This series was initially conceived as the over-the-pond spin-off of the Showtime series Ray Donovan, but Ritchie and Ronan Bennett later decided to shift the gears and reimagined it as a standalone series. In addition to serving as its writers, they’ll also executive producing this project alongside David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, and Ivan Atkinson.

Despite abandoning its initial concept, The Associate will still be set in the world of London’s most elite fixers. It will reportedly center on “two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they weave, and the man they call upon to fix their problems.”

Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan will lead the cast as the matriarch and patriarch of a crime family, whose reputation is put at risk. They both made a transition to television in recent years – Mirren with the Yellowstone spin-off 1923, Brosnan with AMC’s western drama The Son. As for Tom Hardy, he’ll play the fixer of the crime family at the center of this series, and this project will mark his first major TV role since Peaky Blinders.

The Venom trilogy centers on an investigative journalist Eddie Brock, who serves as a host to Venom, an alien symbiote with super-human abilities. Their complicated relationship will continue in The Last Dance, which sees them going on the run.

“Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance,” reads Sony’s official logline.

Tom Hardy is returning to lead the third film in the franchise, and he’ll be joined by Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) as Orwell Taylor, a soldier who’s trying to track and capture Venom. The cast also includes Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon), Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), plus Stephen Graham and Peggy Lu, reprising their roles from the previous films.

Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theatres via Sony Pictures on October 25.

Yes, yes, we realize we’ve just passed the season of tinsel and too much food, but we are already excited for Christmas 2019, and there is one specific reason.

Tom Hardy.

The Venom actor has signed on to star in an adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

The Charles Dickens classic tells the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by 3 spirits on Christmas Eve.

The BBC production comes from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, and will also be executive produced by Hardy.

So what role is the 41 year old set to play?

“I’m not going to reveal, but he’s going to be pivotal to the whole thing,” said Knight.

We are likely to receive 3 one-hour episodes, with production expected to start soon in order to have the series on air by Christmas.

Happy (Hardy) holidays, folks!

Venom performed so well at the box office, that it is no surprise a sequel is coming our way.

The comic book character first appeared in Spider-Man 3 in 2007, but received his own origin story last year when Tom Hardy portrayed Eddie Brock as the journalist gains superpowers after being bound to an alien symbiote whose species plans to invade Earth.

Venom grossed $855 million at the worldwide box office.

Sony is now working on a sequel to the Marvel film with Kelly Marcel returning to pen the script as well as executive produce.

Hardy, Michelle Williams, and Woody Harrelson will also return, though it is believed that director Ruben Fleischer may be too busy filming Zombieland 2.

Venom 2 is expected to be released in October 2020.
