Chris Pratt jokes about delivering Marvel`s first `F-bomb`
– Moviesapple
Hollywood stars Chris Pratt is "proud" to be the first person to drop an F-bomb in a Marvel movie. The actor, 43, attended the world premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in
Los Angeles Thursday, where he spoke with Variety about using the expletive in its entirety for the first time ever within the superhero franchise, reports People. "Yes, I do drop
the first F-bomb. Take that Samuel L. Jackson!" Pratt said, referencing how fellow Marvel costar Jackson, 74, is known for using the F-word in his movie career. As Pratt`s co-star
Elizabeth Debicki asked if the curse word was in the script, the actor replied: "No, it was not. It was not scripted." "Everyone`s been trying to improvise F-bombs for 10 different
years ... and finally one made it in," Pratt continued. "Usually when you start dropping F-bombs in like an improv scenario, it's really your indication to the filmmaker that you'd
like to move on a" and they actually put it into the film, so that's pretty good. I'm really proud. I did it!" Pratt echoed similar sentiments about using the curse word while
making a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday. After host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out Pratt's usage of the word, he then referenced Jackson as well, joking, "How did Sam
Jackson not get that honor?" "He must be Nick Furious right now," Kimmel, 55, continued, using a play on Jackson's Marvel character's name, Nick Fury. "He's Nick Furious," Pratt
responded, laughing in agreement. "I think everybody's tried [to use the F-word before]you know?" The Motion Picture Association film rating system allows for one F-word in order
to remain PG-13 instead of R. GOTG Vol. 3 is rated PG-13 for "intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements." Pratt
noted: "Everyone`s always lobbying, like, throwing it out in improv, trying to get it in there. For years I`ve tried, it`s not the first time I tried to get (a curse) in a movie. ,
and they edited it together, and it was a funny beat, so they kept it," he continued. As Kimmel asked the star if those working behind the scenes on the film were aware they were
"getting into different territory," Pratt claimed that President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige went to Guardians director James Gunn "and said, `Listen, you don` t wanna be the guy
who is known for having the first F-word in your movie.`" He added: "And James was like, `Yes I do! That`s exactly [what I want], Don`t you know me?` And so they kept it in." Pratt
