A new debate began after the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and it has to do with the classification it received. Read all the info here!
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness It can already be seen in theaters around the world, but many fans consider that the film does not have the classification that it should have. In case you don’t know, the movie Doctor Strange has classification PG-13like most of the movies and series of Marveldue to their “intense sequences of violence and action, terrifying images and some strong words”.
However, those who have already seen the film argue that this PG-13 it falls short and that in reality the classification should be R. This is because, speaking without movie spoilerssome scenes have graphic violence and horror elements. “The new movie Doctor Strange should have been classified as R. It has some VERY disturbing scenes, including body horror scenes. She wouldn’t see her again, which is sad, because Doctor Strange he is one of my favorite characters Marvel“commented in a tweet a fanatic
You can not deny that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness it has some scary scenes, especially when we get to the last third of the movie. There is violence, gore and murders quite disturbing along with some haunting sequences. But Sam Raimi (Ash vs Evil Dead)the film’s director, seems to have found the right balance so that the film’s classification does not change PG-13 to PG-16classification that follows the one received Doctor Strange.
Although several people commented that the film deserves a higher rating, there are other fans who suggest that the PG-13 is correct and Doc Strange 2 it’s actually not as dark as other titles that have this rating. “Ok…doesn’t anyone remember the movie about Raimi, Drag me to Hell? Because that nightmare-producing horror festival was PG-13 and it was a pretty strong indicator of how it would be Doctor Strange. The man knew where the limits were because he had used them to the fullest long before.”tweeted a fan defending the classification.
Ok… does NOBODY remember Raimi’s own “Drag Me to Hell”? Because that nightmare inducing horror fest was PG-13 and was a pretty strong indicator of what his Doctor Strange would be like. The man already knew where the boundaries were because he’d pushed them way harder before. https://t.co/wrXsToOcYO

The classification PG-13, although it seems somewhat surprising, it appeared a few years ago when it was released Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. MPAA had to add this intermediate rating because several parents complained that the film was too violent to be Suitable for all publicand this is how this first midpoint was born between the R movies and those suitable for all audiences.
At the moment, there is no movie in the MCU have classification R. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness can be a bit strong to be considered PG-13but the policy Disney is that all the movies MCU are suitable for older than 13. It is for this reason that, if you saw Doc Strange 2, you may have noticed that there are scenes that seem to be cut at certain key moments. In any case, it is expected that third installment of Deadpool become the first movie Marvel with R rating. And you never know, out there dead pool let the company finally explore this world of movies a little more with R-rated for its violent and bloody scenes.
