At least before WB get nervous and cut it to death.
"...Oh yeah! Yeah, that movie is going to be insane. The script is so funny. Every page of that script was funny, and every page made me laugh. James just has this command of that genre, but also over every aspect of comedy and even the marketing. He just understands the world so well, and since he wrote it, he really reinvents not just the concepts, but also the characters. For me, it was like I did my first comedy, but it’s like heavily R-rated. So much of the action is practical with real explosions, and yeah, that movie is going to be insane. It’s such a great cast that he put together. John Cena, that motherfucker is a comedic genius. No one would make us laugh on set more than John. Every scene he was in, he would go on an improvised tangent. There are so many chops in that cast, and James has such a command of it all. He knows exactly what he wants, and sometimes it’s going to take him 10 takes to get there, or it’s going to take one. And he knows exactly when he gets what he needs because his ear is so attuned to it. It was a real learning experience for me, too, because I’d never done a comedy in that way before. So I asked James to work with me and teach me this shit. And yeah, we had so much fun doing it. That movie is going to be a fucking monster. Honestly, even though I’m in it, I can’t wait to see it as a fan. (Laughs.)"

Why is having an R rating the main point nowadays? It seems when they try to push that first, the movie fails.

No, I mean the ones that made it a point that it was rated R. If the movie is going to be good, being rated R shouldn't be the selling point.

Some movies do need an R rating, but DC thinks every one of their movies needs an R rating. It's them trying to compete with Marvel in the wrong way again.

The movie looks good from what we’ve seen and James Gunn cut his teeth making R rated films. Plus he said they gave him carte blanche to do what he wants. |

Like I said, I don't care if the movie is R, but just don't make it the selling point above the movie itself.

DC would love nothing more than turn every single one of their heroes into bloodthirsty serial killers because they think that's how they compete with Marvel. Meanwhile all they need to do is not worry about an R rating and just make good movies. Shazam would never have worked as an R rated film and I'm glad it never went there. It has problems, but otherwise is better for not being another attempted R rated mess.

Except alienation of the fanbase and general audiences and the making of good movies. Making R rated films for the sake of an R rating is what a 13year old would do, or barring that anyone like Zach Snyder. DC doesn't need R rated films I don't care how many Snyder fantards jump up and down and throw fits.

As I said, if making only R-rated DC films was what WB wanted, they would’ve done so, but they’re not doing that. I certainly wouldn’t want a Superman or Wonder Woman film to be rated R, but an R-rated Suicide Squad film makes sense.

The Deadpool movies definitely made a big deal out of being rated R, as did Logan. Maybe in the movie. I don’t remember them trying to sell us that hard on the movie being R. Not like Venom and The New Mutants tried to. Birds of Prey went out of their way selling that R. Deadpool’s selling of the R came through on him being himself. Logan’s selling of it was them just saying he’ll finally get to really cut loose. Now it’s selling the letter itself with no reason behind it.

Also, I don’t recall Birds of Prey ever really trying hard to sell its R-rating. If anything, that movie’s problem was that the marketing couldn’t seem to decide who the target audience was supposed to be. It was being marketed on places like TikTok. Also, Venom and New Mutants were not rated R.

Nah, Venom and The New Mutants kept on going on about the R rating until they finally came out with them being PG13. It got to the point with The New Mutants where they started saying that they are getting it as close to R as possible.

When was TNM ever said to be rated R? Josh Boone even said back in January that an R-rating was never on the table for it.
