After starring in 2020’s notorious flop Capone, Hardy will next reprise the role of Eddie Brock in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, with Woody Harrelson joining him in the role of Carnage. Of course Hardy’s varied career has also included some more prestige-minded efforts like the Oscar-winning The Revenant and the war drama Dunkirk, as well as TV work on the shows Peaky Blinders and Taboo. Hardy obviously is no stranger to the world of action filmmaking himself, having starred in movies like Sucker Punch, The Dark Knight Rises, Mad Max: Fury Road and Venom. As reported by THR, the film sees Hardy playing a detective who must fight his way through the criminal underworld to rescue the son of a politician, while contending with the corruption and conspiracy gripping the city. Instead of heading to the DC Universe at the helm of a Deathstroke movie, Evans will next work with Hardy on the Netflix film Havoc.

He then went to the world of television for the series Gangs of London, which ran on Sky in Britain and on AMC in America. Branching away from martial arts action, Evans turned to horror for 2018’s Apostle, starring Dan Stevens as a drifter pitted against a bizarre island religious cult.

The director followed up that success with a 2014 sequel The Raid 2, but elected not to keep the string alive with a third Raid film (a Raid remake was at one time reportedly being developed by Joe Carnahan).

After honing his action filmmaking skills on the obscure Singaporian film Merantau, Evans burst onto the international scene in a huge way with his acclaimed 2011 thriller The Raid: Redemption, an unrelenting action exercise showcasing the traditional Indonesian martial art pencak silat.įeaturing insane fight choreography from star Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian, The Raid established Evans as a budding master of high-tension action filmmaking. Tom Hardy and The Raid director Gareth Evans team up for the Netflix crime thriller Havoc.
