Venom Director and Tom Hardy Unsure If Film Will Get R or PG-13 Rating
While there is still no confirmation on if Sony's Venom film will be receiving a PG-13 or R rating, the director, Ruben Fleischer, and Venom himself, Tom Hardy, have spoken up about the ongoing question.
Although many fans expected Venom to receive an R-rating, multiple people at Sony have been reportedly working to push the boundaries of a PG-13 film, without crossing over into a film that is R-rated, "so future Spider-Man spin-offs from Sony can retain their family-friendliness that the wall-climber is known for."
From Total Film magazine, as reported on by ComicBook, Fleischer spoke up and said that they "pushed the envelope" with this film as to stay as true as possible to the source material.

Why Lois Lane’s Arrowverse Debut Matters
This year's Arrowverse crossover keeps sounding better and better. Not only will this three-part event mark the debut of Ruby Rose's Batwoman, we now know that Superman and Lois Lane will be joining the fun. At this point, we're only a couple heroes short of a full-fledged Justice League team-up on The CW. But in some ways, it's Lois' Arrowverse debut that's actually the most intriguing announcement. It suggests a larger change in DC's approach to how its characters are handled on television.
For all of DC's many successes on the small screen over the past several decades, one annoying problem has cropped up again and again. DC has shown a strange reluctance to allow multiple incarnations of a character to exist simultaneously. For example, Smallville explored practically every corner of the DCU, but A-Listers like Batman, Barry Allen and Wonder Woman were never allowed to appear on the show because those characters were tied up with other film and TV projects.
