James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to feature MCU’s first ever uncensored f-bomb

James Gunn has decided to finish his Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in style! For the first time in their 15-year history, Gunn has confirmed that they will include an uncensored F-bomb in the upcoming threequel.

James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to feature MCU’s first ever uncensored f-bomb

In a new clip for the MCU sequel, a frustrated Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) instructs Nebula (Karen Gillan) on how to "open the f—ing door" to a car. On Twitter, Gunn subsequently confirmed that "of course" the F-bomb will be uncensored in the actual film.

"You can only have one [uncensored F-word] in a PG-13 movie," Gunn tweeted, adding, "That said it wasn't planned — I told Chris [Pratt] to add it on set and it just made the moment funnier so we kept [it]." Vol. 3 is officially rated PG-13 for "intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements."

The official synopsis for Vol 3 from Marvel reads, "In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn't long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket's turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket's life — a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them."

The threequel stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, and Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary, Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, and Maria Bakalova as Cosmo.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 arrives in theaters on Friday, May 5.
