One Mind Blowing Secret From Every MCU Movie
6. That F-Bomb - Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3
As much of a mixed bag that Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 was, it will be long remembered for several key aspects. Rocket Raccoon's story arc was incredible, the corridor fight sequence towards the end was one of the best the MCU has ever seen, and of course, Peter Quill dropped the franchise's first F-bomb.
Watching other James Gunn properties, in particular Peacemaker, it's honestly hard to believe that such a thing took so long to come into the world of the Guardians. In 2023, Quill told Nebula to open the f**king car door, and it was never actually planned.
At no point included in the script, and never supposed to be in the film, according to Gunn's commentary, he suggested Pratt go with it more as a spur-of-the-moment type thing. Imagine just dropping something like this into a Disney project on a whim, then finding it to be all but uncuttable as it got the biggest laugh of the entire thing from the test audiences!
Naturally thinking Disney may have an issue with it, Gunn went straight to Kevin Feige, who, quite surprisingly, was completely on board, as long as Gunn was happy for that to be his legacy. He was.
