‘Deadpool’ gets ’15’ certificate for ‘strong bloody violence’

Ryan Reynolds-led Marvel movie hits UK cinemas on February 10

Deadpool has been given a ’15’ certificate for its UK cinema release.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) awarded the rating for “strong bloody violence, strong language [and] sex references”. Deadpool has already been rated ‘R’ in the US, which means anyone under the age of 17 will only be admitted to a screening if accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.

Meanwhile, Twentieth Century Fox have released a new teaser clip from the Ryan Reynolds-led Marvel movie, which you can watch below.
