New Guardians Vol. 3 clip appears to show off the MCU’s first f-bomb
The worst cussing in the MCU to date is apparently provoked, not by galactic genocide, but old-school car door design
Aux News Marvel Comics
Despite all the dead people it tends to produce, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a determinedly PG-13 place—especially as it comes to language. (Obviously, there is no sex in the MCU; babies in Marvel movies come from off-screen time jumps.) But leave it to those potty-mouthed rascals in the Guardians Of The Galaxy to break through the barriers, as a new clip from the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 confirms, at long last, that the word “fuck” exists in the Marvel Universe.
(And yes, we know there are a few “fucks” in the Netflix Marvel shows, but those remain in a position of questionable canonicity—possibly because they take place in some distant, alternate “fuck”-iverse.)
This is all per a new clip from Guardians 3 that Marvel released this weekend, revealing that the first f-bomb in official Marvel history comes, not after several billion people died in a single snap-based moment, but as a result of old-school car door design. Said clip is mostly about establishing Chris Pratt and Karen Gillan (as Star-Lord and Nebula) as the new comic engine of the Guardians, but it does contain a (bleeped) f-bomb from Peter Quill after an irritating exchange about opening a car door in some kind of alien space suburb. (At least, it sure looks like a ‘fuck”; we’re going to be weirdly annoyed if it turns out Quill has gotten really into Battlestar Galactica alongside his new taste for modern music, and tossed out a “fracking” in this tense moment.)
As the various brainchildren of James Gunn, the film versions of the Guardians have always skewed more curse-ward than their terrestrial counterparts; we can only presume that they discovered this mysterious word of power while out gallivanting amongst the stars.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 hits theaters on May 5.

Slow news day?
Slow news day?
Maybe he’s a Farscape fan and he went with Frelled?Anyway, Quill dropped an F-bomb in the first GOTG after the explosion at The Collector’s place. It was masked by a lightbulb blowing out, but clearly an F-bomb.
And Garry Shandling dropped a couple of bleeped ones in ‘Iron Man 2.’
Not to mention the “What the f-”s at the end of the first two Spider-Men (and a bleeped one at the start of No Way Home). The fuck word has definitely existed in the MCU for a while. (There was also a sex scene in Eternals)
Also She-Hulk proclaiming “Captain America f***ks!”.
I got a semprini notification for this?
Groot looks like a guy in a suit you could get pictures taken with at Disneyland. It’s rather distracting.
Everything about the scene looks off. Hopefully it’s a few steps away from being finished.
While I’m sure that’s not entirely on purpose, I’m sure there’s definitely some people in corporate who are very interested in a Groot that could theoretically be walking around Disneyland.
It would be really cool if they zagged instead and created a Monster From Planet X early Timely/Marvel horror (Haunted Mansion level horror) ride version of Groot.
damn and it’s not even funny or delivered in a funny way! oh well
Well, THAT just happened!
Ironically this phrase has never appeared in any MCU movie but everyone on Twitter seems to think otherwise.
Because of the comic code, fuck doesn’t exist in the Marvel universe. Instead they say “Foveck”
“This guy fovecks!”
It really should have been Samuel L Jackson, instead they cut him off part motherfucker.
dollars to donuts they’re on some kind of ‘iddilic suburban’ planet where the swear word gets beeped automatically by magic or whatever.
well without any spoilers, they KIND of are…but I dont know if curse words magically get bleeped out.
That’s some forking nonsense.
The fuckening has begun!
That’s almost as shocking as the BRAND NEW SPR3 music video!
A long time ago Comedy Central aired a censored version of Quick Change where every “fucking” had been ADR’d to “viking.” It was almost better than the original.“Oh this is a viking nightmare.”
Yeah yeah whatever.(No MCU, not you.)
i knew all the guardians from the comic books-from annihilation, their own 2000’s series, i even had a rocket racoon limited series when i was a kid-so when they announced the movie, i was just like “let’s see.” But i went in knowing all of them.
Low-key the best running gag in these films is the fun ways they use the “one curse per film”/perfectly timed cut-offs.
… the first f-bomb until Deadpool makes his official MCU debut.There, fixed that for you.
