Cape Town - Tom Hardy says the film industry is "superhero-movie heavy" after starring in upcoming Marvel release Venom.

The 41-year-old said that the darkness of his new role keeps the genre fresh in the current marketplace.

In the film Hardy plays journalist Eddie Brock who attempts to revive his career by investigating the Life Foundation. However he comes into contact with an alien symbiote that bonds with Brock, giving him superpowers as long as they share the same body.
