Tom Hardy is undoubtedly one of the most renowned action stars globally. However, he has also taken on significant roles that showcase his commanding performance rather than just his physical prowess. He delivered one of his most acclaimed performances alongside Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders, the popular British crime saga that aired for six seasons from 2013 to 2022. The franchise even made a return with a feature film, now available on Netflix, titled The Immortal Man, though Hardy does not appear in the film, much to the disappointment of fans. Additionally, Hardy received his first and only Oscar nomination for his role in the critically lauded Western, The Revenant, which marked Leonardo DiCaprio‘s first Academy Award win. Recently, he was seen alongside Pierce Brosnan in the successful crime series, MobLand, directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Ronan Bennett.
Many would argue that the most iconic film of Tom Hardy’s career is Inception. This 2010 sci-fi thriller features other stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Cillian Murphy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and it revolves around a thief who steals corporate secrets from competitors using dream-sharing technology. However, the plot takes a twist when he must use this technology to implant an idea instead of stealing one. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film achieved impressive ratings of 87% from critics and 91% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed an astounding $839 million at the box office against a budget of $160 million. Over 15 years later, Inception continues to top streaming charts on HBO Max in various countries worldwide and remains a VOD success in more than 15 countries.

Is Tom Hardy Making Another ‘Venom’ Movie?
Tom Hardy is involved as a producer in an animated Venom movie currently in development at Sony. However, it remains uncertain whether he will reprise his role as Eddie Brock or if another actor will be cast. Hardy has portrayed Eddie in three feature films, all of which were financial successes, yet this did not suffice to help Sony establish its SSU (Sony’s Spider-Man Universe). The franchise may have struggled due to its decision not to include Spider-Man in any films inspired by some of his greatest villains.
You can watch Inception on HBO Max in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates on streaming and Hardy’s upcoming projects.
