Actor Bradley Cooper who previously voiced Rocket Racoon in the Guardians of the Galaxy films is returning for a spin-off show titled I Am Groot. The actor was previously seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe voicing Rocket Racoon, which was brought to life through a combination of VFX and animatronics.
The Disney+Hotstar show, a series of short stories based on the adventures of the tree-like alien creature Groot, is set to premiere on 10 August 2022. Bradley Cooper voices an intelligent, talking raccoon-like creature who specialises in creating explosives with salvaged parts. The smack-talking raccoon is a part of a group of space bounty hunters who call themselves The Guardians of the Galaxy. The show is based on characters from the Marvel comics.
The show is currently confirmed to have six episodes and Rocket Raccoon will reportedly appear in at least one episode. James Gunn, director, and writer of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, has said that the series might not be canon to the MCU films.
