Predator: Badlands is going to be rated PG-13 if Disney get their way – making it the first Predator movie not rated R.
Revealed during an on-set interview by ScreenRant, Disney expressed their anticipation that Badlands would receive a PG-13 rating to capitalize on a broader audience for this kind of film...
If all goes according to plan, Badlands will be the first Predator movie with a PG-13 rating rather than R. “Our hope for it is that it can be a PG-13 that feels like an R. That’s kind of our hope… being able to broaden out the audience for a movie like this.” With no human blood amid all the action, avoiding that R rating becomes more justified.
This will certainly come as a disappointment to many fans who were hoping for an R rating, but as the quote explains, without Human violence and blood, it may be a non-issue.
