Venom star Tom Hardy recently spoke with ComicsExplained, and showed a little remorse when talking about the scenes that didn’t end up in the final film.
Hardy stated:
“There are, like, 30 to 40 minutes’ worth of scenes that aren’t in this movie… all of them. Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes. You know what I mean? They just never made it in.”
Many people are torn between wanting the film to be rated R to allow for some of the hardcore action that fans enjoyed so much in productions like Logan, while others are suggesting a PG-13 rating could help tie Venom into other PG-13 films, like a potential Spider-Man crossover.
Venom producer Avi Arad addressed recently addressed the rating issue, stating that producing an R-rated film was never a serious consideration. Instead, the intent from the start was to allow a younger audience to familiarize themselves with the character.
