Now that Deadpool is a hit, its status as a moneymaking, R-rated superhero juggernaut has seemingly influenced other comic-book adaptations. Wolverine 3 may or may not be rated R now because of Deadpool, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is getting an R-rated Director’s Cut Blu-ray , and it seems there will be even more comics movies made in the near future with an adult audience in mind. And if tweets are to believed, Ant-Man director Peyton Reed is ready to up the ante even more.

Reed, who is also helming the sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, tweeted the following:Of course he’s joking, but Reed’s fellow Marvel helmer James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) responded with some next-level dark humor:It seems the bigger point here is that just because Deadpool works as an R-rated comedy, that doesn’t mean that everything needs to go adult. Though I’m sure there are some fans out there who would love an NC-17 Marvel film…
