AVI ARAD: Well, we know the next one.
MATT TOLMACH:Morbiusis the next one.
So Jared Leto is definitely doing it?
TOLMACH: Yes, sir.
ARAD: Oh yeah.

Both of them, very hard to get them to do a movie.
You actually cannot get them.
That’s what he wanted to do.

Who wrote the most recent draft?
They wrote the script.
The interesting thing aboutMorbiusis that’s another character that can go a whole bunch of different ways.
Do you envision all of these Spider-Man spinoffs being PG 13?
ARAD: Again, what I said to you before, it depends on the story.
If the success of the story depends on being R-rated…
TOLMACH: Then it could be, yeah.
ARAD: Then, of course, we can do it.
As I took my grandson, seven, to the recording session ofVenom.
And he had the time of his life.
I think what Avi’s saying is right.
So, that’s out there.
you might succeed to a staggering degree.
ARAD: We couldn’t have doneSuicide SquadPG-13.
Just language, orDeadpool, just language.
On language alone, which is obscene.
TOLMACH: Without compromising the character.
ARAD: We didn’t compromise anywhere.
You saw the movies.
There is no compromise.
TOLMACH: Then I think it’s absolutely possible.
ARAD: You know what?
When you hear Venom…forget Venom.
He’s a tortured soul.
What you have to show is, what is the motivation?
