Tom Hardy has spent much of this year back in the conversation thanks to the ongoing attention around MobLand, but one of his most acclaimed films is now getting a fresh wave of interest for a very different reason. According to the report, Hardy’s performance in The Revenant is drawing renewed attention as the film climbs on video-on-demand services.
Hardy’s career has stretched across several major franchises and high-profile collaborations, from the Venom films to Mad Max: Fury Road and his work with Christopher Nolan on titles such as Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. Still, The Revenant remains the project that earned him his only Oscar nomination so far, arriving in 2015 for his role in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s western epic. While Leonardo DiCaprio ultimately won the Academy Award for his performance in the film, Hardy’s turn was widely seen as one of the strongest of his career.
More than a decade after release, the movie still does not have a U.S. streaming home. Even so, it is currently surging on digital platforms including Prime Video and Apple TV, suggesting that interest in the film has not faded. For viewers looking to revisit Hardy’s work outside his blockbuster era, the renewed VOD momentum is giving The Revenant a new kind of spotlight.
