It Looks Like DEADPOOL Will Be Rated PG-13
In an update that's sure to disappoint fans, we have word that Fox's Deadpool movie has succumbed to that dreaded PG-13 rating. Though star Ryan Reynolds was fighting for the R, his latest Tweets on the matter would seem to confirm this news. Click on for more...
We know Ryan Reynolds was campaigning hard for an R-rating when his solo Merc With A Mouth movie finally slices its way into theaters, but it seems he's lost the battle; and any slicing will commence in a nice, safe, PG-13 environment. JoBlo reckon they've confirmed this with a source at Fox, but even if you were sceptical given today's date, the following Tweet from Reynolds at the very least suggests that his pleas for an R-rating have fallen on deaf ears.
Of course Tim Miller is only shooting the movie now so there's still time for this to change, but it sounds as if the studio is pretty dead set on bringing this in at a PG-13. Deadpool also stars Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, and Ed Skrein and will hit theaters on February 12, 2016.
