Would Marvel ever make an R rated movie?

The economics would be tricky, but do you ever see the modern Marvel studios going for an R rating on a small budget movie?

If so, which character would you most like be represented on screen in R rated fashion? I think a Punisher movie has the potential to be really good. Especially if they follow the War Journal stories.

No, that's what the Netflix series are for

I'd like to see them handle a Ghost Rider, Punisher, or Blade R-rated movie.

Deadpool is rumored to be an R Rated movie

@saint_wildcard:

That's not Marvel Studios.

@saint_wildcard: That'd be Fox, though...right?

R rated films are a no go in the superhero movie scene.

This.........would be amazing.

Its possible, but it has to be the right character. Also I think if it was going to be R-Rated it would be released as a Marvel Knights/Max/Ultimate header instead of just Marvel Studios.

Going to be a lot of people come to this thread and say they won't because Disney owns them, well don't forget Miramax produced Pulp Fiction and Kids (a film to get the NC-17 rating) and Disney Corp owned Miramax at the time.

Probably, but there are already some R-rated comic book movies (Dredd, Blade, Punisher, Watchmen etc.). I hope Marvel Studios takes that extra leap toward an adult audience for some movies.

I know, right? I'd love a Midnight Sons movie; think an R-rated Avengers. It could be completely separate from the main MCU.

It's all Marvel to me. Fox will go R but Disney... not a chance

Nope

I can hope...

I can dream, but they're never gonna give me what I want

@force_echo: it'd be cool if they made a sub division for there movies and called it MAX based off there MAX explicit comic line

SO when the Marvel studios logo would pop up on the screen at the beginning and under ti would say MAX in big letters.

Rated R films have a smaller audience and thus will make less money.

They're not interested in that.

Nah. Marvels more aimed at little kids...tweeners if you will.

It'd be nice to see them take the occasional risk, though.

@jedixman: dint u her, GotG was da biggest risk eva

Maybe Disney would release it with one of their subsidiaries

Would have been more of a risk if it didn't... feel so much like a Marvel Movie. That's why I love Winter Soldier so much: it's by far the most unique movie in the MCU so far. Didn't go for nearly as many cheap jokes or colorful character traits. If done well, Dr. Strange might be the more "risky" movie, because - again, if done right - he is the least like the other superheroes.

... that said, I might like GotG more than Avengers... >_>

Punisher trilogy please.

Not as long as it's owned by Disney. Obviously.

Actually I heard quite the opposite, that it might be PG13.

However, now that Disney owns everything, I want to see even how many limbs we see cut off in the new Star Wars movies.

How about a Marvel Zombies guys?

Good luck if you think they'll ever do that.

Wasn't punisher war journal a marvel studios r rated movie made about the time phase one began?

Like others have said, Punisher, but that was Fox, IIRC. I think there are some characters that would be hard to NOT make a rated-R movie about (i.e. Moon Knight).

i thought blade is already R rated.

@fallschirmjager: Right, but a movie like Punisher or Daredevil is going to have a FAR smaller budget than some behemoth like the Avengers, and if it's good, they would definitely make money, off of a smaller, and more dedicated audience.

Not going to happen as long as Marvel is being owned by Disney

I suspect they will. They have the Punisher rights back after all.

And for people saying they wont because it's disney....

Disney owned Miramax for years. Miramax made plenty of R rated movies

I know it's never going to happen, but Marvel Zombies or Marvel Noir please.

That would just be spot on.

@jan_valker: How is PG13 quite the opposite of R.....? It's only the next step down.....

Quite the opposite would be G, if anything.

Deadpool, perhaps? He's kind of violent.

Wasn't Blade R?

What happened with the Marvel Knights brand that was supposed to release R-Rated movies?

My good sir, if I have ever seen a pointless nitpick, that's it.

@jan_valker: I've seen more pointless ones be made. :/

Expect more. You're on CV now. This isn't the little leagues anymore.

It's a possibility.

I would love to see new movie adaptations of the Punisher and Blade get made but it's best for those characters and other violent characters get Netflix shows.

No, because it is owned by Disney.

Nope.

Spiderman- Carnage as the villain... probably not.

Marvel zombies will never happen.

They could remake Ghost Rider. I hope.

Aren't they making a doctor strange movie sometime after avengers 2 or fantastic four?

They would buy or create a whole new studio just to make r rated ones

This is about Marvel Studios movies. Blade wasn't made by Marvel Studios.

No.

Wasn't Blade(1998) R rated?
