We more than likely have Spider-Man to thank, as itâs revealed Venom will have a PG-13 rating, and not an R-rating like a lot of fans were hoping for.
In addition, itâs said the run-time for Venom is around 1 hour and 52 minutes, and also that itâs tracking for around a $60 â $85 million opening weekend.
Regarding why Venom is rated PG-13, itâs thought because Sony wants to connect Venom to not only Spider-Man, but the MCU as well, including the Avengers.
The director recently dropped a bomb in that he couldnât talk if Spider-Man is in the movie.
âI honestly donât know what Iâm allowed to say,â Fleischer told the LA Times. âI mean, I know the answer â Iâve seen the movie. But I donât want to get in trouble for saying something Iâm not supposed to.â
Likewise, an earlier report stated Sony wants to connect Venom to the Avengers, and that Tom Hardy and director Ruben Fleischer are injecting humor into the film.
The previous report made mention that Sony doesnât want Venom to be too dark and gory as it âcould preclude other film match-ups, not just with Peter Parkerâs alter-ego, but also with other members of the extendedâ MCU.
Itâs said Tom Hardy and director Ruben Fleischer have been working to inject humor into the story of journalist Eddie Brock whose body and mind are taken over by an alien symbiote.
