Dwayne Johnson’s starrer ‘Black Adam’ producers Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia confirmed that the movie originally received R-rating by the MPA. “Just kill them,” says Dwayne Johnson’s title character says at one point in Black Adam, according to his co-star Mo Amer. The comedian said he was taken aback by the departure from the honourable tough-guy persona Johnson has crafted through so many other films, as per the reports of Deadline.
“It just took me a second to recalibrate and be like, ‘Oh wow, this is going to be amazing,’ ” Amer told Collider recently. “He just completely — he obviously has a body of work, but you don’t see The Rock. You see Black Adam, truly.” The producers claimed that they wanted to give the character and the movie a darker, more brutal tone, but this caused some problems with the MPA.
According to Deadline, producer Beau Flynn told Collider it took “four rounds [with the MPA], and [the movie] just got the PG-13, I think, maybe four or five weeks ago.” Source: ANI
