(WSIL) � Disney is releasing its first R-rated movie in 6 years Thursday with Stuber.
Disney is known as a family-friendly company that, in the past, has avoided going over a PG-13 rating. However, with the recent merger with Fox, they’ve crossed into a new era.
Stuber is an action/comedy that stars Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick). It’s a project that Disney acquired as part of its $71 billion merger with Fox.
The last time Disney released an R-rated flick was when their Touchstone Pictures division released The Fifth Estate, a thriller starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Alicia Vikander, in 2013.
