Ever since the beginning, Ryan Reynolds and the film's writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been saying Deadpool should be rated 'R'. Anyone who has read the character's early (and best) comics appearance know an R-rating is what would make the most sense. Nothing has been decided yet, though, but Reynolds hit Twitter and revealed he's trying to make sure it won't be rated PG-13...
“@DPklok051: Is it going to be rated R or PG-13?" I want #Deadpool to be R. Always have. Fighting the good fight still. Lotta yelling today.

While Deadpool could work as a PG-13 film it's certainly not what the character's fans are expecting. Meanwhile, I doubt they were expecting to learn that Negasonic Teenage Warhead, the little-seen character created by Grant Morrison in the pages of New X-Men, will be part of the film. Brianna Hildebrand will play Negasonic, who was a mutant with incredible telepathic and precognitive powers. She was a student of Emma Frost's (played by January Jones in X-Men: First Class) but was killed in a sentinel attack on the mutant nation of Genosha. Hildebrand also has a role in the upcoming comedy horror, Scouts vs. Zombies.Directed by Tim Miller and starring Gina Carano, TJ Miller, Morena Baccarin, and Ed Skrein, Deadpool opens February 12th 2016.
