COMIC-CON 2012: Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon Photo

Old school fans of Marvel's run of comics throughout the 80s were either very excited or completely bummed out to see the inclusion of oddball character Rocket Raccoon in the Guardians of the Galaxy line-up released yesterday. We have another look at the little critch in a another, somewhat low-res photo.

About Rocket Raccoon


" Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship Rack 'n' Ruin, and he and his first mate Wal Russ (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld, in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats."

Guardians of the Galaxy comes to theaters August 1st, 2014 and stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker, Ophelia Lovibond, Lee Pace, Glenn Close, Karen Gillan. The film is directed by James Gunn.

    A little on the fence about this one. I never heard of the guardians of the galaxy before so this maybe good.

    @Salemwolf711 What you said about it being like The Avengers, but in space. That is what i was thinking as well. I think that would be a cool concept for a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

    @themoviefanatic Yes i know. I want this movie to be a live action. I feel if done in live action it will be the avengers but in space. Which is fine by me.

    @Salemwolf711 Yeah, i've got my fingers crossed that it isn't animated. It would be a big let-down if it turns out to be animated.

    I've read numerous reports saying this movie is definitely NOT animated. Live-action Guardians. Gotta include Thanos.

    Have they officially stated that the entire movie is going to be animated? I haven't read/heard anything about that. I mean, I can imagine Rocket will be CGI and stuff but... animated?

    This is not going to be animated because the villain is supposed to be Thanos and it will lead into the Avengers 2 where the Guardians will banish him to Earth and join forces with the avengers, so it would be stupid if it was animated. It will just be part CGI because it would be to hard to give a real raccoon orders and have a walking talking tree.
