‘Deadpool’ R Rating Confirmed

This morning it was “confirmed” Deadpool would be rated PG-13. Considering it’s April 1st I assumed this “confirmation” might be a prank and didn’t write it up despite the fact Ryan Reynolds seemed to be in on the confirmation using his Twitter account:

Well, it turns out my instincts were correct in holding off as Reynolds has now confirmed the R-rating in yet another tweet and the following video.

Oh, ever so cheeky.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
