Director James Mangold confirmed the new on Twitter, explaining that the rating was awarded for “strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity.”
While not officially confirmed, Mangold said on social media that Logan has been rated 15 in the UK, also the same as Deadpool.
Recently, Hugh Jackman revealed Logan will be on a somewhat different timeline to the other X-Men films, but not entirely different.
Last week, the second trailer for Logan – AKA Wolverine 3 – was released online, showcasing the film’s graphic nature.
