The information was shared by scooper @CanWeGetToast (via Rogen's prior experience with adult-themed comic book content includes roles on Preacher, The Boys, Invincible, and The Boys Presents: Diabolical. The reports state that Sony plans to make the animated Venom project R-rated. This rating aligns with Rogen's previous work and marks a shift from the PG-13 tone of the live-action Venom trilogy. 'Honestly, probably fear,' Rogen said in a 2023 Polygon interview when asked why he had avoided Marvel or DC projects. He added, 'It's mostly a fear of how would we plug into the system they have in place…we're control freaks!' Sony has not made any official announcements regarding this animated Venom film.
