Marvel Studios President Kevin Fiege Now Says That R-Rated MCU Movies Are "Not Out Of The Question"
Though Kevin Feige has always maintained that the MCU would remain an R-rating free zone, the Marvel Studios president may have softened his stance on that somewhat. More past the jump...
After the box office dominance of Deadpool, Kevin Feige was asked on numerous occasions if he'd ever consider taking the Marvel Cinematic Universe into R-rated territory. Feige always stated that there had been no discussions about this, and it wasn't something he felt would ultimately benefit the studio or its fans.
However, is it possible that after Logan enjoyed similar critical and commercial success that he's begun to rethink his stance?
During an interview with Allocine, Feige was once again asked about the possibility of an R-rated Marvel movie, and although he does reaffirm that there are no current plans in place, his response definitely seems less definitive than usual:
"Currently we don’t work on R-Rated movies, it’s not out of the question but currently, no."
Obviously this shouldn't be taken as an indication that Marvel is going to start working on a series of R-rated projects any time soon, but it does sound like it's something Feige and co. would consider, at least.
The question is, which characters under the MCU umbrella would benefit from an R-rated big-screen outing? Sound off in the usual place!
