Disney CEO Bob Iger has addressed the future of Deadpool, confirming Fox's film franchise will remain R-rated following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox. "It clearly has been and will be Marvel branded. But we think there might be an opportunity for a Marvel-R brand for something like Deadpool," Iger said in a call with investors following the news that Disney will purchase 21st Century Fox (via The Hollywood Reporter). "As long as we let the audiences know what's coming, we think we can manage that fine," he added. The first Deadpool movie was a major success for Fox, earning $783 million worldwide to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
