According to Warner Bros. Chief, Toby Emmerich, it’s not only possible but likely that there will be more R-rated films to come out of the DC Extended Universe over the next several years.
Thankfully, based on Emmerich’s comments here alone, it seems as though Warner Bros. is planning on taking their DCEU films in even more diverse and non-traditional directions, moving forward.
It’s also important to note that Warner Bros. has technically already released an R-rated version of one of their DCEU films, with the director’s cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that was made available on Blu-ray and DVD last year.
Right now, the studio is in the midst of celebrating its best-received DC Comics adaptation since Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, with Wonder Woman proving to be both a critical darling and global box office hit.
