During his press tour for the film, Hardy met retired police dogs in an interview with VT dated April 23, 2025. While playing with one of those dogs, he was asked to rank three characters: Ronnie and Reggie Kray, Eddie Brock/Venom, and Charles Bronson in terms of difficulty. The Revenant star replied:
"None of them were difficult. They were just pure joy to play cuz I love playing. So, nothing, I just enjoy it, so it's not difficult if you enjoy something; I don't think for me anyway. It's the ones you don't enjoy that are difficult."
