In a surprising turn of events for MCU fans, the franchise's first uncensored f-bomb was dropped in the film 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,' all thanks to director James Gunn. This milestone moment took place in 2023 and added a touch of humor to the scene where Chris Pratt's character, Peter Quill, frustratedly shouts, “Get in the f-cking car!” at Nebula, played by Karen Gillan.
James Gunn, known for his R-rated superhero films on the DC side, felt that the f-bomb was perfectly placed as a 'throwaway' moment. He wanted it to provide some levity without overshadowing more crucial scenes in the movie. The decision to include strong language in the MCU stirred some discussion at the time, but ultimately brought a chuckle to audiences without detracting from the film's overall impact.
