Actor Tom Hardy stormed off set after exploding with fury over the script for his latest movie Venom, DailyMailTV can reveal.

Hardy was unimpressed with some of his lines during filming of the Marvel comic book adaptation in Atlanta, Georgia and launched into a rant at the production team over the script.

Crew members stood in shock as Hardy walked off set leaving the movie in temporary disarray last year, a source claims.

Director Ruben Fleischer then calmed Hardy down before the star returned to work the next day.

Venom, out in cinemas Friday, has been panned by many Hollywood critics.

And according to the source, Hardy - star of blockbusters The Dark Knight Rises and Mad Max: Fury Road - wasn't too impressed with the movie either.

The source said the actor was heard shouting: 'You guys have got to sort this out. I am not saying this stuff. It doesn't make sense.'

He then refused to film any more scenes, the source said.

The passionate star urged the writing team to go back to work on the script, before returning to his trailer.

The source, who witnessed Hardy's outburst, said: 'Tom had been on edge for quite a few days during filming. He had been huffing and puffing a lot over parts of the shoot and some of the scenes with his co-stars including Michelle Williams.

'He was on edge about getting the best out of the script and material.

'But one day he just exploded with rage about his lines. He shouted about how what he was saying did not make any sense.

'He called over some of the team, and demanded that they change the lines. It was a moment which had everyone transfixed as Tom stood there in a rage using foul language.'

The source continued: 'He essentially said that he was not returning to set until the script was changed.

'He walked off set, and the executives decided to let everyone cool off for the day.

'Ruben then settled everyone down and they returned the next day.

'There was still tension there though as Tom kept expressing his concerns about getting the character "right".

'He had fretted that the movie was not going to be a true homage to what fans will expect of the comic book adaptation.'

In Venom, a spin-off from the Spider-Man franchise, Hardy plays journalist Eddie Brock, who contracts an alien symbiote that gives him 'incredible powers'.

He then battles rages and intense mental trauma as the alien takes over, turning him into super-villain Venom who kills his enemies by biting off their heads.

Last week in an interview with ComicsExplained, Hardy revealed that he was at odds with what ended up on screen.

He said that all his favorite scenes had ended up on the cutting-room floor.

When asked, 'What was your favorite scene to film?', he said: 'Things that aren’t in this movie.

'He fretted that the movie was not going to be a true homage to what fans will expect of the comic book adaptation', the source said

'There are, like, 30 to 40 minutes' worth of scenes that aren’t in this movie... all of them. Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes. You know what I mean? They just never made it in.'

Hardy had already injected his own ideas into parts of the movie.

He altered one scene where Venom was meant to grab a lobster from a restaurant table for his first meal. However, Hardy persuaded his team that he needed to jump into a lobster tank and savage a lobster in the water.

The film's executive producer Matt Tolmach has poured cold water on rumors that the film's most shocking scenes were cut to ensure it would receive a PG-13 certificate in the US.

This week many of Hollywood's leading critics revealed they are not fans of Venom.

Matthew Rozsa reviewed the film for Salon and wrote if it 'wasn't for the sloppy and formulaic script', he would have loved it.

He added: 'Its main shortcoming is that... it doesn't have a strong script to prop up the rest of the proceedings. Every character except for Venom/Brock is completely forgettable, the story is generic at best and quite messy at worst and the climactic battle scenes have foregone conclusions.

The Hollywood Reporter's reviewer Todd McCarthy labelled the movie 'irredeemable', adding: 'The pervasive lack imagination of this film under the auspices of director Ruben Fleischer, in his first feature outing since the dreadful Gangster Squad in 2013, makes one appreciate the thought and care that Marvel has lavished not only on the likes of Black Panther and Captain America but even on more minor-league entries such as the amusing Ant-Man titles.'

Glenn Kenny for The New York Times wrote: 'The ingratiating eccentricities of Venom aren’t enough to really distinguish the movie from its superhero-movie brethren as it devolves into the usual expensive orgy of sound, fury and wisecracking.

The Daily Beast's Nick Schager piled on: 'An absurdly sloppy comic-book extravaganza about a noggin-chomping villain who becomes something of a hero, Venom is like its title character: so unbelievably bad it’s almost good. Almost.'

Variety's Owen Gleiberman moaned: 'Venom is a textbook case of a comic-book film that’s unexciting in its ho-hum competence, and even its visual-effects bravura.'

While C-NET said Venom may well be the 'dumbest' film of the year.

To add more woes to Hardy and his co-stars, Buzzfeed claimed that Lady Gaga's fans were firing off social media fake reviews to help push down the movie below A Star Is Born, Gaga's movie which is also released Friday.

The news site alleged that fan teams were spreading hate online in a coordinated effort - and some reviews were eerily similar.
