We Won’t See Adult Groot Again Says James Gunn
James Gunn has been AMAZING at sharing Marvel insights with fans during quarantine and has recently revealed some interesting info about everyone’s favorite sentient tree – Groot!
For fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, you’ll know that Groot gave up his life to save his friends at the end of the first Guardians film. However, it was teased in the post-credits that part of Groot would continue to live on as a sapling lovingly referred to as Baby Groot.
During a recent Q&A with fans, director James Gunn revealed that Baby Groot doesn’t really seem to be Groot reincarnated and that we probably won’t see the original Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward.
As We Got This Covered points out, Baby Groot is technically a new character and doesn’t possess Groot’s memories! For those following along with the franchise you’ll know that the new Groot has already gone from adorable baby to antisocial teenager by the ending of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Though little details have been given, we here at MickeyBlog suspect that we’ll still see him in teenager mode when Vol. 3 is released.
To back this theory up, we’ll share with you Gunn’s answer to a question in his Instagram story about whether we’ll see the OG adult Groot again.
As you can see, Gunn says, “Sadly that original Groot is no longer with us. So unless there is a prequel of some type, we won’t see him again.”
But fans of the loveable treant can still expect lots of new Groot. He’s already getting a Disney+ animated spinoff and Guaridans of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is expected to be released in 2023. Gunn has already said that this will be he last film with the Guardians. Should he reveal any more Groot-related insights, we promise to keep you posted!
