SUICIDE SQUAD Has Been Rated PG-13, But It Sounds Like It Will Push The Boundaries
It's hardly a surprise to learn that Suicide Squad has been rated PG-13, but based on the description for why ("disturbing behaviour"?!), it sounds like it only narrowly missed out on getting an R...
As expected, Suicide Squad has been rated PG-13, something we've known was always going to be the plan. In fact, that was confirmed by producer Charles Roven last year when he said, "Our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13." It seems like the story of Task Force X is going to be on that edge anyway, something evident from the information revealed in the Tweet below about why the MPAA have gone for PG-13.
It probably isn't going to be too hard to release an R-Rated "Ultimate Cut" somewhere down the line based on that description, and chances are that this is the kind of comic book movie parents will want to think twice about taking their children too. For fans of these characters though, it sounds pretty much perfect. Expect much more to be revealed about Suicide Squad over the next couple of months...
