What Tom Hardy show/movie should I watch next?

I’ve only recently discovered Tom Hardy, yes 20 years too late but better late than never.

So far I’ve watched him as Bane in Batman, in The Take, Legend(My favourite) and Wuthering Heights. What should I watch next?

Taboo!!!!

I recently watched Locke. He is the only actor who actually appears on screen, the others are all phone calls while he's driving. So if you want 90 minutes of pure Tom, watch this! A young and not-famous Tom Holland is the voice of his son 😁

Mobland

Taboo is great, i love him in the film he did about the Krays the name escapes me, and if you can find it Bronson that is a bonkers but a gem of a film about Charles Bronson ( the prisoner not actor)

Krays film is called Legend

I can’t think of anything he isn’t brilliant in. (I haven’t seen a Wuthering Heights with him in it.) Locke is a masterpiece - I often find myself thinking about it, years after watching.

And I’ve just started watching Mobland - he is the only reason to continue with it.

BRONSON! Unreal.

And yes Moblands too

'Locke is a masterpiece - I often find myself thinking about it, years after watching.'

I agree - it's so gripping and involving. I have heard it described as 'Tom Hardy drives around all night while talking about concrete' 😁 and yes, that happens but there's so much more to it than that

This means war is one of my favourites..it’s a rom com, also Venom if you like a bit of Marvel

I am glad you agree it is a bit niche and not spoken about enough imo.

prampushingdownthehighst · 19/09/2026 17:39

The Drop, if it's still available

He stars with the wonderful James Gandolfini

Edit to add
Agree about Locke, brilliant

Mumofyellows · 19/09/2026 17:41

Mobland. And he’s quite good at reading the cebeebes bedtime stories 🤣

Warrior

Edenmum2 · 19/09/2026 17:44

Locke is exceptional

ThePineappleSeahorse · 19/09/2026 17:45

I forgot that I’ve ordered the dvd of Stuart: A Life Backwards. Hopefully it’ll arrive soon. Has anyone seen him in that?

That was the one I came on here to recommend! It's a hard watch, but he is absolutely incredible in it.

I actually googled "C6 concrete" whilst watching it 😂

Taboo is fantastic.

bingobangs · 19/09/2026 18:27

Taboo is good & the Drop

bingobangs · 19/09/2026 18:29

This means war is a bit shit but he looks hot in it.

Lawless is good too

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much. I can’t wait for it to arrive though I know that I’m going to cry throughout the whole thing.
