Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn has given some additional insight into in the Marvel Studios sequel.
Near the end of the movie, Groot says, “I love you guys” to the Guardians of the Galaxy. A theory by i09 posited that this could be the audience understanding Groot now after spending multiple movies with him rather than Groot actually verbalizing words other than “I am Groot.”
When a Twitter user tweeted Gunn to see if this was true, the filmmaker confirmed that this was “exactly” what Groot’s last line meant.
Spoiler…. Yes that’s exactly what it means.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was once again written and directed by James Gunn. MCU vets Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Sean Gunn, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel return to reprise their respective roles as Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Kraglin, Nebula, Mantis, Rocket, and Groot. Bodies Bodies Bodies star Maria Bakalova joins on as Cosmo the Spacedog.
The sequel also features the introduction of franchise newcomers Will Poulter and Chukwudi Iwuji, who portray the roles of Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now in theaters.
