AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018): Rocket Raccoon To Appear In Marvel Crossover

Guardians Of The Galaxy Avengers Infinity War

Rocket Raccoon Confirmed To Play Role In Avengers: Infinity War

Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Rocket Raccoon has been confirmed to feature in Marvel‘s upcoming crossover film Avengers: Infinity War.

The announcement was made by none other than Sean Gunn, who provides the motion-capture action that is used to portray the character. While he has undoubtedly been busy working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the actor has revealed that that film will not be the last time we see the weapon-wielding raccoon. Posting on his Instagram account “thejudgegunn”, Gunn shared a picture of himself holding a mug and explaining that he has started work on a new project, although he “can’t say what it is.” The joke, however, is that the mug bears a never-before-seen Avengers logo and, more tellingly, he is wearing a beanie that reads “Infinity War”, leaving no room for speculation as to what the project is.

CBR.com also shared this about the production:

Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” co-star Dave Bautista recently opened up about his role in the film, suggesting that there will be a lot of familiar faces in the “Avengers” threequel. “I don’t think anybody who is a current character is not going to be in ‘Infinity War.’ [Laughs] That’s just my opinion. I haven’t gotten confirmation on who all is going to be in the film, but I think that they’re really going to go all-out on this.”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
