Ryan Reynolds Is ‘Surprised’ Disney Allowed ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ to Be So Hard R: ‘It’s a Huge Step for Them’ and I’m Not Trying to ‘Sound Condescending’
Ryan Reynolds is surprised Disney allowed him to make an R-rated superhero movie with "Deadpool and Wolverine."
Comic books fans feared Disney might tamper down the franchise’s R-rating given its commitment to family entertainment, but Reynolds and director Shawn Levy were granted permission to continue with the raunchy humor. I think it’s a huge step for them,” Reynolds said about Disney letting a film be R-rated “I mean, it adds a whole other color to this kaleidoscopic wheel that is that company and the different people that they have been entertaining forever.” Not only is “Deadpool and Wolverine” notable for being the first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie at Disney, but it also marks Hugh Jackman’s highly-anticipated return to playing his iconic X-Men character.
