Hot off talk that its director Shawn Levy could be handling the next “Avengers” film, Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool and Wolverine” has finally secured its official rating and classification details from the MPA.

FilmRatings.com reports that the blockbuster has landed an R rating for “strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore and sexual references”.

An R rating was always in the cards for the film which has been sold on the fact Marvel Studios are dipping their toes in those waters for the first time with this.
