Will Rocket’s Backstory Be At The Center Of Guardians Of The Galaxy 3?
He’s already a fan favorite, but now it seems we all may get to know Rocket the Racoon a whole lot more.
Rocket the Racoon is hilarious, but there’s gallows-type humor that follows his every nefarious motion.
But, as Marvel Cinematic Universe fans, we really don’t know how and why Rocket is well, Rocket.
Polygon’s Susana Polo wrote as much in her latest post. However, she also explained — that based on some Twitter conversation — fans may soon find out much more about everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed rodent:
Rocket, a walking, talking raccoon from space who loves mechanics and explosions, could have been a wholly comedic figure, but Gunn, who has written or co-written both Guardians movies, has managed to inject a significant amount of pathos into the lonely little furball. And, as he told one fan on Twitter last night, that’s not by mistake.
Part of the cybernetics apparently painfully placed in his body. One of my favorite moments in the movie. Rocket’s loneliness and disaffection is at the center of the franchise for me. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotG https://t.co/F2tGn8XggD

Rocket has so far appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, as well as having a pretty significant role in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, in which he became a good buddy of Thor. And Gunn indicated that he intends to keep that streak going in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, saying “Rocket is a big part of what’s happening in the future.”
I’ll just say Rocket is a big part of what’s happening in the future – and a lot of this stuff (like the scars we’re about to see on his back) sets up what I’ve been planning for Rocket all along. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotG https://t.co/WLqoiG7Wzg

That sounds just fine to me.
Check out the rest of Susana’s piece over at Polygon.
Then, sit back, and wait for the production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to get underway.

[…] Frozen characters made several appearances. One of my personal favorites is Anna as Gamora. Their personalities are very different, but we think she’d totally kick butt. She might be a little clumsy, but she’ll fit right in with the humorous Guardians of the Galaxy. […]
