Predicting 15 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2018

2. Rocket & Groot

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 Rocket Groot
Marvel Studios

There's been talk for quite some time about the awesome potential of a Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) spin-off movie, depicting them on some sort of adventure together, be it a Guardians prequel or a tangential side-adventure for the duo.

They're easily two of the most popular and merchandisable characters in the MCU right now, and a buddy movie between the two would be a huge success for Marvel Studios without question.

There's already an animated series of the same name featuring the pair, but clearly far greater success awaits them on the big screen, and if James Gunn can be convinced to take part, it could be a ludicrously entertaining adjunct to the core Guardians movies.

Guardians 3 is widely expected to drop in 2020, so a Rocket & Groot movie probably wouldn't land until at least 2021 if not 2022, but if Marvel Studios does indeed drop a long-range MCU forecast before year's end, there's definitely a chance this is part of it.
