The film sees the actor joining forces with one of the genre’s best auteurs
Tom Hardy’s new action movie Havoc is finally releasing on Netflix this week, three years after it finished filming.
London native Hardy has been one of the UK’s favourite actors ever since making his acting debut in Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down in 2001.
Hardy went on to become a household name through his appearances in Star Trek Nemesis, RocknRolla, Bronson and Christopher Nolan’s Inception.
On top of working with Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk, the 2010s saw Hardy appear in acclaimed films Warrior, Locke, Mad Max Fury Road and Legend.
Recent years have seen the 47-year-old focusing on Eddie Brock, playing the journalist in three Venom movies between 2018 and 2024.
Outside of this, the only movies Hardy has appeared in since playing the Marvel anti-hero is Capone in 2020 and 2023’s The Bikeriders.
On Friday morning (April 25), Netflix viewers will be able to watch Hardy in a brand new action thriller from Gangs of London creator and The Raid director Gareth Evans.
Havoc tells the story of a bruised detective fighting his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician’s estranged son after a drug deal goes wrong.
With the city’s dark web of conspiracy and corruption coming to light, Havoc is the kind of film Hardy’s fans have been waiting to see him in for many years.
Boasting a stacked supporting, Havoc features Shadow and Bones’ Jessie Mei Li, Timothy Olyphant and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker.
Only releasing now, Havoc was originally announced back in February 2021, going on to begin principal photography that summer.
Wrapping filming in October, 2021, Havoc’s release was significantly delayed as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike meaning the film’s reshoots couldn’t take place.
With its stars schedules busy in the wake of the strike, Havoc finally got to complete its standard reshoots last year.
Speaking to The Playlist about the process of making Havoc a reality, Hardy said: “It was COVID and then getting the band back together. So, there were a lot of people; it was hard to get off on other jobs and move around.
“Because we shot that partly in quarantine as well, it just took an awful lot of moving parts to get together and facilitate it to become the beast that it is now.”
Hardy added: “It is literally a massive choreography of unbelievable violence on turbo; almost like how a child would play, but with all the toys. And his (Evans) attention to detail in balletic, violent choreography with multiple characters is something that he absolutely is brilliant at.”
Havoc is available to stream on Netflix on Friday, April 25.
