"Chris Columbus is editing it right now. So it should be next year, I would think," he told Saturday Kitchen. "That's cinemas and then, then on Netflix straight after that. So I would think next summer, next autumn? I would guess, but I don't know for sure."
Meanwhile, Hardy recently signed on to star in crime thriller Blood On Snow, which will co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
The movie has been adapted by Jo Nesbø, who wrote the original book, and follows a hitman who is targeted by his boss after he is ordered to do a job that goes against his morals.
The Associate will stream on Paramount+, with a release date yet to be confirmed.
