Exciting news has arrived for fans eagerly awaiting the release of Deadpool 3. After set photos showcased Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal of the beloved Merc with the Mouth in full costume, Karan Soni, who plays Dopinder in the films, has provided an encouraging update on how this irreverent and R-rated superhero will continue under Disney’s direction. He assures us that the movie will maintain the same level of grit and qualify as a “hard R” film, much like its predecessors. However, some internet users have pointed out that the term “hard R” might not have been the best choice of words.
During an interview with ComicBook.com, Karan expressed his optimism about working on the highly-anticipated third installment. Although he hasn’t had full access to the script due to the MCU’s stricter policies, he has caught glimpses of the project that he finds “very, very exciting.” He also praises Ryan Reynolds as a “creative genius” and expresses enthusiasm about the expanded possibilities within this new cinematic universe.
“I have begun working on that one, so I can say that it is the same as the other two. It’s like hard R. There’s a lot of that stuff. So it does not feel different. The only thing that, for me, is different is that I have not gotten the script this time. The other two, we did get it, it’s a big difference, at least for me, the MCU part of it vs. the Fox/Marvel part of it. They’re so strict. So I’ve only seen glimpses of what I’m in.”
“When I did some of the stuff, I saw some things that I didn’t know were in the thing. I think, I would just say it this way: Ryan [Reynolds] doesn’t need to do any of these movies unless he gets to do his version of it and he is such a star, and, I don’t need to say this, a creative genius. He’s taking this opportunity and really pushing everything and, definitely, he’s doing a lot of cool stuff. I feel very optimistic about it. Him and [director] Shawn [Levy], they work so well together, that I think it will be really exciting for people to see how they take their collaborations that they’ve done, now successfully twice, in this new version and play in this massive sandbox with a lot of stuff. It is very, very exciting. I will not underestimate Ryan Reynolds.”
Unfortunately, Karan’s use of the term “hard R” sparked confusion and backlash online. Users pointed out that “hard R” is slang for the N-word, making its association with a Marvel movie perplexing. Seeing “Hard R” trend on Twitter was unexpected and caused alarm for those aware of its implications.
This incident is not the first time a Hollywood actor has mistakenly used the term to describe the MPAA rating of their film. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney also made the same error while promoting their romantic comedy Anyone But You earlier this year. This repetition within a short period highlights the need for Hollywood to better understand and respect Black history.
It is important to note that Karan’s excitement for Deadpool 3 was not meant to be offensive to any community. If you were previously unaware of the meaning behind “Hard R,” it’s crucial to share this knowledge to prevent others from inadvertently perpetuating harmful slang. Let’s ensure that this misstep doesn’t become a recurrent term in Hollywood’s vocabulary.
