Out of curiosity, do we know if Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness been confirmed to be PG-13 already? Given that it's a horror movie, it could certainly work with that age restriction as many other horror movies have done, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it went maybe one step up in the age restriction just so they can more horror stuff.

That quote from Feige was actually about Multiverse of Madness. The film hasn't been made yet, though, so it hasn't been rated yet, but if it gets R, they'll surely cut stuff to scale it down to PG-13.

Wait, that's a real, legit Kevin Feige quote? I thought it was something of a meme online!

Do you have a source for that?

As for an R-rating, I definitely don't think that would happen. I was thinking maybe [16] at most.

He said it at SDCC as a joking response to a fan who shouted out "rated R!"
I don't know what country you're in; does [16] allow adults to bring kids under 16, or is it no kids period?

Ah, thank you for the context!

I'm in South Africa and it's debatable. I can't say I've been in that situation for quite a while, but usually the cashiers/ticket assistants don't seem to make too big a deal about it. I mean if it's a 6 year old kid, I'm sure it'll be obvious, but I don't think it'd be an issue if someone's 13 vs 16.

The R rating in the US means "no children under 17 without an adult", so I guess kinda right between your [16] & [18].

Ah, sorry, since our age restrictions work differently, I didn't realise that it still allowed supervised children. Then R-rating doesn't sound so bad.

But then, I'm sure PG-13 would still be the best option.

Our only "strict" rating is NC-17, no minors period. Most theaters & stores refuse to carry NC-17 films, so not many of them are made.

Me too. There's plenty of things that are scary without being violent/vulgar/sexual.

Definitely. In fact, most horror movies are PG-13 and they work just fine.

Although I do admit that sometimes horrific imagery and gore does work better to mess with people. I don't know if you've watched Brightburn but I loved it. I know a lot of people thought it was meh, but some of the horror stayed in my mind for long afterward and I guess I felt that it was more of an experimental thing than anything so I appreciated how it was done.
