Star Wars Potential readiness for an R-rated classification, according to Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds has proposed an idea for a darker, more emotionally complex Star Wars project with an R-rating. The Deadpool actor pitched the idea to Disney, suggesting that an R-rating could serve as a platform for deeper narrative depth, without focusing on vulgarity. Reynolds made it clear that he doesn't envision himself starring in the project, but is open to producing or writing it.

The suggestion has sparked debate about the possibility of more mature Star Wars stories, considering the franchise's traditionally family-friendly nature. Disney has yet to confirm any development of this specific project.

The recent series, Andor, has already been exploring darker and more explicit themes on Disney+. The fate of Reynolds' R-rated Star Wars proposal remains uncertain.
