R Rated Movies
From the
moment the test footage was leaked on the internet, Deadpool has continued to
exceed all expectations. No one expected a solos film to be made. When it was
confirmed, it was expected to be released as PG13. When it’s R rating was
confirmed, everyone expected this to a low budget piece of fan service that
would do well to match the box office revenue of Kingsman. The film went on to
be one of the highest grossing R rated movies of all time, potentially paving
the way for future comic books to have R Rated movie adaptations.
Here’s a
list of Comic book movies we’d like to see with made with an R rating.
The Killing
Joke
Okay, so we
are getting a DC Animated version this with Mark Hamill once again voicing the
joker and it currently seems more likely that we’ll get Under the Hood as our
batman solo movie. But with DC focusing on their justice league movies and the
newer members standalone movies, Ben Affleck could be given some freedom on the
Batman franchise. Our new Batman is an older, tortured soul and we could really
explore that more with an R rating. Jared Leto seems really invested in the
role and could easily do justice to The Dark Knights darkest villain in one of
the darkest and most famous Batman stories.
Wolverine 3:
Old Man Logan
This one
looks like it is actually going to happen, which is great. This is Hugh
Jackman’s final appearance as Wolverine and we pity the actor that has to
follow him. Since Deadpool, there’s been a huge call from fans for this last
film to get the R. It makes sense. This is a man that can endure immense amount
of abuse and pain and heal almost any injury. He also has a horrible temper and
I’m sure there’s something else. Oh yes, unbreakable metal knives that come out
of his hands. It’s about time we saw wolverine put his skill and his weapons to
good use and that would certainly require an R rating. Old Man Logan Is the perfect story line for this to happen.
Spiderman:
Carnage
Perhaps a
bit ambitious but it would make sense. Thanks to the Sam Raimi film, everyone
saw what happened when the alien symbiote bonded with Eddie Brock. We got
Venom. For those who don’t know Carnage, imagine that same symbiote bonding
with a convicted child killer. He then escapes prison leaving a trail of
Carnage in his wake. Spiderman is then forced to team up with Venom to defeat
this new evil. This storyline wouldn’t only benefit from an R rating, but it
would be difficult to determine a difference between Carnage and Venom without it.
The Punisher
The Punisher
has had his chance on film a couple of time before, but times have changed.
Moviegoers are more open than ever to comic book adaptations and a brutal
vigilante with a dark and violent backstory could be a potential success. Blade
has trodden this ground before and was somewhat successful. A punisher movie
with the same tone and with possible cameos from other marvel characters could
be great.
Black Widow
IT seems
increasingly unlikely that we will ever see Natasha Romanov take to the screen
in her own movie but I think it would be the prefect way for her to leave the
MCU should that day come. A film that could take her back to Russia, where it
all began, to tear down the system that created her. Revealing and reliving her
dark past.
Angry Birds
Because, why
not?
Let us know what comic book Characters or Movies could be made or rebooted with an R rating.
