9 Great MCU Characters Who'll Never Get A Solo Movie

9. Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon and Groot were the breakout stars of Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Rocket himself is prime for an origin story. It would make sense since audiences love him the furry guy, and Marvel has yet to try a solo movie with a purely CGI character.

The studio has a full plate ahead of them, though, and any potential spin-off would probably depend on the events of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2. Even then the studio needs to focus on introducing new heroes like Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel, and they’re unlikely to give a solo Rocket adventure much thought in the years ahead.

James Gunn has spoken positively of the idea and claims to have the character’s backstory mapped out, but he didn’t appear hopeful of it happening anytime soon.
