Kevin Feige Confirms DEADPOOL 3 Will Be Marvel's First R-Rated Movie
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has officially confirmed that Deadpool 3 will be Marvel's first R-rated film. We’ve been hearing for years that this is where the movie was headed, with director Shawn Levy previously teasing how violent and foul it will be. He said:
"We are writing, rewriting, developing, prepping 'Deadpool' every day now. It is such a blast to laugh every day. It is so delicious to hear and write and come up with these scenes where people are just talking foul. And the violence is in your face and hardcore, and it's very much a 'Deadpool' movie."
When Kevin Feige was recently asked in an interview with EW about how it feels to have mutants on the brain again, he replied:
"It's amazing. And we've got Hugh Jackman coming back for our first Deadpool film within the MCU. That's our first R-rated film. To have Hugh come back is incredible. For me, personally, that is where I started. I remember sitting behind the camera – well behind the camera – at his audition for the film. It was his first on-set audition, and he flew up to Toronto to do a read with Anna Paquin. For him, and for me, and I think for all of the fans of Marvel, it's unbelievable what has happened in those 23 years. It's very full-circle having him come back in this new Deadpool film."
The movie stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as Deadpool and Wolverine and Emma Corrin recently joined the project and will be playing the villain in the story. We don’t know much about that story, but I have no doubt, with the creative team behind the movie, that it’s going to be a blast!
One thing we know about the film is that Wolverine and Deadpool are not going to get along. It was explained that Wolverine hates Deadpool. I also imagine the movie will see them on some kind of road trip together. Before Disney bought Fox, the movie “was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real.”
A Rashomon-style story is where the same event is recounted by several characters, and the stories differ in ways that are impossible to reconcile. It shows that two or more people can view the same event quite differently. I hope that they stick with that, because that would be so much fun!
