With Marvel moving forward on Deadpool 3 and keeping it's "R" rating it will be the first ever "R" rated film to be produced through Marvel. This of course then raised the question by fans and myself wondering if Marvel would consider producing more "R" rated films moving forward and head honcho Kevin Feige answered that question at a TCA Panel (via Deadline).
“I think we target everything we’re doing for kids and adults, so I think your question is more adult or R-rated,” said Feige. “Other than ‘Deadpool,’ which has already established itself as a certain genre and a certain rating, that we already said we would not mess with when we started working on ‘Deadpool’ —which we have– other than that, we haven’t encountered a story or a storyline or a character’s journey that a PG-13, or the tone, or the ratings we’ve been using up to this point has prevented us.”
And continued saying “We haven’t been held back by [PG-13]. If we ever are, then certainly there can be a discussion that can be had now that there are other outlets like Star. But that just hasn’t been the case. We’ve told all the stories that we wanted to with the tonality and the rating we have now.”
So even though there currently isn't any plans to produce more "R" films through Marvel it sounds like there is still light at the end of the tunnel for those of us who want to see "more adult" films as Feige calls it from the studio. Personally, I'd be much more into the films from Marvel if they were "R" rated and if the only way to make them is by putting them on the outlet Star as Kevin said then so be it.
