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!

No surprise about the rating. The real surprise will be when this flick delivers. Color me excited.

The train sequence still looks like shit. It's also been done to death. One of the mission impossibles, Skyfall, Spider-Man 2, Lone Ranger, the list goes on and on. It just bores me now.

X2 was PG 13 and look at the mansion invasion. Wolverine goes berserk on everyone. There's flashbacks of Logan killing people and emerging bloody and nude... X3 had a nude mystique and origins had decapitation. So I dont think the rating will be a problem

not surprised but it would be nice if they released a stronger harder cut for the blu-ray release.

This story doesn't need an R-rating, and the action can still be intense and violent as long as it's nor gory or whatever. Cool with me. One of the only Wolverine films that would need an R-rating is a faithful Weapon X one.

So annoying...is there no room for R-rated films anymore?

I grew up on cool R-rated action movies & it's deplorable that the audiences & studios shy away from them.

DREDD is a recent cool R-rated movie few supported.
Wolverine is a character that is so violent & brutal he needs R-rated feature.

I usually hate the thing that people says that a movie has to be rated R to be cool, it's stupid and adolescent, but with wolverine it's something that is bundled with the character... i only hope that this PG13 is just a legal thing and that, for logic's sake, a man with claws, will have blood on its claws!

I'm a big Wolverine fan and PG-13 is fine as I would want my boys to see it.

When every CBM hits the theater's.....I upload lots of Digital comics on their tablets. It gets them into the characters and interested in Marvel/DC.

So its a good thing!
