Disney Plus offers an interesting selection when it comes to their film and television shows. The streaming service recently included a number of films from their acquisition of Fox, and furthermore, they allowed parental ratings that offers subscribers the chance to view R-rated content. Now one such R-rated comic book movie is trending on Disney Plus.
The R-rated comic book movie has managed to break into the platform’s Top 10 list. As the movie climbs the ranks, as of this writing, it has reached the number four spot. Quite impressive for a movie released nearly a decade ago in 2016.
Of course, there is a good reason to see this movie doing so well on the platform. After all, it’s actually about to receive a brand-new sequel this month. Perhaps that’s why fans are eager to revisit this comic book movie blockbuster and the R-rated odyssey it has to offer.
The movie is actually Deadpool – a product of 20th Century Fox prior to their acquisition by Disney. Now that Disney owns the studio’s library, including Deadpool and its first sequel, the titles are currently streaming on Disney Plus. The timing also makes sense with Deadpool receiving a second sequel – Deadpool & Wolverine – in just one week.
It’s an interesting time for Marvel fans, as Marvel Studios is beginning to focus on creating content with varied audiences in mind. This means fans will not only continue to receive the familiar PG-13 rated titles from the studio, but darker or raunchier titles like Deadpool & Wolverine that are rated “R.”
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the R-rated Deadpool franchise and what else might be streaming on Disney Plus as we have them. With Deadpool & Wolverine right around the corner, however, it’s likely that fans will still be flocking to the Deadpool franchise for the time being.
