If I'm not mistaken, this is the first MCU film to be rated R.

He really is the MCU Jesus

In the trailer, Deadpool calls himself MCU Jesus

[–] FenrirIII 1 points 6 months ago

Jesus was well-known for bustin' caps in the pharisees while tonguing prostitutes.

That's a relief

What were the first 2 rated?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Deadpool (2016): Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity.

Deadpool 2 (2018): Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual references and brief drug material.

...but...but...he was wearing clothes when he tea-bagged Cable.

Argh, for pirate!

Also Logan.

So this is at least the fourth R-rated MCU movie.

[–] MimicJar 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Technically none of those were MCU movies, just Marvel films.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Have we actually gotten confirmation this is an MCU film, or is that just the overwhelming speculation?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was a difference, but I got sick of super hero movies quite a few years ago now, so I'm not exactly up to date. Obviously I'll see this one, though.

The timelines and universes for "X-Men" are far from straightforward, but in short Fox owned the rights to X-Men, including Deadpool. As a result all of the X-Men films exist outside of the MCU.

As a similar example, Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man. As a result Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield Spider-Men exist outside of the MCU. (Ignoring for a moment that the MCU didn't even exist when some of those films came out.)

However when it came time for Tom Holland Spider-Man, Sony & Disney made a deal and that Spider-Man is part of the MCU. Eventually this gave us a Spider-Man film with multiverses, and all three Spider-Men appearing in an MCU film.

The new Deadpool is going to do the same. Deadpool will deal with multiverses and this time pull from the Fox "X-Men" universes, making them MCU characters. No deal with Fox is needed since Disney acquired Fox a few years ago.

So the old films aren't technically MCU films, but they may have characters who will later appear in the MCU. But also these characters might be slightly different because multiverses.

Thanks for catching me up!

If it weren't rated R I would know it wouldn't be worth watching.

[–] LifeLikeLady 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is the 4th marvel movie to be R Rated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Yes, there are other films based on Marvel Comics that have been rated R, but this is the first film in the MCU to be rated R.

All MCU movies are Marvel movies, but not all Marvel movies take place in the MCU.
