Marvel’s superhero films have always been PG-13, but that’s a tradition that’s about to change thanks to Disney’s acquisition of one of the comic world’s most violent, foul-mouthed characters. In a recent interview with Collider, Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige confirmed that Deadpool 3 will be rated R. He also revealed that the character would officially be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which means that we could be getting some interesting team-ups popularized by comic series such as Spider-Man/Deadpool.

Wait a minute. Was this ever in question?

The Whole "Marvel's Superhero Films have always been PG-13" thing is a blatant lie.

The first two Deadpool films (2016 and 2018) were both rated R.

Yeah, after Disney bought Fox in 2019. People were pretty concerned Deadpool 3 was gonna get f*cked over. Looks like Kevin Feige won't let that happen though. Now everyone can breathe a sigh of relief - assuming Disney doesn't f*ck anything else up with the movie.

Yeah but that was when Fox was standalone, before Disney got their mitts on it.

I had forgotten Disney had Acquired Fox, though to be fair I don't really keep up with media companies.

We'll see if this actually gets into production by 2022. With the slate of junk they've piled up it would have to be fast-tracked for that to happen but anything is possible. As COVID rages on, even with vaccines, the lists just keep getting longer and longer for all the projects in development.
