The upcoming Venom film has been confirmed to have a running time of 1 hour and 52 minutes, and has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA.
As reported by Collider (and verified by AMC), the nearly two-hour long film will not be rated R, despite hopes fans had that it would follow in Deadpool and Logan’s footsteps.
Though perhaps disappointing for some, this news has been expected for some time. Sony had been pushing for a PG-13 rating from the beginning, even if Venom’s director and lead actor weren’t so sure. Reports claimed Sony wanted to push the content in the movie right up to the edge of an R-rating without actually getting into the 17-and-over age bracket.
