Deadpool was an essential film so that the studios were not afraid of the maximum age rating. At the time, the so-called R rating represented a risk for teenagers to attend cinemas, as this categorization requires that minors be accompanied by an adult to attend the screening. However, the film was a real success and opened the doors for productions such as Logan or the most recent Joker could release with the same rating.
Now in an interview for Collider, the director of the two previous installments, Tim Miller has ensured that the third Deadpool movie would not need to have an r rating to function within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just when the director is promoting the second season of Love Death and robots, the director reflected on making movies before and after Disney’s purchase of Fox. “He is still that character. You can remove the R-rated parts if you want and it would still be Deadpool if Ryan Reynolds played it, “Miller stated.
But fans of the mercenary who love his scenes and politically incorrect language have nothing to fear. A few months ago, the head of the UCM Kevin Feige assured that the script for the third installment was being worked on and that it would have an R rating. Aside from securing the rating, Feige praised Ryan Reynolds’ work as the antihero: “Ryan is a very busy and very successful actor. We have a series of things that we have already announced that we now have to do, but it is exciting that work has already started on the third installment (…) Once again he’s a very different type of character in the MCU and Ryan is a force of nature., which is amazing to see him bringing the character to life.
Deadpool 3 is expected to begin shooting in 2022. In the meantime, we’ll have to settle for whatever information Feige and the production development team provide. Can Deadpool finally enter such a different universe?
