We recently got our first look at Justice League: Warworld and the movie's rating has now been confirmed by the MPA.
As first reported by Bloody Disgusting (via Toonado.com), the first meeting of the Justice League in the "Tomorrowverse" is going to be rated R for "Some bloody violence."
It now joins the likes of Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, Constantine: The House of Mystery, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Injustice by boasting a rating that makes it suitable for adults only. Clearly, things are going to get brutal on Warworld, though we're sure a little cartoon violence won't deter most parents!
After that sneak peek and this news, a trailer for Justice League: Warworld should drop imminently.
"Until now, the Justice League has been a loose association of superpowered individuals," reads the synopsis. "But when they are swept away to Warworld, a place of unending brutal gladiatorial combat, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the others must somehow unite to form an unbeatable resistance able to lead an entire planet to freedom.”
The Boys and Batman: The Long Halloween star Jensen Ackles will lead the cast as Batman/Officer Wayne, with Darren Criss as Superman/Agent Kent and Stana Katic as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince.
As for the rest of the ensemble, that's made up of Ike Amadi as Martian Manhunter/J’onn J’onzz, Troy Baker as Jonah Hex, Matt Bomer as Old Man, Roger C. Cross as Machiste, Brett Dalton as Bat Lash, Trevor Duvall as Drifter, John DiMaggio as Lobo, Robin Atkin Downes as Mongul, Frank Grillo as Agent Faraday, Rachel Kimsey as Mariah Romanova and David Lodge as Sheriff, and Damian O’Hare as Deimos and Teddy Sears as Warlord.
The movie will be executive produced by Butch Lukic (Batman: The Long Halloween) and Sam Register, with longtime Batman franchise executive producer Michael Uslan also involved. DC vets Jim Krieg and Kimberly S. Moreau produce.
Jeff Wamester (Legion of Super-Heroes) directs Justice League: Warworld from a script by Jeremy Adams (Supernatural), Ernie Albacker (Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War) & Josie Campbell (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power).
As of right now, Justice League: Warlord doesn't have a confirmed release date.
