So it kind of goes without saying that David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult will be back after the events of Superman, in theaters July 11. But if you ask them about it, they aren’t so sure.

Superheroes have not been complete strangers to R-rated movies. All three "Deadpool" entries were R-rated as was 2017's "Logan". But traditionally the studios have made sure to restrict R-rated material to darker characters like Wolverine and Deadpool.

Even without having seen the film itself and only the trailers, we know that James Gunn’s Superman already has a more upbeat and positive Man of Steel than any we’ve seen in a film in decades.
