The Question

Though we know that Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) was created as a result of illegal experimentation, it's never been explicitly stated who built him. With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 reportedly set to delve into Rocket's origins, hopefully it might shed some light on the party responsible.

The Likely Answer

Given the torture Rocket endured they're clearly nobody good, and writer-director James Gunn stated back in 2017 that Rocket's creator is in fact hidden in the second Guardians film, yet evidently nobody's quite figured it out yet.

Gunn has also said that Rocket's creation story will be considerably darker than in the comics, where he was experimented upon by robots.

The possibilities are endless, really: it could be a totally anonymous mad scientist or the leader of a far-flung alien race, or even somebody we've already met.

Considering that Gunn seems set to center the threequel around Rocket, it's looking highly likely we'll get the answer either way.
