Though a number of Marvel fans were noticeably displeased with this shocking rating change for Venom, Tom Hardy doesn’t seem too concerned with the change.
While Tom Hardy is certainly open to the future of the franchise having an R rating, it’s quite possible that the higher-ups at Sony Pictures may not be.
However, according to the movie’s star Tom Hardy, it doesn’t look like the franchise will be permanently set on staying on the PG-13 level, and that he believes the future installments starting with Venom 2 are open to being R-rated.
My littlest ones they watch Spider-Man and Venom quite comfortably, and Venom toys appear and LEGO appear in my nostrils in the morning.
