More entertainment in store from Baby Groot according to GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 panel.
One of the highlights of Comic-Con was the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 footage shown at the Marvel Studios panel. It ended with Baby Groot stealing the show.
Marvel Studios Head Kevin Feige was asked how much Baby Groot remembers from his past, which includes moments from the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
“He remembers,” Feige reveals. “He’s not mentally a baby, he is still Groot… I sort of equate it to Spock circa the end of Search for Spock and The Voyage Home.”
Feige also went on to say that Groot and Rocket Racoon will be major entertainment in the sequel.
“The amount of heart that you get out of this trash panda raccoon and now this little twig baby Groot is actually awe-inspiring. It is amazing what he’s done with those two characters.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is expected to be released May 5, 2017.
