I am not surprised. I kind of predicted this and again some did say I will been far-fetched but I saw it coming, when I even said Disney is only making deadpool 3 by the skin of teeth and because they have no choice.

I am sorry X-Force and X-Factor fans , who were thinking disney will do more R after deadpool 3.

Oh well, I hope Deadpool 3 can go out with a bang, Ryan Reynolds deserves it, I would not be surprised if he decides to do PG 13 Deadpool movies, most actors need to work.

Also does this mean Blade will not be R? I thought that was sealed but not official?

Kevin Feige

"We have never been held back by it," Feige said of sticking to PG-13 ratings. "If we ever are, then certainly there could be a discussion to be had …. but that just hasn't been the case yet."

Does any other Marvel movie benefit from being "R"?

Wolverine, Blade, Punisher, X-force, Something with a supervillain as the lead..They are a couple of characters and a couple of stories that could benefit. But the difference in R rating is primarily the use of more blood and cursing when we are talking about these movies specifically. It isn't as a big deal as some people would have you believe drug use, nudity and sex aren't really a thing for these movies. So it really just comes down to how much you care about Wolverine or some superhero saying f*ck and if you care seeing violence completed with blood and gore or the same action happening with it cutting away right before you the gore or blood matters to you.

I think it is more than that, drug use, nudity and sex are not the basis of R alone.additionally they only work among if it is written well. when it is not written well you get reactions like this



Star Trek Picard is a total fail because it is trying to be what trek is not suppose to be. Wolverine, X-Men, Punisher, X-Force , many times will be better with R or stronger pg because some of the a stories will demand it to add the extra realism or more. Also DOFP had drug use, nudity and sex and stayed PG 13 not MCU PG but still PG, Although Hugh Jackman talked about the not censorship of the movie.

Maybe Hugh Jackman playing wolverine for so long and having it be a signature role for his career will be a blessing for marvel, because marvel does not have to use wolverine in their movies since toning the violence, back story and grittiness of wolverine will cause backlash, so marvel may just avoid all that with the excuse of wolverine's story has already been told and we want to focus on other characters, it's perfect for them.

Drug use, I think, is the only viable reason for one of these films to have an R rating. Captain America is, in essence, the product of drug use. Goblin formula, many goblin weapons are based on drugs. They tone it down so they don't an R rating, but would it really be a bad thing for Marvel to buck Disney on the issue the way they bucked the CCA in the late 60s in Spider-Man? Tell a good, poignant story that is difficult and challenging, and informative, to the audience.

But the same argument doesn't work if you start taking Marvel into George C. Scott Hardcore territory or 80s bloody action flicks

Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be bad...

The super serum in FA was used for good, it was done to make Steve a hero. it was not drugs in the sense of drug abuse. Us viewers were not meant to see that at all. it was beyond tond down.

Goblin in Spiderman 1 was more of a scientist, who wanted to push the limits of science. Norma fell more into the mad scientist category than a drug abuser.

Neither actions of drug abuse is similarly written to Charles Xavier, where it is more clear, Xavier is self- addicted to drugs and he abuses it by free will because he is depressed and also to get high. You also see Xavier using the needles and syringes by himself. it was flat out the mutant version heroin. that was not toned down, it right there in your face because the story demanded it. That should and could have made the movie R but it stayed pg 13. I have this feeling that had deadpool 1 come out before DOFP, DOFP would have gotten R.

Also can I also say all three movies were not Disney related. I don't see MCU writing the goblin part to any spiderman movie now and FA was in the beginning phase of marvel, there are a lot of things about FA and Iron Man 1, that will not happen today and DOFP is just a different category all together.

Yes and no - many of the R rated films were Marvel - just not the MCU. Deadpool, Blade, Punisher, Logan. With Disney getting all these properties back, that variety has naturally shrunk - I don't find that a healthy change. Sure, there's nothing wrong with staying "on brand", but they've absorbed the other brands that were providing all the contrasts!

I also have no problem either with staying on brand but if they keep buying all this other property, they have to extend the brand, I said this already on the Snyder cut thread. the rating of a movie should be for the director to decide, since the line can be blurred.

whoever directs any film relating to XMEN, BLADE, PUNISHER even in PG 13 will be sticking to the perimeters of Fiege, that is going to be hard when that director already knows what has already been done before. it can become too much of a false pretence.

Also what is family-friendly by today's standard? why is it much lower than the 90s and 00s? Did deadpool 2 even have nudity? how different was pg 13 deadpool 2 to the r version?

I am reading the fan reaction on comic book movie and they are all crying fowl because they thought they were promised an R rated Blade with Mahershala Ali

Do some marvel movies benefit R? Well given that I have said R is complex, Fox in their later years with the older cast of actors were bluring the lines between R and PG, I think it just has more to do with what you want to put in your film, this has been going on since the 1990s cartoons. However All ratings should be open with directors individually calling the shots.

Kevin Feige

I think that is just Feige saving face that Disney has limited R to one movie they had no choice with . Feige has said a lot of things that never came to pass or reached what it was meant to reach.

Look at Feige's own record, he plans movies 5 years before it is out. on a given day, Deadpool 3 would have mapped out x-factor or x-force , however there are no plans because it ends with Deadpool 3.

And to think the biggest worry was once about deadpool 3 is R in name only.

From that very article you linked to:

During today's TCA, Kevin Feige revealed that there are currently no plans for more R-rated projects beyond Deadpool 3, but didn't rule it out if any specific characters or stories were to necessitate the stronger rating down the line.

Just because they don't have any plans for it at the moment doesn't mean they won't ever do one again.

I guess I'm the only dude in here who likes Feige's "family-friendly" approach to superhero filmmaking. I never was interested in gore, nudity and course language in comic book movies. So I'm cool with this decision.

You don't need an "R" rating to make a good Blade film. You really shouldn't need it to make a good Deadpool film but that's another story.

Speaking of Blade, I just saw this news . I guess it is official. Blade reboot is PG 13

Blade Reboot to Be Rated PG-13, Deadpool 3 Is the MCU's Only R-Rated Movie


This kind of reminds me of the new mutants issue, when some said, you dont need R to make a horror film, now I know new mutants had many issues with the push backs and reshoots and the disney/fox merge but that was still a good point.

Also Are there r rated vampire movies apart from Twilight? I also remember the last 2 twilight films blurring the R and PG lines

[Vakanai]

I am not surprised. Kind of disappointed, especially for Blade, but not surprised.

I don't think anyone is against a family friendly approach - I think the issue is more the lack of variety. I think the genre, any genre, is healthiest when there's a wide range of styles, tones, and ratings.

There are lots of good R rated cartoons, but not from Disney animation. There are lots of good R rated superhero movies, but not from Marvel. There is nothing wrong, and an awful lot healthy, about a brand staying within what it does well.
