After 15 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally dropped a major swear word.
Actor Chris Pratt uttered the very first MCU f-bomb in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, making a major turn in what content is allowed in a Marvel film made by Disney.
The moment comes halfway through the film, with Pratt’s Peter Quill/Star-Lord tossing out an f-bomb in comedic frustration as he’s explaining to Nebula (Karen Gillan) how to open up a car door while on Counter-Earth.
Marvel films have included foul language before, but this latest Guardians of the Galaxy film has broken a barrier by including the harsher expletive.
“That was not scripted, no,” Pratt told the Toronto Sun on if the f-bomb was in the script. “There’s a five or six-minute period of the film where we were trying to get a lot of laughs … I think [director James Gunn] told me to try saying that and I tried it and it made it in. But it’s not the first time I’ve tried to get an F word into the movies.”
