Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously wouldn’t rule out the idea of R-rated movies from Marvel Studios earlier this summer, saying they were “not out of the question, but not something we’re working on right now.”
This morning, it was officially announced that The Walt Disney Company would be acquiring the assets of 20th Century Fox, which would bring the feature film rights for the X-Men and Fantastic Four back to Marvel Studios.
This has left many fans wondering what that means for the future of adult-oriented movies from the franchise like Deadpool.
The last time the studio actually produced an R-rated film was 2006’s Apocalypto.
