8 Superheroes That Should Go R-Rated Next

Deadpool, 20th Century Fox's foul-mouthed and borderline groundbreaking superhero movie, has so far made over $700 million worldwide. Meanwhile, Netflix's series Daredevil has just returned for an even bloodier second season, and it's generating more hype than ever before. Predictably, thanks to these projects' enormous success, Hollywood is looking to jump on the bandwagon and make a number of its upcoming superhero movies R-rated.

Spider-Man-2

The Spider-Man films have always been, at heart, teen movies, focusing on a character whose physical changes are a result of more than just puberty. They star a geeky loner who overcomes the bullies to eventually get the girl he sees as out of his league. It’s classic teen movie material. Only the PG-13 rating has often blunted that side of the Spider-Man movies, holding back on what the real teen experience is like by putting Peter Parker in some fairytale high school world minus the warts-and-all.

Imagine, then, if Peter Parker’s story was a more traditional R-rated coming-of-age tale, as much as it was a superhero saga. Imagine Freaks and Geeks meets Spider-Man, with the superhero shenanigans and the curse-heavy growing pains existing side by side. Imagine Superbad-style jokes and Juno-like young adult observations on a blockbuster canvas. Imagine Kick-Ass, but featuring a hero with proper superpowers.
