Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Venom 2producer Matt Tolmach aver the pic could be R - rated thanks to the success ofJoker . Released in 2018,Venomproved to be a surprisingly massive success at the box office with a gross of $ 856 million worldwide . StarringTom Hardyas Eddie Brock / Venom , the picture put a dark and misrepresented tailspin on the supervillain origin story – though the movie did stop unawares of going full - on R - rated in its portraying of theSpider - Manbad guy wire .
Some fans indeed expressed disappointment thatVenomdid not go all the elbow room into R - rated territory , especially given the prior winner of R - rated comic book filmsDeadpoolandLogan – movie that ostensibly ruin old ceremonious soundness about comic book movies require to stay in the PG and PG-13 arena . There are still hope that theVenomsequel , which brings back Hardy as Brock and will bring in Woody Harrelson asCarnage , could push things far content - judicious and abut all the room into universal gas constant territory . However , Venom 2producerAvi Aradrecently shot down the idea of the continuation go universal gas constant - rated , sound out the 2d movie will carry a PG-13 rating like the first .

However , in what must be taken as a good sign forVenomfans hoping for a more comics - precise take on the eccentric inVenom 2 , producer Tolmach indicated that an R - rating is in reality still on the table for the funny book subsequence – andJokeris the reason why . talk toCinemaBlend , Tolmach said :
I mean , I intend you always have to think about [ it ] , now that that work . Having read that , our movie make really well . Our franchise exists as it is , and I do n’t think anybody is looking to just say , ‘ Hey , they [ did it ] ! ’ We have a place in the world . So it is n’t like dead everybody ’s considering what to do with the valuation . … I guess what Joker does is it tells you that you could follow .
Much likeVenom , Jokerwent dark in tell apart its own comic book villain origin story , but in the case of Todd Phillips ’ film things decease still darker and even crossed over into that formerly dreaded R - shit district . Much to the surprisal of many , Jokersoared to a take of over $ 1 billion worldwide , further certify that an R - rating is no longer the loge office obstacle it once was .
AfterJoker ’s massive succeeder , it makes all the sense in the universe forSonyto explore go R - rated withVenom 2 . Of course , Sony also holds out hope of one solar day executing aSpider - Man / Venom crossoverfilm , which likely means keepingVenomsequelsout of R - rated dominion to avoid fight withDisney ’s firmly PG-13 take on Spider - Man ( the two companies still share the character , thanks at least in part toTom Holland ’s drunken pleading ) . It remains to be ascertain how Sony decides to play it , but there ’s no doubt hardcoreVenomfans are in favor of following theJokerexample and give up the character to go fully dark and twisted a la the comic books .
