The Venom 3 trailer isn’t out yet, but early details indicate it may finally get the R-rating fans have wanted since the original film.
The trailer for the upcomingVenom: The Last Dancehas been rated by the UK’s British Board of Film Classification, orBBFC. The trailer has been given a 15 rating, which is roughly equivalent to the US R-rating.
A film rated 15 means no one younger than 15 may see, rent, or buy the video. These films may include more extreme content, such as “highly dangerous” behavior, strong language, and strong violence or horror, all things die-hard Venom fans have wanted since the first movie.
The original Venom was criticized at release for being a relatively toothless, PG-13-rated affair. Despite repeated scenes of violence and Venom eating several people, the film stayed fairly tame, keeping the more extreme violence obscured and blood at a minimum.
By the time of the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, there were rumblings of a more intense, R-rated effort. However, the original’s success led the studio to mandate the sequel also target a PG-13 rating.
What we do know is the film will somehow pick up right where the previous outing left off, asset photoshave already revealed Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock wearing the same outfit from the Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home post-credits.
