Improvised by Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 features the first F-bomb to be uttered in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new film
Of all those situations in which curse words were said in the MCU, both on and off-screen, Quill's F-bomb in Vol. 3 is the only one that we wouldn't even notice if not for everybody making a point of showing it to us.
While the use of swearing in Marvel films is certainly nothing new, the use of the F-word is a surprising development for the primarily suitable-for-all-ages franchise.
Although the Ryan Reynolds-fronted Deadpool films are filled with curse words, no true MCU film has ever included "fuck" in its final cut. The word has previously been cut off by credits or humorously censored in films like Iron Man 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Improvised by Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 features the first F-bomb to be uttered in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is definitely a film that's earned its PG-13 rating, pushing the boundaries of it by introducing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first F-bomb.
See below for our full tabulation of every time an Avenger swears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, counted up through Avengers: Infinity War. There are almost no surprises on this list. The Avenger with the worst potty mouth, by far, is Tony Stark. He clocks in at 44 swear words, mostly of the “ass” variety.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is currently in theaters making MCU history by featuring the first F-bomb in Marvel Studios' ambitious storytelling project.
James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 holds the honor of having the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first F-bomb, but there's a better place they could have used the word for greater emotional impact.
After learning that Captain America is not a virgin, Jennifer begins to scream, "Captain America fu-" before the scene ends and cuts her off. Instead of letting She-Hulk become the first MCU project to drop an f-bomb, the post-credits scene continues the trend of Marvel censoring it in some form.
That changes in Gunn's trilogy capper, which sees Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) drop the McU's first F-bomb. In one scene, Nebula (Karen Gillan) is struggling to open the door of a car so she, Star-Lord and Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) can find the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji...
'” Gunn went on to say that MCU boss Kevin Feige revealed to Gunn that the Russo Brothers had put an f-bomb in an early cut of Avengers: Endgame, but removed it because they didn't want it to be their legacy.
I did a lot of takes where I actually say, "Oh, f**k" and I thought, in Disney, because it's TV or whatever, that you get one F-bomb. But ultimately, not even one. We don't even get the one, so we had to change it. But basically, that is just my homage to that."
Peter Quill is shown in a polyamorous relationship. Space adventurer Peter Quill (a.k.a. Star-Lord) is shown in a polyamorous bisexual relationship in the latest issue of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic.
As one commentator notes, Hollywood “uses the f-word as a sort of signal to attract the audience it wants: the 15-to-25-year-olds who rush out to opening weekends and put a movie on the map.”
In a new TV spot, the Guardians of the Galaxy fan-favorite gets told by Peter Quill (or Star-Lord, played by Chris Pratt) to put his video game away. “I don't want to tell you again,” Quill says. To which Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) gives his usual reply of “I am Groot,” but in a mocking tone and with major side-eye.
Not 'Ms'. The other M-word: mutation. As Matt Lintz's Bruno points out to Iman Vellani's Kamala, he's noticed something strange when looking into her genetic make-up, something that explains why she has powers when the other members of her family don't; some kind of mutation in her DNA.
Profane words include: 2 uses of "shit", 2 uses of "ass" (1 time, spoken by 3 characters in unison), 4 uses of "hell", 3 uses of "damn", and 1 "bastard".
Profanity (1)
Several uses of "hell", "damn", and "crap".
The sequence is as follows: Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car. That definitely looks like a deliberately confusing group of words, and Marvel doesn't make it easy for fans to figure out what they mean.
It's based on a Marvel Comics character. It contains violent and disturbing scenes that make it unsuitable for younger children and teenagers.
Like any Marvel movie, Thor features some violence and fighting. But there are lots of laughs to balance it out, and it's surprisingly light on profanity. It's especially fun watching the golden-haired superhero learn about “normal” human things—like drinking a cup of coffee.
Avengers: Endgame already established that he has America's ass, and now, thanks to being named People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2022, Captain America star Chris Evans apparently has America's everything else, too.
