Venom The Last Dance To Have R rating?
The buzz around Venom: The Last Dance (aka Venom 3) is finally turning positive, as the final trailer has sparked curiosity and excitement among audiences. Fans are now discussing the potential merits of the film, rather than focusing on the recent struggles of superhero movies or the underperformance of the Sony Spider-Man Universe. One of the key topics among fans has been the film's rating, with many hoping that the third movie would adopt the R-rating, which they believe the character deserves. However, a recent update has shed light on this topic, and it might not be the news that comic fans were hoping for, although it's a decision that could benefit the box office.
Will Venom: The Last Dance Be R-Rated?
For those unfamiliar, Venom: The Last Dance starring Tom Hardy, is the third and final installment of the Venom solo franchise. The first two films, Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, were both rated PG-13, which led to significant discussions among fans who felt that Venom’s dark and gritty storyline warranted an R-rating. Despite this, studios often prefer PG-13 ratings to attract a wider audience and maximize profits, and it seems that Venom 3 will follow the same path.
According to X scooper Cryptic4KQual, who has been providing updates on Venom: The Last Dance the film will retain its PG-13 rating, just like the previous two films. The decision is largely motivated by box office considerations. For instance, while movies like Deadpool and Wolverine earned over a billion dollars despite their R-ratings, they could have potentially earned more if they had been accessible to younger audiences. With that in mind, Sony has opted to keep the PG-13 rating for the final installment in the trilogy to bring in more box office revenue.
