If there's one consensus about X-Force, it's that like Deadpool and Deadpool 2, just about everyone wants it to be rated R.
Ryan Reynolds told Collider he thinks that'll be the case, but it's too soon to say with certainty. "It's all story first," Reynolds said. "I don't think anybody's thinking about the rating. I mean, my sort of wild guess would be that it would be an R-rated movie, but again, right now we're just assembling the troops to figure out what story we would tell."
In February 2017 it was heavily rumored that Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces, Death Wish) would write the script for X-Force, which would certainly lend weight to the R rating prediction, but more recently it's been reported that director Drew Goddard is writing the script, with no mention of Carnahan.
Still, even the writers not working on X-Force are sure we'll get an R rating. Deadpool 2 writer Rhett Reese told CBR that X-Force, compared to the X-Men movies, will be "raunchier," adding, "It will be rated R, I'm sure."
