As with most Marvel villains, he doesn’t really think he’s bad, merely misunderstood. This leads to flashbacks involving the fan-beloved raccoon’s backstory and his relationship with the film’s villain, the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji, using his Shakespearean acting background to excellent imposing effect), who wants to create a new, higher evolved master race. He doesn’t have much time for moping, however, as the Guardians must rally themselves to save their beloved Rocket (Bradley Cooper), who’s at death’s door.

Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, Maria Bakalova ![]()
