The studio definitely took a chance on the film, but it was one that ultimately paid dividends, as Deadpool went on to be come one of the most successful R-rated pictures of all time. It seems that Fox were not always that confident in a more adult orientated adaptation though. In a new interview with Den of Geek, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick reveal that the studio did ask them to come up with a PG-13 version… just in case.
He said “We did it,” Reese admits. “We sold our soul for a few minutes [laughs]. But interestingly the PG-13 version is not that different from the R version. The language is reduced, the sexual content is reduced, but most of the action and the structure of the movie and the scenes were all the same. It was up to Fox to look at it and decided ‘should we make this?’ and thankfully – thankfully only in retrospect – they didn’t. It allowed us to circle back with the support of Simon Kinberg a couple of years later and convince them that R was always the best way to go”
