Looks like The Wolverine III has been confirmed to be rated-R

Quote :

After the rumor that Fox and director James Mangold were planing an R-rated follow up to The Wolverine kicked off with this pamphlet from the New York Toy Fair, THR would seem to have confirmed that Hugh Jackman's final turn in the claws and mutton chops will indeed be a more adult orientated adventure.

However, according to the trade this was always the plan and has nothing to do with the success of the similarly R-rated Deadpool.

Quote :

"Insiders say the untitled Wolverine threequel, which James Mangold begins shooting in a month, was always designed as a movie that would receive an R from the ratings board once finished because of the level of violence (and likely language) in the script written by Michael Green."

There's no mention of the plot (which is still strongly rumored to be based on Mark Millar's Old Man Logan arc), but as we draw closer to the film's shoot date we might soon become privy to some more details.

How do you feel about the prospect of an R-rated Wolverine movie?

Okay, I'm starting to learn more about the Old Man Logan story. And holy shit! That story is dark as fuck! There's no way you can do that movie with a PG-13 rating.
