Summary:
- Deadpool & Wolverine’s trailer breaks the MCU record for the most swear words used in MCU history.
- There are a total of 6 F-bombs that were dropped in the trailer, surpassing any other MCU movies.
- This is not the first time the F-bomb has been dropped in an MCU title.
Deadpool & Wolverine has made a record-breaking splash in the Marvel Cinematic Universe three months prior to its release, for its rather… colorful language. The dynamic duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has returned as Wade and Logan, drawing an ensemble of both returning Marvel actors and fresh faces. The film’s latest trailer has smashed records, becoming the most-watched movie trailer ever in 24 hours, and it didn’t stop there.
According to LADbible, this new trailer also set a record for containing the most swear words ever in a Marvel trailer and in MCU history, surpassing all other MCU films combined in its liberal use of the F-bomb—including even such moments as the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Previously, the record was held between the initial Deadpool 2 trailer and the red band trailer for the first Deadpool film. Notably, the only complete F-bomb delivered in the MCU before this was in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
It seems that joining the MCU is not going to change Deadpool’s tendency for swearing or violence, as the trailer is filled to the brim with f**ks, gore, and even an elaborate cocaine joke at the end. Many Marvel fans worried that Disney might tone the blood and explicit words down a notch in the third movie to match the usual family-friendly tone, but luckily this doesn’t seem to be the case.
In just a two-minute span, the trailer delivers six F-bombs among other expletives, including s**t and d**k jokes, setting a new precedent for the MCU’s foray into R-rated content. This move marks Deadpool & Wolverine as the first-ever R-rated film within the MCU, promising a level of creative freedom Marvel fans have never seen before.
The first full f-bomb of the MCU was in Guardians of Galaxy Vol 3, in a hilarious scene in which Star-Lord yells ‘open the f**king door’ at Nebula when the latter attempts to drive a car.
The first full F-bomb dropped in the MCU occurred in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, where Star-Lord is seen yelling, “open the f**king door!” at Nebula as the latter attempts to drive a car. The rest of the f-bombs were just teased or perfectly cut at the right time, like in Spider-Man: Homecoming or Avengers: Infinity War. And guess what, it’s not going to be the only record that the threequel will break, either.
With the trailblazing success of the film’s trailers in both viewership and the bold use of explicit language, Deadpool & Wolverine is poised to make a significant impact at the box office. Both characters have enjoyed robust box office performances in the past, with Deadpool 2 grossing $786.3 million worldwide and Logan amassing $614.2 million.
Times will tell if Deadpool & Wolverine will break records left and right at the box office – but for now, fans can look forward to the overflowing amount of f*cks and other endearing ways of banter between the two X-Men in the upcoming threequel.
