Tom Hardy in “Matrix Resurrections”? The revelations of one of the actresses of the film indeed suggests that we can see the English comedian, who was shooting “Venom 2” in the same city at the same time.
In its manner of engaging with itself, the saga as a whole, and viewers, echoing previous episodes, Matrix Resurrections is undoubtedly a meta movie that is packed with detail.
