Da utviklingen av Venom-filmen startet, så var det faktisk meningen at den skulle ha en R-Rating, altså at det kunne være mer ekstrem vold, men som utviklingen gikk fremover ble denne fjernet. Filmen endte dog med å bli en stor suksess, og nå er en etterfølger under utvikling, og denne kan få R-Ratingen pga Joker.
I et intervju med CinemaBlend forteller produceren av filmen, Matt Tolmach, at nå som Joker klarte å trekke så mange til tross for sin R-Rating, så er det mye mulig at Venom 2 også vil klare det å trekke et stort publikum.
"I mean, I think you always have to think about [it], now that that works. Having said that, our movie worked really well. Our franchise exists as it is, and I don't think anybody is looking to just say, 'Hey, they [did it]!' We have a place in the world. So it isn't like suddenly everybody's considering what to do with the rating."
"I think what Joker does is it tells you that you can succeed. For a very long time, that was the narrative. And Deadpool sort of wrestled that to the turf, and then Logan, but for a long time, that was considered totally forbidden [...] So you know, I think it's the greatest thing in the world that R-rated movies are being embraced by massive audiences. And it just means that there are more opportunities for that kind of storytelling."
