Venom 2 to possibly get R-rating after Jokers success in the Box office

Venom 2 may be R-rated. When a film in the United States has an R-rating, it means that anyone under 17 who wishes to watch the movie has to be accompanied by an adult because it means that those films with this rating have strong violence and language. There also may be sexual content which would not be appropriate for a younger audience.

Possible R-rating for Venom 2

The first Venom film which relaced in 2018 was not rated R, but after witnessing the success of R-rated Joker, the makers of Venom may have changed their minds. According to reports, Tom Hardy wanted the first Venom film to be R-rated so that the movie could stay true to its source material which is dark, gritty, and violent. But eventually, the PG-13 rating won out because then it would be able to be viewed by wider audiences. But given the movie Joker's recent success in the box office, the show's producer Matt Tolmsach has said that he will consider an R-rating for the film. This news is undoubtedly good news for the franchise.
