Actor Tom Hardy impressed everyone at CinemaCon convention here by showing an extended footage from upcoming superhero movie Venom. The film, which doesn't resemble a superhero tentpole, began with Hardy's Eddie Brock as a tough journalist dealing with Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed as he uncovers exploitation at a corporate entity -- resulting in a subsequent visit at his run-down apartment from henchmen who are there to dispatch him.
