Warning! Minor spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 below!
The final installment in James Gunn's Guardians trilogy explores the origin of Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), depicting scenes of cruel torture at the hands of the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).
"Through Rocket, James Gunn has put a face, a name, and a personality on the millions of vulnerable animals being cycled through laboratories as we speak," Peta Senior Vice President Lisa Lange said in a statement.
"Peta is celebrating this as the best animal rights film of the year for helping audiences see animals as individuals and suggesting that just because we can experiment on them doesn’t mean that we should."
The film, which has been largely praised by critics, has knocked The Super Mario Bros. Movie out of its no. 1 spot at the global box office, bringing in over $282 million in its opening weekend.
