That's right, spread the good news! Deadpool has officially received an R rating. For the last few days, a rating war ensued over the film that features our beloved merc with a mouth. If you are not already aware of who Deadpool is, allow me to introduce you. Deadpool, the Marvel comic character, is a cursing, fourth-wall breaking, violence loving, and completely insane mercenary. Naturally, when the possibility of a PG-13 rating reared it's head, fans became worried. An R rated Deadpool would be the only way to do justice to the character. Ryan Reynolds, who has been cast as Deadpool, said he would fight for an R rating.
Knowing full well that fans were going to completely lose it, early today Fox announced that Deadpool would receive a PG-13 rating. It wasn't until later in the day that they revealed (via a funny video) that it was all an April Fools Joke and that, of course Deadpool will be rated R. As a huge fan of Deadpool (He is my favorite Marvel character), I'm pretty relieved and even more psyched for the upcoming film. Deadpool will slaughter theaters on Feb 12, 2016, bring a chimichanga when you see it.
