I AM GROOT Director Says She'd Like to Make a Rocket Raccoon Short Series, Or Maybe One About Baby AVENGERS

Kirsten Lepore has brought Marvel fans of all ages a lot of joy with her short series I Am Groot on Disney+. The series of minisodes is a ton of fun, and it features the baby version of Groot getting into all sorts of mischief. My favorite is when he hops in a mud bath and grows tons of sprouts that look like hair, and he sports all these different looks. Baby Groot is the cutest, and Lepore is down to continue the success of the series with other baby characters.

The director recently told ComicBook:

"My brain, of course, goes to Guardians first. What would a Rocket one look like? You know, baby raccoon stories?”

She went on:

"I could see them doing it with any character. If [there was] any way that we can do babies, but for the Avengers (laughs)."

Regardless of what the future holds for Marvel Studios digital shorts, Lepore emphasized that Groot is the perfect character to thrive in the space due to having a seamless transition from his theatrical animation to his streaming form.

"Although Groot really does fit super well because he works perfectly in the animated space. I think that was important to them. It's all animated after all, even though it does look like photorealistic CG plucked out of the world of the Guardians. It was nice to be able to do that super real world looking style. At the end of the day, he is a totally animated character. So it really made sense."

Are there any other characters you’d like to see in this fun short form? I Am Groot Season 2 is now streaming on Disney+.
