Sony Pictures’ ‘excessively menacing’ Venom movie trailer deemed too violent
Sony Pictures’ trailer for its American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics, Venom, has been banned by the ad watchdog for its trailer which was found to be too violent and “excessively menacing”.
The trailer was described as “terrifying”, “frightening” and “distressing”, with one complaint arguing the trailer “shows a horrifying dark image of a monster, with sharp teeth, grabbing people by the neck. Seriously full on for a toddler to see”.
