To be honest, Suicide Squad will probably do just fine without a few extra F-bombs and shots of blood and gore, and given the MPAA’s leniency with violence, this is most likely a pretty hard PG-13 as is.
The MPAA has officially granted Suicide Squad a PG-13 rating for “sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content and language” — none of which is surprising, but “disturbing behavior” is certainly an inspired choice of words.
Suicide Squad hits theaters on August 5.
Thankfully, there haven’t been any studio heads going on Oprah-like bonanzas and green-lighting R-rated comic book movies left and right.
