8 Superheroes That Should Go R-Rated Next

1) Wolverine

Out of all the cinematic superheroes out there, Wolverine is probably the one crying out most for an R-rated outing. His appearances in the X-Men movies often push the boundaries of what’s accepted in a PG-13 anyway (Logan stabs people through the chest, drops F-bombs and has one horrific origin story), plus his storylines are almost always more adult than the average. He’s also already been the star of a video game that was rated M for Mature – of course Wolverine needs to be the star of an R-rated movie.

The hyper-violent X-Men: Origins video game is but a glimpse of what a Wolverine movie would like with the age restrictions taken off (hint: it’s almost sickeningly bloody). Reportedly, we may not have to wait that long to see this vision put on film: according to the rumor mill, James Mangold is planning to finally give us an R-rated Wolverine next year. You probably have Logan’s buddy Deadpool to thank for that.
