The first R-rated Wolverine movie is bleak, uncompromising, and completely mesmerizing
MPAA ratings have always been Wolverine’s arch-enemy. The character, played by Hugh Jackman over the course of 17 years and eight previous movies in Marvel Comics’ X-Men universe, is a mutant berserker whose most prominent weapons are razor-sharp metal claws, plus the feral drive necessary to use them. But the PG-13 ratings on the X-Men franchise installments have limited what directors were willing to show onscreen.
And Mangold has said in interviews that another touchstone was Darren Aronofsky and Robert Siegel’s 2008 drama The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke as an aging bear of a man trying to come to terms with his past as his broken-down body betrays him. But for Star Wars fans, another close parallel may come to mind.
