Well, we finally have it. The long awaited age rating has been confirmed to be a PG-13 by none other than director James Mangold himself on Twitter when questioned by a fan.
This should come as no surprise to many of you, as Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men are perhaps one of FOX's biggest incomes of money through film. It would be deemed perhaps foolish to cut off a large amount of audience by rating the film any higher than PG-13, but personally, I think there is quite a chance of a Director's Cut when the DVD/Blu-Ray has been released.
Let me know what you think by sounding off in the usual place below.
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality. Directed By James Mangold, The Wolverine hits theaters in 2D & 3D on July 26, 2013!
