It’s Rumor Time: The Venom movie could be R-rated, super scary – A.V. Club

With Sony intent on putting a standalone Venom movie into the world, rumors about just what that particular project will look like have begun to circulate. The general consensus? It wont be for kids, which is fitting for a film about a parasitic villain. Collider reports that it is hearing that the studio wants to make it R-rated, following in the footsteps of Fox, which got grown-up with Deadpool and Logan. That assertion comes with a lot of qualifications, but also makes sense given both the character in play and the current superhero sub-trend.

Similarly, Screenrant is pointing out that the site My Entertainment World categorizes Venom as Action / Horror / Sci-Fi, meaning that it would presumably be scarier than your average Spider-Man adjacent flick. This also figures, given that Venoms look alone is the stuff of nightmares. Still, all of this is incredibly premature, and entirely speculative. What we do know is that whatever Venom looks likeand mind you, there is no director or star attached yetit wont be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Spidey now resides.
