Ryan Reynolds Opines That 'Star Wars' could Warrant an R-Rating
Hey there!
Man, the buzz about Andor has really got people yearning for another notch in the Star Wars belt, ain't it? And if you ask Ryan Reynolds, it's about time they took a significant creative leap: an R-rated adventure.
Over on The Box Office podcast, the guy behind Deadpool revealed he tossed around the idea with Disney, stating, "Why not try an R-rated Star Wars property?" He wasn't suggesting anything specific, mind you, but seemed to propose it as a way to explore the franchise's emotional depth without resorting to vulgarity.
So, no, Reynolds ain't hoping to throw on that Jedi robe himself. He's thinking more along the lines of producing or writing such a venture.
Now, let's be clear: Star Wars has pretty much stayed family-friendly all these years, with Revenge of the Sith being its first stab at PG-13 back in '05. The franchise has always tiptoed around graphic violence and sex, often keeping it implicit. However, with shows like Andor, they're starting to venture into more mature territories.
The million-dollar question is whether Disney will greenlight this move. If they do, the world is gonna have plenty to say about it—both for the better and the worse. But hey, that's the magic of cinema, ain't it?
Fun Fact: Reynolds isn't the only one with creative ideas for the franchise. Disney is cooking up quite a bit, including "The Mandalorian & Grogu" and "Star Wars: Starfighter." Remember, curiosity kills cats, but it makes Star Wars fans deliriously excited!
