Despite reports studio Twentieth Century Fox were set on a PG-13 rating (they can sell more tickets, obviously, if the rating hovers around the PG mark), the producers of “Deadpool” have gotten their wish : The comic book chronicle will come with an R rating when it hits theaters in February 12.
Star Ryan Reynolds actually utilised fan’s worrisome attitude towards a PG-13 rating for an April Fools Day joke he ran with on Twitter, before coming clean… and confirming that the movie will indeed be R-rated.
February 12th. There will be blood. Guns. F-bombs. And graphic, expertly lit French Unicorn sex. #deadpoolRatedR @deadpoolmovie #Aprilpools
