At the red carpet event for Havoc’s debut on Tuesday at London’s BFI Imax, Pang spoke with the PA news agency saying, \”Tom Hardy is incredible. Seriously, he is remarkable. His dedication and hard work are unparalleled.\”
We noticed immediately after setting up, he headed straight for practice without stopping. Just look at this fellow. Seriously, how does he not get exhausted at all? I\’m truly amazed by his performance.
Evans said Hardy’s “strengths are deep dive character building work”, which allowed them “to fuse our styles together”, giving the film strong action scenes, and the “heart underneath”.

Evans mentioned that his films typically incorporate the styles of martial artists like Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, but \”this particular movie focuses much more on firearms.\”
