Black Panther star Andy Serkis has revealed some surprising new details about Tom Hardy's turn as Eddie Brock in Venom and it turns out that the Spider-Man villain will be brought to life in a unique way.

We've all been so concerned with what Sony has planned for Venom and why Spider-Man won't swing into the movie, none of us

have

really stopped to think about how the fan-favourite villain will be brought to life on the big screen. Well, during a recent interview to promote his new movie Breathe, Andy Serkis has confirmed that Tom Hardy will don a motion-capture suit in Sony's upcoming spinoff.

"The time has come that people understand that performance capture is a technology, not a genre of acting,” Serkis explains in our video above. Acting is acting, and the more actors – like Steve Zahn… and Karin Konoval who plays Maurice in ‘War For The Planet of the Apes’ – the more A-list actors that come on board, like Mark Rylance playing The BFG, or a lot of actors in the new Marvel films… Tom Hardy is playing a new character using performance capture. It all points up ‘what is the nature of acting?’ and there is no difference between acting wearing a costume and make up, or wearing a motion capture suit. That’s plain and simple, it just needs awarding bodies to understand that."
