The Expendables 4 rating is already fixing a key failing of the third movie, but the film can't fall into an old Megan Fox love interest problem.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Expendables 4's rating will ensure it avoids a key mistake of the previous entry - but it also has to avoid a Megan Fox mistake her previous action movies had made. Sylvester Stallone tailor-made The Expendables franchise as a way to make the kind of old-fashioned, R-rated action flicks that provided him with his biggest hits.
Series producer Avi Lerner had long wanted to make The Expendables movies PG-13 rated so they could appeal to a younger audience. In fact, The Expendables 2 had been shot as a bloodless, bad language-free PG-13, until some R-rated gore was added in post-production when there was an online backlash to this decision. The Expendables 3 fully embraced its PG-13, resulting in a tepid outing that alienated fans of the first two outings and failed to appeal to a teenage demographic.
The Expendables 3 attempted to abandon that tone in favor of something closer to the Fast & Furious franchise. Maybe that made sense to producers on a financial level, but it also placed The Expendables in a box that was a bad fit. Time will tell if The Expendables 4 is actually a worthy sequel, but at the very least, it will carry the harder edge that audiences come to the series for.
Expendables 4's R-Rating Has To Avoid Megan Fox Just Being The Love Interest The Expendables 4 has largely eschewed franchise formula by not recruiting major action icons in supporting roles. Instead, newcomers including 50 Cent, Andy Garcia and Megan Fox, who plays Christmas' new love interest Gina. The trailer partly built itself around the steamy relationship between the pair, with Gina also shown to be part of the title team.
In addition to "strong/bloody violence" and "language," Expendables 4 earned its R thanks to some "sexual material." This is no doubt down to the love scene between Statham and Fox, but while the Transformers movies or Jonah Hex tended to rely on the star for sex appeal, Expendables 4 can't fall into that trap. Gina needs to be a key member of the team who isn't just kidnapped or killed to motivate Statham's Christmas.
