What Is The Marvels Rated & Is The Movie Appropriate For Kids To Watch?

«The Marvels» has received a PG-13 rating for featuring «action/violence and brief language.» Considering «Captain Marvel» received a similar rating, and emerged as a fan-favorite for children, it’s fair to say that «The Marvels» will be more of the same content-wise. Common Sense Media, an outlet that specializes in outlining media information for children, says that «Captain Marvel» is best suited for those aged over 10. 

While «The Marvels» will more than likely feature bits and pieces of chaotic, sci-fi action, the film’s rating doesn’t suggest that the project will be filled with gore and excessive violence. Similarly, «brief language» all but confirms that the Brie Larson-led project won’t be riddled with F-bombs, though the similarly-rated «Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3» did feature the franchise’s first F-word utterance. 

Seeing as it’s a personal choice for parents and guardians to decide if «The Marvels» is right for their kids, a decision to head to the cinemas should be based on the maturity of the child. Ultimately, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been designed to appeal to children, and it makes sense that the film’s creatives want to appeal to today’s youth. While speaking with CTV prior to the film’s release, Larson opened up about how important the cinematic debut of «Captain Marvel» would be for young, particularly female-identifying children. «I’m really excited that there is a symbol of women,» Larson said. «I think that that’s really important.»

With «The Marvels» focused on empowering women of all ages and backgrounds, it’s difficult to deny the impact it could potentially have on kids.
