And the choice to submit the film for that R-rating wasn't made in a vacuum, folks. We've had unrated Blu-ray releases in the past - The Wolverine had a fantastic extended cut that was essentially equivalent to an R-rated version - this is the first time I can recall seeing an actual MPAA rating of R assigned to a mainstream PG-13 superhero movie's extended Blu-ray release. While of course Deadpool isn't the only reason Batman v Superman is getting an actual R-rated cut, it's also impossible to ignore the timing of this news and the certain impact Deadpool is having on studios' perception of what's now possible and even advisable for finding additional avenues to reach viewers with this content.
