Here ’s what he said :

“ It ’ll be interesting . I ’ve seen some motion picture of his where he can bring choler and a extensive personality to it . To me , I believe Tom Hardy ’s going to be as good as whatever Venom await like . We all know Tom ’s conk out to act . He ’s cash in one’s chips to do a good job . So now what ’s Venom gon na ’ look like ? It ’s an R - scab movie , how ' R ' are they going to go ? To me , that ’s the question . Are they going to go a ' little mo universal gas constant ' ? Venom ’s a monster to me , and to me – are they going to make him a monstrosity or are they go to make him a human being ? Are they going to humanise him ? That ’s what we got ta ’ find out . ”
