Deadpool & Wolverine Sets Franchise Record for Most F-Bombs Used

As a lifelong comic book fan and language enthusiast, I must say that I’ve been thoroughly entertained by the latest box office sensation, Deadpool & Wolverine. The sheer audacity of this film to break records for the number of F-bombs is nothing short of impressive!


Right now, the movies featuring Deadpool and Wolverine are ruling the box office, amassing over $590 million worldwide. These films have revitalized Marvel Studios, which had been grappling with less successful projects for quite some time. Additionally, these superheroes have broken an unexpected record by including a significant amount of profanity in their movie.

Deadpool & Wolverine says ‘f***’ over 100 times

Under the direction of Shawn Levy, the film boasts more than 100 uses of a strong profanity, earning it the title for having the highest count of curse words in the Deadpool series.

As a diehard fan, I’m blown away to share that, just like us fans can’t help but drop a few choice words, Deadpool 3 allegedly let loose an astonishing 116 F-bombs over its 128-minute runtime! And if you stick around for the post-credits scene, there’s even more colorful language to be heard. This new film surpasses its predecessor, Deadpool 2, which clocked in at a still impressive 90 curse words.

Introducing Hugh Jackman’s character, Wolverine, into the franchise, along with the profane Deadpool, seems to have increased the number of swear words used. Known for his fiery temperament, Wolverine, with his retractable claws, has often displayed an aggressive demeanor in the X-Men films played by Jackman. The movie “Logan,” directed by James Mangold, was able to break the taboo of swearing due to its R-rating, thereby allowing Wolverine to use strong language, including the F-word. Notably, Logan featured a swear count of 40 instances of the F-word.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Deadpool and Wolverine marked the debut of an R-rated movie. However, even with its liberal use of profanity, it falls short when compared to iconic films in Hollywood. Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino’s projects have set the bar high in this regard. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Martin Scorsese’s Casino features a whopping 422 uses of the F-word.

In addition, Tarantino’s films Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs both have a significant number of swear words, with 265 and 269 instances, respectively. However, it is Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street that leads the pack when it comes to profanity, dropping an astonishing 569 F-bombs throughout its duration.
