Black Adam's Rating Prevents A Future DCEU Problem

Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam nearly had an R-rating, but its official PG-13 rating prevents future DCEU problems. The debut of The Rock's anti-hero brings expectations of him helping usher in a new era for the shared universe. It seems that this nearly included another more adult DCEU movie, as Black Adam originally received an R-rating from the MPAA due to the movie's high violence. The DCEU has made R-rated movies before, including recently with The Suicide Squad. However, going back to this more mature rating would have been a big mistake, as it would have created a major problem for Black Adam's future.
