In a matter of weeks, the film became the highest grossing R-Rated film of all-time, earning more in the US than Batman v Superman.
However, its success has led to Wolverine 3 becoming R-Rated, as well as an extended R-Rated cut of Batman v Superman being released.
However, while Deadpool relishes in being aimed at an older audience, it wasn’t always going to be R-Rated: at one stage, Fox was debating whether to give the film a PG-13 rating.
But interestingly the PG-13 version is not that different from the R version.
