I am Groot. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now in theaters and the film has no shortage of emotional moments. Vin Diesel, one of the film’s stars, discussed one of them in particular.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 spoilers ahead!
- In a brief interview with Entertainment Tonight, which you can see below, Guardians star Vin Diesel discusses a specific scene from the end of the film.
- As things are wrapping up, Groot, who is famous for his very limited vocabulary, says to his team/family “I love you guys.”
- This may have been interpreted as Groot finally expanding his vocabulary to communicate with his team, but Diesel explains that this was not the case.
- Instead, Diesel says this moment “meant that the audience was now able to understand the vernacular, the language of this Flora Colossus.”
- As if the film and this moment weren’t emotional enough, writer/director James Gunn really went the extra mile to make Marvel fans feel every bit like they are a part of this family.
