Even With PG-13 Rating, ‘Venom’ Movie Toys Are Not Currently Planned

Published

Armed with a PG-13 rating, you might expect Ruben Fleischer’s Venom to spawn a toy line, but Hasbro reveals in a chat with Screen Geek this week that no such toy line is currently planned. What about those new Venom figures you’ve been seeing on shelves lately? Contrary to many reports, those are *not* tied to the movie in any way, which first has to prove itself at the box office before getting its own toy line. Makes sense, especially considering the movie was at one point going to be arriving in theaters with a not-so-kid-friendly “R” rating.

Right now, we don’t have any product in the works based off the upcoming Sony Venom movie,” Hasbro’s Dwight Stall told the site. “We would have to wait with how it does, see what the fan response is and if it’s something that they want, then we would look and try and figure on doing some. But right now, there’s no plans other than Classic Venom for this year.”

Hasbro’s Ryan Ting added, “And it would depend on how the movie and the property performs. I’ve read online about Tom Hardy being signed on for a multi-picture deal. So if they make a lot of Venom movies and they’re successful, I imagine we’d look into making those movie-type stuff, maybe more in the style of the comics, but in reference to the types of characters they’re bringing to the screen. Those types of decisions.”

The good news? Venom is set to slay the box office in October.
