15 Most Hotly Anticipated Movie Scenes Of 2017

2. Baby Groot With The Bomb – Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

You can mark it down now; Baby Groot will be THE hot Christmas toy item of 2017. The trailer for Guardians Vol. 2 confirmed this, opening with the downright adorable little guy struggling to gasp Rocket Raccoon’s argument that he shouldn’t press the button that will activate a nuclear bomb.

There’s a lot to be excited about for the film, including the inclusion of Kurt Russell as Ego The Living Planet, but the studio clearly realised this scene was pure gold, since the whole trailer is built around it.

Instead of a big action setpiece or teasing the new cast or villain, it’s all about Baby Groot messing around with a bomb. Given the response to this scene alone, that will be enough to guarantee a big opening weekend.
