10 Other MCU Prequels We'd Like To See
3. When Rocket Met Groot
As said before, the MCU origin stories of the Guardians of the Galaxy are sketchy at best, and two characters that clearly have a history together are Rocket and Groot. The two joined the team as a pair, but we know absolutely nothing about their relationship before they met Quill and Gamora on Xandar.
We simply need to see who these two incredible characters were before they met, and how they became to be one of the MCU's most beloved duos.
Rocket Raccoon's backstory is a tragic one, as he was used as the subject of many experiments, being taken apart and put back together again. In the comics, the creature comes from a planet known as Half-World, which would give the franchise the opportunity to explore yet another wonderfully unique world. A daring escape, similar to that from the Kyln, would be on the cards, allowing Rocket to cross paths with Groot, wherever he came from.
The fact that Thor took a class on how to speak Groot suggests that there was once an entire race of the creatures, yet even the Collector had never seen or even heard of one. What happened to Groot's people that they were all but wiped off the face of the Universe, and how did he come to be Rocket Raccoon's hired muscle? We need answers!
