One of the biggest reasons the original Deadpool<\/em> film was such a huge success and earned Fox such a ginormous box office return was because Ryan Reynolds worked his butt off to ensure it was as Deadpool-ey of a movie as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That meant violence. It meant gore. It meant sex and inappropriate jokes and a lot of breaking the fourth wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now that kind of thing might seem like a movie producer’s worst nightmare. Major motion picture studios looking for the highest rate of return are allured by family-friendly, safe cinematic choices. The more mundane and mediocre and inoffensive a film is, the more guaranteed of a return of investment, statistically speaking.<\/p>\n

\n

Deadpool<\/em> was a huge departure from that boring, MPAA-rating-friendly studio process and it ended up reaping the benefits. Fox greenlit a sequel almost immediately after the film’s opening box-office numbers came in, and things were looking great.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Until Disney announced that they’d be buying Fox, the studio that produces Deadpool<\/em>. Now when you think of Disney films, you’re definitely not thinking of rated R content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

But Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, assures fan that Disney’s got no problem with being in the R-rated film business, just as long as “audiences know what’s coming.”<\/p>\n

\n

Disney is ready & willing to get into the R-rated movie business. Iger says #Deadpool<\/a> can stay R-rated, "as long as we let the audiences know what's coming" https:\/\/t.co\/pUxaiSnnpU<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/KL0Xo7P939<\/a><\/p>\n
