Overall no, but as a potential trigger warning: in an early scene, the protagonist is knocked unconscious with a glass bottle in his home.

There's a brief joke where the protagonist's neighbour believes he is secretly watching/recording his naked uncle.

An antenna is surgically removed from the martian's head. A fleshy substance is cut to remove it, however there is no blood.

The Martian is shown to be bloated after eating too much ice cream, and there is also one throwaway joke about a fat man having eaten "one too many burritos" before using the restroom.

Two prominent sequences featuring tranquilizers (one injected into someone's neck and once from a dart gun), and one additional scene that happens off screen at the very end.

A woman seduces the protagonist in order to steal information from him. Also, the Martian twice uses a shapeshifting ability to pretend to be another character for deception purposes.

The martian's sentient suit is shot multiple times, and nearly dies as a result.

A minor antagonist who runs a news TV show is played by a Jewish actor, which plays into an antisemitic trope.

Some sequences involving Martian technology that makes vehicles (and the people inside them) much smaller, including a car chase scene through a sewage pipe. There's also a very bizarre sequence in which the Martian's limbs and head become detached from his body, and are for a time stuffed under couch cushions, in a laundry hamper, and in a backpack (the Martian is still sentient through this).

Chewing and spitting out gum is a frequent theme of the movie. In one scene the Martian is bloated and gassy from consuming too much ice cream.

There are several throwaway jokes where the Martian nonconsensually kisses someone, and one that implies a government scientist takes advantage of a woman who is tied up. There is also a throwaway joke involving the Martian's sentient spacesuit sexually harassing a woman in a clothing store.

In one scene, a closeup is shown of the martian's antennae being surgically removed. In another scene, the martian's limbs and head fall off his body, but the scene is not gorey and the parts are still alive and moving.
