If you’re inclined to gamble, then bet on the Bumblebee film getting a PG-13 when it finally goes in front of the MPAA.
No official rating has been announced for the Bumblebee solo movie yet, but going off of the history of the franchise, we would be willing to bet that it will once again opt for a PG-13 rating.
The films are packed to the brim with action and relatively juvenile humor that wouldn’t work within a PG rating, but it doesn’t seem likely that a Transformer movie is going to aim for a full-blown R-rating anytime soon — particularly when we consider the fact that the film focuses on a coming of age story for a teenage girl.
