'Black Adam' Was Originally Rated R by MPAA [Exclusive]

In an exclusive interview with Collider, the producers of BlackAdam revealed that the film was originally R-rated.

Black Adam is coming to theaters to change the balance of power in the DC Extended Universe. Still, fans watching Dwayne Johnson's superhero debut might be surprised by how violent the movie really is. During an interview with producers Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia, Collider’s own Steven Weintraub discussed the unprecedented killstreak set by Black Adam, which almost led to the film being rated R by the MPAA.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “We really wanted to make sure that we honored the character of Black Adam. One of the things he's known for is his aggression and violence, and to do a Black Adam movie that didn't have that just wouldn’t have been authentic. So we always went into this knowing that we were going to push it as far as we did.

There are some personal moments that we really love, but we had to let them go. But we never compromised, we never had to cut a scene. We had some really cool moments, and if you notice, there are some great moments when Black Adam is in the fly bike chase sequence and drops one of the intergang soldiers. Then there's this great moment where the truck bounces over the body.
