re a bit lost in this world, and finding each other and negotiating an ethical framework is perhaps a gift and a burden for the two of them,” Hardy tells WHO. “They bring out the very best and the very worst in each other.” In cinemas Oct. 4.
