Black Adam’s producers cut down violent scenes to get PG-13 rating for film. Read details

The plot of Black Adam revolves around the anti-hero, a powerful metahuman in the DC universe. The anti-hero, Black Adam, delivers justice according to his twisted vision, and criminals face execution. The American Society of Justice is always looking for ways to stop Black Adam. With a weird plot, it is natural that the film would have ample scenes of violence.

The producers, however, saw the commercial limitations of the certain R-rating that the film would have received. The decision, therefore, was to limit the aggression and violence in the film but keep it at a level matching the characters’ demands.

Smart Edits

The producers went ahead with a collaborative process with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) on reworking aggression and were happy with the result in the end.

Black Adam opens on October 21 in theatres across several regions worldwide.
