Fox\u2019s \u201cDeadpool\u201d was the first R-rated movie to come out of the superhero craze, and it was amazing. In the Journal\u2019s review, we said \u201cThe R rating allowed the action to be filled with blood and gore. The film didn\u2019t hold back at all when it came to blood or dismemberment, and it was fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeadpool\u201d made $758 million worldwide, far surpassing its $58 million budget.<\/p>\n
With its success, it\u2019s no surprise that \u201cDeadpool 2\u201d is on the way. Tim Miller is returning as director, and of course Ryan Reynolds is returning as the Merc with a Mouth, himself.<\/p>\n
The sequel will also feature the popular comic book character Cable, who was confirmed to be a part of the movie by Deadpool, himself. No actor has been chosen.<\/p>\n
Cable is the time travelling son of Cyclops who befriends Deadpool and forms the group \u201cThe X-Force.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeadpool 2\u201d releases next year.<\/p>\n
Following the trend of R-rated superhero movies, Fox confirmed that \u201cWolverine 3\u201d would also be rated R. The movie will be Hugh Jackman\u2019s final appearance as Wolverine and will also include Patrick Stewart\u2019s Professor X.<\/p>\n
\u201cWolverine 3\u201d is based off of the \u201cOld Man Logan\u201d comic storyline, which is set in an alternate universe and sees the US taken over by villains and most of the heroes killed. \u201cWolverine 3\u201d has a set release date of March 3, 2017.<\/p>\n
DC is also jumping into the R-rated movie pool with the upcoming animated film \u201cThe Killing Joke\u201d based off of the wildly successful graphic novel of the same name.<\/p>\n
This is the first animated film in DC Animation\u2019s nine years to be rated R. The critically-acclaimed graphic novel is said to be one of the Joker\u2019s most defining sources of material. Christopher Nolan has also said that \u201cThe Killing Joke\u201d was one of the inspirations for Heath Ledger\u2019s Joker.<\/p>\n
The film will first screen at San Diego Comic Con, and then release on home video in July.<\/p>\n
With the new R-rated superhero trend, adult fans have a lot of hilarious, gory, and dark films to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
