Tom Hardy in Venom

Ready for another film quiz? Here are 30 movie-related questions about literary adaptations, horror flicks, and the films of Tom Hardy.


Tom Hardy once said, of acting: “I like to be other people, not me. I don’t want to be me. That’s why I play other people.” Accordingly, he’s racked up an eclectic bunch of performances – if you ask us, he’s the closest thing to a British Nicolas Cage, and we do mean that as a compliment. With a third go-around for his personal Marvel performance-art project as Eddie Brock and Venom in cinemas next week, we’ve got some quiz questions about his other works.

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. And now, in your best Bane voice: “Let the games beginnn!”
