Summary
Deadpool may have insisted that pegging is new to Disney in theDeadpool & Wolverinetrailer, but at leastMarvel Studiosboss Kevin Feige knows what it is.The MCU is poised to releaseits first-ever R-rated movie with the highly anticipatedDeadpool & Wolverine, which has already beenbreaking world records with its trailerand ticket sales. Another record it is guaranteed to break, meanwhile, is the one for the most profanity and adult references seen in any Disney movie.
Regarding the “pegging” line, in particular, Kevin Feige revealed in an interview withVarietyhow some colleagues at Disney/Marvel were unaware of what “pegging” is, prompting him to elaborate. Fans of Marvel’s Deadpool franchise will already be well aware of the practice thanks to the R-rated activities of Deadpool’s first outing, and it is also 2016’sDeadpoolthat Feige can thank for his own knowledgeable position. His full quote is as follows:
I know what pegging is — it’s in the first Deadpool movie. But there were people I work with who didn’t know what it was. I had to explain it to them.
Deadpool & Wolverine: Release Date, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know
Marvel Studios is making Deadpool 3 as part of the MCU. Here’s everything we know about the R-rated sequel starring Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson.
Why Deadpool & Wolverine’s Pegging Joke Perfectly Encapsulates The Hero’s Humor
Deadpool’s “pegging” line comes early inDeadpool & Wolverinewhen he first encountersTVA agentsduring his birthday celebrations. Upon opening the door to the agents armed with Time Sticks, Wilson goads them by saying, “Is that supposed to be scary? Pegging isn’t new for me, friendo, but it is for Disney,” before breaking the fourth wall by glancing knowingly at the viewer. This is then immediately followed by a tussle in which the agents pull Wilson through a Timedoor and into the TVA itself.
Wade Wilson’s R-rated reference early in the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer certainly set the tone for what an audience (and studio) largely unaccustomed to adult themes can expect.

Ryan Reynolds has starred as Wade Wilson’s Deadpool in several live-action projects since 2009, becoming one of the most popular Marvel characters.
Deadpool & Wolverinemay be the MCU’s first R-rated movie, but it is not the first time that the franchise has delved into mature themes. Although their canonicity was, at one point, up for debate, most ofthe MCU’s Defenders SagalikeDaredevilandThe Punisherwere rated TV-MA, the TV equivalent of an R-rating, due to their high levels of violence. This is also something that fans can expect fromDeadpool & Wolverine,in addition to the near-gratuitous levels of lewd and profane humor that the Merc with a Mouth is bound to continue spouting with relish.
