What Vin Diesel’s Groot Movie Comments Mean
A Groot Solo Movie Would Explore A Mysterious Corner Of The MCU
Marvel hasn’t announced any Groot solo project afterI Am Grootseason 2’s 2023 release, or any continuation to James Gunn’sGuardians of the Galaxytrilogy, for that matter.Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 3’s endingconfirmed that Drax, Gamora, Mantis, and Nebula have retired, while Rocket Raccoon and Groot have formed another Guardians team, and Peter Quill has moved to Earth.Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 3’s credits teased that"The Legendary Star-Lordwill return”, possibly setting up a Star-Lord spinoff or an important role for Chris Pratt’s hero in an upcoming MCU title.
James Gunn Is Even More Right Now: The Guardians Of The Galaxy Are More Powerful Than The Avengers
James Gunn accurately predicted how the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy would surpass the Avengers in terms of power, all thanks to Vol. 3’s ending.
If Vin Diesel’s hint at a solo Groot movie materializes, it would cover an unexplored part of MCU lore. None of theGuardians of the GalaxyorAvengersmovies visited Planet X, and the only solid hint at possible stories on the alien planet came inSecret Invasion, where Groot’s planet of origin was briefly mentioned when the Super Skrulls' copied powers were revealed. The MCU has established that Planet X’s inhabitants, the Flora Colossi, speak the language Taluhnisan, which sounds exactly like the phrase"I am Groot"being spoken repeatedly.
