In a recent conversation with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Juno Temple, the latest addition to the ‘Venom’ franchise, revealed a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the production and talked about the infectious joy of Tom Hardy, who returns as Eddie Brock/Venom.
Temple expressed admiration for Hardy’s excitement for his character and ‘Venom 3.’ She compared Hardy to a child on the first day of school, saying:
“Tom is such a fan of Venom and the relationship between Eddie and Venom. He’s so excited about telling this story and is so thrilled to have other people be part of [that.] He feels like a kid on the first day at school. That’s pretty good energy to start a job with as it’s intimidating, but when you have Venom himself as excited and nervous as you are because you all care, it feels like, ‘Ah, I’m in the right place!'”
Moreover, Temple also shared insights into the scale of the film’s production. Suggesting it goes beyond her past experiences in blockbuster films, she added:
“I’m not gonna lie; I may have stepped onto a bigger set than even the ‘Batman’ movie I was in. This set was insane. The creativity behind it — firstly, you walk into that, and you are like, ‘Wow, oh my God, this is really big!”
