PG-13 seems like the perfect rating for these kinds of movies in terms of who can and wants to see them. The best way to gain new fans, is to recruit them when they are young. I get that making it "appealing to or fit for kids to watch" doesn't seem that appealing in of itself, but it just happens to be the most sustainable for a franchise.

If we go the other way, I think PG seems too low for these kinds of movies, which was why I was a bit wary of when it was rumored that they were planning a movie based on Power Pack, essentially a superhero version of 'Spy Kids'.

While an R-rated Spider-Man seems a bit extreme, even with a Marvel Knights series for that character, it would be a refreshing take if they did it.
