Deadpool & Wolverine has been given an official “R” rating by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
We all knew the flick would be rated R, but at least the MPA offers why: Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references.
When Disney purchased Fox, CEO Bob Iger confirmed they would be going with an R rating instead of PG-13 which the MCU movies are known for.
“It’s f-cking awesome”
Likewise, recently at CinemaCon, the head of Marvel, Kevin Feige, actually dropped f-bombs to promote Deadpool & Wolverine being rated R.
“It’s f-cking awesome,” Feige told the audience made up of movie theater industry professionals with mention that he got his start working on the Fox X-Men movies.
Feige continued, “…Almost a quarter of a century ago, working with Hugh Jackman again as Wolverine… It is incredible, it is extremely exciting and I hope you don’t mind me saying, it’s f-cking awesome. It’s f-cking awesome, and the reason I can say it’s f-cking awesome is because it’s an R-rated movie. It’s an R-rated movie.”
