Warner Bros. Removed ‘Aquaman’ Detail To Earn Lower Rating In UK

Warner Bros. made a small change to James Wan’s Aquaman in order to earn a 12A rating in the UK as opposed to a 15 rating.

Digital Spy reports the studio made a small change in order earn a lower rating in the UK. The British Board of Film Classification originally rated the film as 15 due to a “bloody detail.” With Warner Bros. aiming for the UK’s equivalent of a PG-13 rating, the studio edited out the bloody detail with the film now rated 12A. The new UK rating means the film is suitable for audiences 12 years and older.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Aquaman will be released in theaters on December 21, 2018.
