After years of skirting around Disney's insistence to shy away from mature and adult content, it appears that Marvel Studios is finally ready for the closest thing to an R-rated entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet. Although Moon Knight is still very much friendly enough for younger audiences, parents might want to consider enjoying this one with their children following a recent change to the upcoming show's ratings on Disney+.
Ahead of Moon Knight's premiere on March 30, Disney+ U.K. updated the rating of the Oscar Isaac-led series to a 16+ age rating from 12+. What's interesting about this change in the listing is that Moon Knight now shares the same maturity rating as The Punisher and Jessica Jones, as well as Netflix's other former Marvel shows, at least in the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Daredevil remains the only show from The Defenders Saga with an 18+ rating.
Of course, the United Kingdom usually positions its age ratings above the United States. Case in point, The Batman might have remained a PG-13 outing for American audiences while British regulatory bodies gave the Matt Reeves film got a higher 15+ rating instead.
