Guardians Of The Galaxy 3: 10 Things We Want To See

3. Some Backstory On Rocket

One of the most surprisingly emotionally charged moments from the first Guardians movie was when Rocket drunkenly ranted about how it feels to be a genetic creation. Talking racoons are clearly not the work of nature, and the films have expertly kept Rocket's past enough of a mystery to justify his standoffish dialogue and aloof personality. However, fans need to find out where he came from eventually.

Rumours are currently circulating that the creator of the foul-mouthed racoon will be making their way into the sequel and will be played by none other than Mark Hamill. This is, of course, a great source of excitement, as Hamill is always a ton of fun - especially when he's in space. But, whether it happens or not doesn't matter; we just want to know a little more about this fan-favourite character's dark past.

This backstory has the potential to be a whole arc for Rocket, and the group, which could lead to an incredibly moving movie. It's rare to see vulnerability from the "trash panda", so it would make for a satisfying change to the dynamic.
