Ryan Reynolds has revealed he officially pitched an R-rated Star Wars movie. The future of Star Wars feels brighter than ever, with the franchise due to return to the big screen next year with The Mandalorian & Grogu. But meanwhile, Lucasfilm continue to plan further upcoming Star Wars movies – and it seems they had one surprising pitch.
Speaking to Scott Mendelson on The Box Office Podcast, Ryan Reynolds reveals he’s actually pitched an R-rated Star Wars movie to Disney:
“I pitched to Disney I said, ‘Why don’t we do an R-rated ‘Star Wars’ property? It doesn’t have to be overt, A+ characters, there’s a wide range of characters you could use.’ And I don’t mean R-rated to be vulgar, R-rated as a Trojan Horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don’t want to just gamble on something like that.”
