“I’m really proud of the work they’ve done,” Reynolds said. “I think it’s a huge step for them. It adds a whole new flavor to this kaleidoscope of companies and different people that they’ve always been entertaining.
“Although I was surprised that they let us go as Hard R… but I’m so grateful. I mean, there’s no other way to do it. For this character and this world and especially Logan is a Being an R-rated movie, I felt like it was the most complete version of Wolverine or Logan that we’ve ever seen, so it really gave us a lot of freedom to just do R-rated things. Not exploiting ratings, but actually allowing us to do anything and everything in a world where anything and everything is possible.
