Yes. Apparently this leak had something to do with Hot Toys.
I love the look of the Mk 85, its got Tony's classic colour distribution, gold upper arms/thighs and red boots/gloves. Similarly Caps got his classic scale mail, I just wish it was brighter

All those pointy boys in his mouth and I bet we won't even get to see him use them
It really feels so strange. The way Venom looks and move you would expect some gore. The fight starting with Eddie having to say "Mask!" to tell the symbiote to come up (and he replies "Copy.") was really goofy to me. The symbiote freaks out a bit from the flashbangs, which is a nice detail. Then he jumps towards one cop on a balcony. Oh fuck, Venom is pissed, this guy is dead. Oh wait, he just threw him off the balcony (I was not expecting Wilhelm). Then he grabs Loki in disguise as a SWAT member because no way a human would not break and bleed from that kind of punishment. Yeah, PG-13 starts to show. I'm not even a Venom fan and I'm already disappointed.
It hurts so much to see Venom in a PG-13 movie. He deserves better than this pajama party.
We don't get to see actors doing costume tests for MCU very often, do we?
To be fair, Venom murders the shit out of criminals, not cops.
Man, if this had hard-R goofball gore, I think it'd actually end up being a really fun time. I love the way Venom looks, sounds, and moves, but the fact that they pussied out on making him a "lethal" protector is gonna be the thing that kills this entire stupid venture. This would honestly be a totally fine movie if they retained the violence and made it so that he already had the symbiote so that they could weasel it into the MCU later. Hell, get creative and allude to his origin through flashback, like Deadpool did. You don't even have to show Spider-Man, just imply that they've crossed paths and Eddie is looking to rebuild his life on the west coast. But there's no blood, no Spider-Man, and, according to some leaks I saw, no fucking Carnage beyond two quick cameos from Cletus Kassiday, so what's the actual goddamn point of this entire thing, beyond satisfying Avi Arad's weird boner for having a Venom movie?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't particulary recall venom being a paticulary gory-esque character but rather as a hulking rival/antagonist for spiderman. unless he has been depicted actively tearing apart people for the sake of being capable of. at least the eddie brock venom.

I didn't think that it looked that good either. It was cool, but the Civil War / Homecoming suits looked better. This seems like a nice mix.
The entire distinction between spiderman and venom is venom demands permanent consequences for breaking his code. Peter will let any fool go on the prospect they can turn over or be rehabilitated, Venom especially after during and right Brock until they reunited again pretty much killed anyone who crossed him or committed any kind of violent crime.
Eddie Brock Venom really wasnt all that violent, not like in the "rip and tear" bloody hard-R rating kind of sense. He did kill people, and he did eat a dudes head once, but that happened offscreen and was in a story where he freaks out about having done it. Carnage is the symbiote who's really R-Rated, since he's a psychotic serial killer obsessed with ripping people apart and uses shapeshifted daggers, knives, and blades. Even recently when he became Venom again i think the most violent think he did was smash a dude into a wall so hard he died. Ultimate is where Eddie Brock Venom was really more of a violent cannibal but again i think most of it was off screen iirc.
I hope they'll go for a combination. He wears the nanotech version everywhere, but he can combine it with a regular suit. Add in the Iron Legion providing spares and he can keep going much longer. You get the durability of a tank and the flexibility of nanotech in weapons and adaptability. Imagine turning the regular suit into a Hulkbuster like suit by flying in pieces and combining them.
think of him like wolverine, you've seen him in more PG and PG-13 media because that's the norm, but he totally works best with an R rating
why isn't venom r rated? wasn't one of the big things touted about it when they started production that it was definitely going to be R rated and gory?
Because Sony for some reason insists on being shit at anything comic related, sans holding fan favorite characters hostage for decades.
Sony got cold feet. Same thing happened with The Wolverine, but Fox at least had the excuse an R rated film starring a superhero hadn't been tested yet.
I hate to break it to you all, but it's not like that only 'cause Logan was filmed and published with a R-rating in mind and turned out fucking well then every comic book movie which isn't R-rated is necessarily going to be utter shit
Dude, violent superheroes/villains like Wolverine, Deadpool and Venom work best when you don't have to force scenes with them to be artificially non-violent, like in the Singer X-Men films, it's straight up weird that Wolverine tears all of these people apart with his claws but there's never blood and he never swears. Venom has that written all over it. He should be ripping people limb from limb and tearing them apart with his teeth. Plus, like, it's Sony so it's already guaranteed to be bad, 100% they're going to shoehorn loads of unnecessary references in there so they can plan to launch into a Spider-Man extended universe that nobody wants or has asked for.
Considering it was originally planned and filmed to be R-rated, trimming it down to a PG-13 reeks of the film being shit and the lower rating means they might be able to make back their budget as opposed to taking a huge loss
Di$ney cro$$ marketing potential, and financial return profile. pg13 movies make about 4 times what r movies do on average, and this movie looks distinctly average sans casting.
Disney is boring and plays shit way too safe. Avengers was a nice breath of fresh air tho and is an exception. Otherwise, most of their superhero films have become too similar. Deadpool and especially Logan were huge breathes of fresh air in the superhero genre and proves you don't need to play it safe to have a successful film. It also shows R films are financially viable options for superhero films. Disney owning everything honestly scares me because I am afraid they won't innovate in the superhero genre and will rely on the same basic premise for each film, rarely reaching out and experimenting with new ideas.
not every movie that isn't r-rated is bad, yeah, no one said that tho. this just looks like one of the movies that are. it was written and filmed as r-rated, it's not a good sign that they chopped it up - off screen, so no blood - to make it pg-13
A really easy way to make a bad film watchable is to fill it with gore and tiddies, so the fact that Sony had so little faith in it that they'd rather bank on a general audience helping them recoup their funds than put out something that'd end up being inevitably compared to the Deadpool movies bodes very poorly.
I mean, even if you place an R-rating script on screen chances are kids are still going to watch it.
I saw Watchmen in theatres, and someone brought there like 5 year old kid.
A great many millennial are abjectly and dramatically allergic to those things in public. A pornhub can attest, not so much in private.
