As expected, Suicide Squad has been rated PG-13, something we've known was always going to be the plan. In fact, that was confirmed by producer Charles Roven last year when he said, "Our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13." It seems like the story of Task Force X is going to be on that edge anyway, something evident from the information revealed in the Tweet below about why the MPAA have gone for PG-13.

#suicidesquad rated pg-13 for sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content and language

It probably isn't going to be too hard to release an R-Rated "Ultimate Cut" somewhere down the line based on that description, and chances are that this is the kind of comic book movie parents will want to think twice about taking their children too. For fans of these characters though, it sounds pretty much perfect. Expect much more to be revealed about Suicide Squad over the next couple of months...

Mick808 - 6/7/2016, 4:55 PM Sounds like nobody's head is actually getting blown off then. I never expected this movie to be R but it'll be interesting to see how a team of mass murderers can be toned down to fit the rating. Login to report abuse



























Mick808 - 6/7/2016, 4:56 PM I wonder if they're going to brush over the abusive aspects of Joker/Harley's relationship to avoid offending anyone. It's a pretty hefty topic for a pg-13 summer blockbuster Login to report abuse
