Deadpool Producer Simon Kinberg Says X-Force Could Be R-Rated

Deadpool, you’ve changed things… forever. There’s no going back.

With Deadpool cleaning up at the box office this weekend, it is only a matter of time until we see more studios taking chances with R-rated superhero films, like 20th Century Fox did.

Fox will now take a long and hard look at their stable of comic book characters and try to figure out if any of them are suited for their own R-rated film. According to screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg, the next R-rated superhero film from Fox — aside from the Deadpool sequel — could be an R-rated X-Force.

“I think there are some stories that could be R-rated,” Kinberg told Collider. “I don’t know what they are, I mean I think the mainline X-Men movies have their own tone, which is a more operatic tone. It’s more dramatic, it is more PG-13 in a way. X-Force I could see being R-rated, and who knows?” He added,”I’m saying I could imagine a universe in which [X-Force is R-rated].”
