Director confirms Bradley Cooper won't be the sole voice for Rocket in all of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 scenes. The upcoming movie will heavily feature Cooper's beloved character, delving into his backstory for the first time in the nine-year history of the MCU. There have been rumors circulating that Cooper's character may meet his demise in this installment, and while James Gunn has not confirmed this, he has not denied the possibility either.
Despite returning for his eighth Marvel Studios film to voice Rocket, Bradley Cooper will not be the sole voice actor for the character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The film's director, James Gunn, took to Twitter to announce that multiple actors will lend their voices to Rocket Raccoon in the upcoming movie. In response to an article that highlighted the actors voicing new animal creations in the film, Gunn confirmed that Cooper will only voice the adolescent and adult versions of Rocket. Alongside Cooper, Noah Raskin will voice baby Rocket, while Sean Gunn, James Gunn's brother, will voice the younger iteration of the character.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will delve deeper into Rocket's backstory than any other MCU film, as teased in a recently released clip featuring Rocket alongside Lylla the Otter, Teefs the Walrus, and Floor the Rabbit. Director James Gunn shared an image of himself with the four actors portraying these characters, including Linda Cardellini in her second MCU role, on the first day of filming. Gunn commented on the "intense" VFX process, which required shooting all of the motion capture and camera capture before animation, as it was a time-consuming endeavor. Despite the painstaking process, the director expressed his confidence in the extraordinary cast and the magical result they achieved.
This news signifies that Sean Gunn will be taking on his second on-screen role in the MCU, in addition to his part as Kraglin, as he brings a younger version of Rocket to life. While Gunn is known for his dual-role as Rocket's on-set reference and Kraglin in the Guardians franchise, this represents a significant shift for voice roles in the MCU. While this is Gunn's first voiceover role, it is the beginning of a trend that will continue with his casting as Weasel in the DCU's Creature Commandos. This will be an interesting change for Rocket's voice, as Bradley Cooper has been the only one to voice the character in his previous MCU appearances.
It is worth noting that Vin Diesel has portrayed every iteration of Groot in the MCU, including Adult Groot, Baby Groot, Adolescent Groot, and now Swole Groot, spanning over the past nine years. With James Gunn's work being lauded as one of the MCU's most outstanding films in recent memory, the addition of Sean Gunn in this new role will bring an extra level of anticipation to the story's development. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to release in theaters on Friday, May 5th.
Director James Gunn has confirmed that Bradley Cooper will not be the sole actor voicing Rocket Raccoon in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie. The film places a significant emphasis on Cooper's beloved hero, providing a thorough exploration of his backstory for the first time in his nine-year MCU tenure. Speculation has circulated that Cooper's character may face the risk of being written out in this third installment, and while Gunn has not outright refuted the rumors, the possibility of the cosmic trash panda's journey coming to a conclusion remains.
