Impressive concept art for Tom Hardy’s Venom origin movie channels Mark Bagley’s iconic designs.
The first Venom film reintroduced moviegoers to the beloved antihero from the beloved Marvel comics for the first time since 2007’s Spider-Man 3. While some hardcore fans were taken by surprise at the fact that the origin story opted to take an alternate approach by excluding Spider-Man’s presence, others welcomed it with open arms because it was an opportunity to bring Venom back to the big screen.
One thing that cannot be denied about both the Tom Hardy and even Topher Grace incarnations is that the actual design of the character itself was quite impressive. Although some fans found the lack of a Spider symbol on Tom Hardy’s version to be peculiar, Venom’s actual face remained faithful, and a collection of concept art from artist Matt Millard showcases how it kept the spirit of Venom alive by embracing the designs of Mark Bagley’s Amazing Spider-Man artwork.
