Tom Hardy drops his Venom role as Eddie Brock to follow up Hugh Jackman in this stylishly subtle Wolverine design.
Audiences will next see Tom Hardy in Venom: Let There Be Carnage alongside Woody Harrelson’s Cletus Kasady, but he’s also one of stars often picked by comic book fans as a potential candidate to replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in whatever plans Marvel Studios has for the mutant hero. Although Hardy seems pretty set on playing Eddie Brock and Venom for the foreseeable future, it’s not too hard to picture the actor picking up a set of Adamantium claws for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This design of the Venom star surfaced online, showing off a stylish version of Wolverine in the present day. The art used a GQ shot of Tom Hardy to imagine what Marvel’s next version of Logan Howlett could look like alongside other heroes in the MCU like Falcon, Winter Soldier and Doctor Strange. Houseofmat on Instagram redesigned the image to give the actor Logan’s iconic wild hairstyle as well as a subtle use of an ‘X’ pin, just to callback to his X-Men affiliation. Take a look at Tom Hardy as Wolverine below!

The evolution story of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass character – Venom! Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancée. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?
