One of Tom Hardy's most significant and highly-anticipated projects is the third and final installment in his symbiotic saga, officially titled Venom: The Last Dance. This film sees Hardy reprise his dual role as the investigative journalist Eddie Brock and his alien alter-ego, the anti-hero Venom. The production has been a major talking point, with fans eager to see how the story concludes following the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and his brief appearance in the MCU's multiverse.
The latest reports confirm that production has resumed and is moving quickly toward its planned release. Hardy is not only starring but also holds a story credit and is a producer, underscoring his deep creative involvement in the franchise. The film is directed by Kelly Marcel, who also penned the screenplay, promising a cohesive vision for the character’s farewell. The anticipation is high to see if this chapter will tie up loose ends from the Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) or provide a definitive, explosive ending for the fan-favorite duo.
A Return to Gritty Crime: MobLand and Havoc
Hardy's career is defined by his masterful portrayal of complex, often morally ambiguous characters in the crime and action genres, and 2025 is set to double down on this strength with two major new projects: the series MobLand and the Netflix film Havoc.
The Guy Ritchie Reunion: MobLand
The crime series MobLand marks a significant reunion for Tom Hardy with director Guy Ritchie, following their previous collaborations on films like RocknRolla. The project is described as a gritty crime drama, a genre where both Hardy and Ritchie excel. This series is generating considerable buzz as it promises a return to the stylistic, dialogue-heavy, and intense criminal underworld narratives that both men are famous for. Hardy is set to star alongside a stellar cast that reportedly includes Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, making it one of the most anticipated television events of the year.
The Netflix Action Thriller: Havoc
Hardy is also leading the cast of the Netflix action thriller Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Indonesian martial arts masterpiece The Raid. The film centers on a bruised detective who must navigate a criminal underworld to rescue a politician’s estranged son. The combination of Hardy’s visceral acting style and Evans’ reputation for groundbreaking, intense action sequences has been long-awaited by fans. Co-starring Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell, and Quelin Sepulveda, Havoc is poised to be a major streaming hit in 2025, offering a raw, action-packed role long overdue for the actor.
The Future of Alfie Solomons: Peaky Blinders Movie Update
While not a starring role, one of Tom Hardy’s most iconic and beloved characters is the Jewish gang leader Alfie Solomons from the series Peaky Blinders. Fans have been clamoring for updates on the long-awaited feature film continuation of the saga. The latest news, as of late 2024 and early 2025, indicates that the Peaky Blinders movie is actively moving forward.
Creator and writer Steven Knight has confirmed that the script is nearly complete, with filming potentially starting in 2024, setting the stage for a major release or production update in 2025. While the film will primarily focus on Cillian Murphy's Thomas Shelby, the potential for Tom Hardy's Alfie Solomons to return is high, given his integral role in the series’ finale and the character's immense popularity. His return would be a major draw, adding another layer of complexity to the post-war Birmingham narrative.
Beyond the Blockbuster: A New Directorial Partnership
Adding to his diverse 2025 slate, Tom Hardy is also set to collaborate with another major Hollywood figure: two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn. Penn recently confirmed in an interview that he will return to the director’s chair for a new project and that Hardy will be the lead actor. This partnership signals a move toward more character-driven, potentially dramatic work, showcasing Hardy's range outside of the action and comic book genres. Details on the film remain sparse, but the mere announcement of this collaboration between two intense, committed actors has generated significant industry excitement.
From the explosive finale of Venom to the grounded grit of MobLand and the high-octane action of Havoc, Tom Hardy's 2025 slate is a testament to his versatility and star power. His ability to inhabit deeply flawed, powerful, and often intimidating characters, whether as the villain Bane, the survivor Hugh Glass in The Revenant, or the complex criminal Alfie Solomons, ensures that his work will remain at the forefront of cinema for years to come.
