Considering that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is just under a month away, it’s no surprise that the film has received an official rating. Similar to the first film, the sequel also carries a certificate of PG-13, this time for “sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content.”
For comparison, Guardians of the Galaxy was rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language.”
The only real takeaway here is that just like the beloved first film, the blockbuster will contain a decent amount of adult-oriented humor along with its sci-fi shenanigans. Essentially, it’s more of a good thing.
