Tom Hardy, who will soon be showing off his muscles as Bane in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, has gone shirtless for these sexy photos to promote his film Warrior.

In the movie, Hardy's character will dive into the brutal world of mixed martial arts. Looks hardcore!

Warrior hits theaters on September 9. See another photo of Hardy's ripped and tatted-up body ... after the jump.
