Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be coming to theaters soon and more and more focus appears to be going to Rocket Raccoon. Marvel shared a new clip from the upcoming film and, while the character does not actually appear in it, Rocket seems to be the primary focus of the team.
- The new clip sees Star-Lord, Groot and Nebula heading out while leaving Drax and Mantis behind to protect Rocket because, as Star-Lord says, “that’s who they’re coming for.”
- The team appears to be leaving a house on what might be the MCU’s version of Counter-Earth surrounded by what might be the MCU’s version of the New Men. You can get more information on both of those here.
- As Nebula struggles with a car door, Star-Lord appears to say a word that has not yet been heard in the MCU, though it is bleeped out in the clip.
- This is an interesting development as we get closer and closer to the debut of Deadpool in the MCU, with Deadpool 3 set to be the studio’s first R-rated film.
