Usually more adult-oriented blockbusters are specially marketed that way, namely with the release of red-band trailers, but all of the material that we’ve seen cut for Venom has been for all audiences.
Sure, there’s a lot of talk about eating people and turds in the wind, but there also hasn’t been any excessive blood shown or any obscene/foul language.
There are surely some fans who are going to be upset by this, as a no-holds-barred Venom movie could have been very cool – but at the same time it’s not all that surprising.
Not only did we first hear about the possibility of this more family-friendly approach back in early August, but it’s not as though the film has been specially advertised as an R-rated adventure.
