Well this should come as a surprise! According to The Daily Superhero, Marvel Studios/Disney may be the reason behind the ongoing delays of Fox's planned R-Rated flick. Director Tim Miller and Lauren Schuler-Donner have addressed the inevitable delays in the past, ranging from Ryan Reynolds being unavailable to trying to get the studio on board... Well, apparently the latter may very well be true. As usual, the site has asked to take this with a grain of salt. According to their insiders, Marvel and Disney apparently aren't too keen on an R-Rated adaptation of the character and are instead asking for a PG-13 adjustment of the script. The site notes that the reason behind this request is due to the "increased popularity of the character".

What could this mean for the future of Fox's upcoming string of films? We've heard Tim Miller has shot a test-reel and Ryan Reynolds is ready to go, but things sure seem messy behind the scenes. As of right now, we can only wait and see what happens. What do you guys think? Sound off below!

I reckon Marvel is smart enuff to realize some properties are for adults only.

Crikey - they have Marvel MAX in the comics.

PG Deadpool can still appear in other films but he needs to be R rated in his own film.

Also Punisher needs to R Rated

This is fake cause Marvel doesn't have that kind of "say-so" over other movie properties

Also R rating isn't need outside of "street cred"

You can have enough blood, action and cursing in a PG-13 movie. Usually its 1 small thing that'll push a movie a studio want to be PG-13 into the R rated area. Something small and stupid like 8 decapitations over 7.

The new Robocop didn't even need the R rating and it still had it's gross factor and a body that was blown up and missing limbs

Disney needs to stay the [frick] out of this. Deadpool is the only Fox Marvel project I m looking forward to seeing, along with X-Force.

This doesn't make sense since FOX, not Marvel/Disney, own the movie rights. They can make Deadpool into Baraka with laser eyes and a closed mouth if they wanted to. Oh wait.

Sad really.
Deadpool & a few other characters like The Punisher need the R-rated treatment.
Anything less is a joke. Wolverine should also be only R-rated but they watered him down.
Young kids can watch Spidey & such..Deadpool needs to be crazy & violent.

Deadpool + "R" Rating = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think we can handle an adult Deadpool film (awesome) more than we could handle a PG 13 Deadpool. It would be the one time that something, toned down on violence, could CAUSE more violence.

Not eager to see a Deadpool movie but I'll watch it if it's ever made.

this is bullsh!t Marvel Studios/Disney dont have a say its more to do with FOX Studio. the real reason is since FOX introduce the character in X-Men Origins Wolverine that movie was a PG-13 they wont jump ship and make the character a R-Rated just like that. Also FOX dont trust Ryan Reynolds as a leading man cause all his comic book movies that he starred in bombed big time.

Why are people believing this bullshit? Marvel has no say in what Fox does with their properties.

If anything I'd picture a Deadpool film being more bloody and destructive over language. For a PG-13 film they pushed The Wolverine to be a close R-rating. (Just in case if this happened to be true in a twisted parallel universe somewhere out there.) I think Disney would be really pushing it. Just because Deadpool appears in Ultimate Spider-Man they way kids can watch him doesn't mean that's the character we ALL must see on screen together. I agree that the Phase 2 movies have been pretty "meh" so far because they've been lacking that general "Wow Factor" that sold me within the beginning of Phase 1. I don't think that they're rushing films out or anything because they have a good amount of years to do so for each franchise. But yeah, I think TWS will sell me again. But I just hope they seriously sit back and think about the "now" of these franchises instead of eagerly planning to place out other sequels (not that I'm against seeing a full trilogy at all) but I just really want them to sit back and look at where they went wrong and where they went right in their past films. Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger and the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier are my favorite genre if marvel movies. I felt the quality was/is going to be more nurtured. Guardians, Thor and the Avengers are entertainment based films to me. Nothing too serious but the conflict is well known to keep audiences interested.

I just wonder how they'll fit him in the X-Universe. Apparently he's in the X-Force script as well... And of course, I don't expect his solo movie to take the universe all that seriously (pros and cons). Especially if they're going to put him next to Wolverine (again) or Cable.

Why would Marvel ask Fox not to do an R rated Deadpool film when Fox released an R rated cut of the Wolverine? That makes no sense whatsoever. Fox can do what they want as far as I know. They own the rights.

The R-rating is so overblown. A great mind can write a great script. Good storytelling is not defined by gimmicks to arouse baser instincts in a few fanboys. Spurting blood, excessive vulgar language and naked women are merely some false standard for quality. Wolverine was fine the way it was. Deadpool can be done PG-13.

i call bullshit,if another studio wants to make an r-rated movie they're aloud,disney nor marvel studios can say anything about it.

i thought this was gonna be over deadpool not being a mutant & there was gonna be an issue over rights.

@ mcnyagano

i own the unleashed edition of the wolverine with all the added blood & extended scenes & its got exactly the same rating as the normal cut in the uk.

why would fox care what marvel and disney say? they own the rights. A PG Deadpool won't work.

Dumb

McNyagano - 2/27/2014, 6:46 AM
Wait, there's people actually believing this bullshit?!



Fox owns the rights, they can do as they please. Marvel/Disney surely has no power or say over the matter. If they did, I'm sure Marvel would have liked to have a word or two with Fox about Deadpool's treatment in Origins. This is more of a Fox thing because if I recall correctly, they said the 50 million budget was too high. This whole thing is just absurd. lol
