Tom Hardy’s Salary for Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage
The first installment of the movie was released in 2018 and was received well by the audience.

Regarding the salary of the star, it was a massive improvement from his first one, but it was not disclosed. As per reports, he also co-wrote Venom: Let There Be Carnage and earned screenwriting credits.
