An upcoming Marvel movie most had forgotten was even a thing has suddenly grabbed the internet’s attention after it’s been confirmed that it’s set to be R-rated. That’s right, Sony’s Kraven the Hunter will officially be the first of the studio’s Spider-Man spinoffs to sport the mature audience certificate. Initially, this resulted in a flurry of genuine excitement for the film, which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the savage supervillain, but obviously, this is the Sony-verse we’re talking about so that was never going to last long.
Now that the news has sunk in a little, fans are complaining that, if Sony is willing to give Kraven an R-rating, why didn’t it give its prior films the same treatment — when they would surely be more deserving of it? As Twitter user Myron hilariously pointed out, it makes no sense that Venom and Venom: Let There be Carnage, about an “alien goo monster who eats human brains,” and “science vampire” flick Morbius were PG-13 while “Van Pelt over here” gets an R.
