Venom: Let There Be Carnage pits its titular character against a remorseless serial killer, but much of that violence may be off-screen, as the film is receiving the same PG-13 rating as its predecessor, Sony has announced (via IGN).
The MPA's Film Ratings site lists the reasons for each film, and for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, we can look forward to "intense sequences of violence and action, some strong language, disturbing material, and suggestive references." The first Venom film, which raked in $853 million at the worldwide box office, was also rated PG-13. There, it was for "intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for language."
The sequel stars Tom Hardy as reporter Eddie Brock who, following the first film, now lives alongside the symbiote Venom, and introduces Woody Harrelson as the serial killer Cletus Kasady, who appeared briefly in a post-credits stinger for the first film. Kasady becomes infected with a piece of the Venom symbiote, which feeds off of the murderer's intentions and becomes its own organism known as Carnage. The story is most likely adapting pieces of the Maximum Carnage storyline from the Marvel comics, albeit without the addition of Spider-Man in the mix.
