Tom Hardy has acted in dozens of blockbuster films and has played many influential roles in his prolific career. Any fan of Hardy would know that he goes above and beyond when showcasing his acting skills and depicting his onscreen characters. Ahead of his crime drama The Bikeriders film's release, the actor recently revealed in an interview with Comic Book Resources what he expects the audience will take away from this project.
Hardy explained that while he is "not hoping anything really," he 'hopes' that fans "enjoy the film" and understand the personality of the bikers community. The Bikeriders, inspired by Danny Lyon's photo book of a 1960s motorcycle club, "captures a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing." Hardy told the outlet that the film is "cool" and has so much to debate about.
The outlet questioned what he expects from the fresh audiences who don't know much about the culture and bikes and what they would take away from the movie. In response, the actor explained that "when we judge a book by its covers," people often unfairly judge bikers based on superficial assumptions.
The Peaky Blinders star pointed out that people often overlook the positive qualities and strong bonds within communities like bikers. He said these individuals show "vulnerability and the softness and the generosity" in ways that might not fit typical expectations "or considered whatever normal is."
