Chris Pratt Talks About Being First To Say F**k In MCU For Guardians Of The Galaxy 3
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 contains the first use of the word «f**k» in MCU history. Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury nearly said the word in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War.

Similar to the MCU, no one in any Star Wars movie or TV series has ever said «f**k.» This almost happened, though, as Andor actually filmed an F-bomb, but it didn't make the final cut.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 releases on May 5 and wraps up the current series, though the franchise could live on with different actors in the future. Gunn,
