I was half expecting some sort of camera trickery to make him appear bigger than he is but Tom Hardy is a fantastic actor, If you've seen Bronson (British film from a few years back) then i'm sure you'd agree with me that he can pull of menacing very well

6 Months to go!!

i agree, the mask def grew on me as did his whole look.

@Crazay

i thought that way at first too but truth be told, they had a bigger guy play him last time and it was an abomination lol. plus i dont know too many actors that are "big" that can actually act and we need somebody who can own the screen and carry the movie like ledger. luckily for us, tom hardy is one of the best actors out there right now imo. Also if you have seen warrior ( this is just a damn good movie too ) or bronson ( a bit weird but he can be brutal ), go do so. few people are as fierce as hardy when the role demands it, i think he is going to kill this role.
