Tom Hardy starrer Venom will hit theatres on October 5, 2018

Filming of Sony Pictures’ ‘Spider Man’ spin-off ‘Venom’ has finally started and a picture from the sets quietly landed on the internet. The official Twitter account of the movie shared a photograph and confirmed that the production of the highly-anticipated movie has begun.

The picture shows Tom Hardy, who plays the titular character, looking very happy on the sets. He is smiling and looking at a man who is penning down something while sitting. There is nothing much else one can glean from the photo so it is most likely first of the set photos to come in next few months. The character of Venom, who is also known as Eddie Brock, was last portrayed on the big screen by Topher Grace in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 in 2007, which starred Tobey Maguire, James Franco and Kirsten Dunst in other lead roles.
