Deadpool 2 May Get PG-13 Re-Cut As Untitled Deadpool Movie Hits Release Slate
<p><em>Deadpool 2</em> was known for being a very hard R, but Fox appears prepared to put it out in theaters too with an age rating that's a little more inviting to mass audiences: PG-13. The movie is currently slated for December 21, currently listed as an untitled <em>Deadpool</em> movie.</p><p><a href="https://deadline.com/2018/09/dark-phoenix-alita-battle-angel-deadpool-gambit-release-date-changes-1202473229/">Deadline</a> reports that this mysterious title is <em>Deadpool 2</em>, given a few snips and clips to squeeze it into a size PG-13 dress. Star Ryan Reynolds, who has been heavily involved in bringing the comic character to life, tweeted out an image of Deadpool reading a story to Fred Savage a la <em>The Princess Bride</em>. This may be the framing device for a PG-13 <em>Deadpool 2</em>, as well as a way to extend the length and make up for cut scenes.</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1045750002994302978"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">Thoughts? ⚔️ <a href="https://t.co/fFe93tDI7e">pic.twitter.com/fFe93tDI7e</a></p> — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) <a href="https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1045750002994302978?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">September 28, 2018</a></blockquote><text></text></div><p>In GameSpot's <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/deadpool-2-review-failing-to-break-the-fourth-wall/1100-6458947/"><em>Deadpool 2</em> review</a>, Michael Rougeau said it worked in much the same way the original did, though it could have used more support from its surrounding cast like Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz.
