Fans worried about films like Deadpool being taken down a notch from an R rating to PG-13 rating should fear not though! Disney has already said that the next Deadpool film will continue to have the R rating. Will we see Deadpool and the other X-Men team up with the Avengers in an upcoming film? One can only hope!
