McGregor inspires Hardy character ‘Venom’ in upcoming film
Hardy reveals McGregor inspired his character in the upcoming film, ‘Venom’. Hardy plays the character of Eddie Brock who transforms into Spider-Man’s arch nemeses, Venom, after his body is infiltrated by an evil alien symbiote. He says the role was excting because it’s a double act. He sees Brock as:
A mixture of Woody Allen and Conor McGregor: tortured neurosis but also bravado.
And for the character of the alien, he was inspired by James Brown and “one of those rappers from the Nineties, big voices: Redman or Method Man”.

I celebrated when I got the part, but now I have to do the job. It’s a lot of money that they’re putting into it, and I have absolutely no rabbit coming out of my ass or flowers up my sleeve. Like, how do you eat an elephant? One step at a time.
