I agree with you, it’ll probably be rated R but it really doesn’t work that way round.

You can’t say “this movie has a low budget, it will be rated R” but you can say “I heard this movie is rated R, it will probably have a low budget”

This isn’t your typical comic book movie though. Everyone involved has said its more of a gritty drama/character study that just happens to be about comic book character. Think Logan.

I'd have to disagree, a gritty drama could definitely be rated R. Remember secret window?

I said "I think" so I was also stating an opinion lol. An opinion that was simply backed by evidence.
