Here’s what Heat Vision learned from Feige:

...

Feige has no plans for an R-rated movie.

Don’t look for an R rated Marvel movie in wake of success of such bloody and potty-mouthed movies such as Logan and Deadpool any time soon.

“My takeaway from both of those films is not the R rating, it’s the risk they took, the chances they took, the creative boundaries that they pushed,” Feige explained. “That should be the takeaway for everyone.”

While the R-rating is an easy-identifiable trait of those movies, Feige cited the breaking of the fourth wall in Deadpool and the finality of the Wolverine story as examples of what made those movies stand out.

...

I've been saying this since Deadpool came out and Logan was announced as being rated R. The reason that Deadpool is the best X-men movie is not because of the R rating. It's because they understand the character. That movie could have been PG-13 and it would have been good because they would have still made a Deadpool movie with the love of people that know Deadpool. Apocalypse was made by people that wanted to make an X-men movie as if it was in the MCU, but still in the Fox universe. They really didn't care for the characters other than Magneto. The movie was bits and pieces of other X-men movies that it was boring. Let's restart the timeline just to give you the same things from before. If they made Apocalypse R rated the movie would still be middling crap.
