James Gunn Shares Original Sketches of Rocket's Friends in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn recently shared the original sketches that he drew for Rocket Raccoon’s friends in the story, the friends from his tragic and sad past. Those friends include Lylla, Floor, and Teefs.
The story of these characters was both beautiful in the relationship that they formed with other, but also extremely sad with how that story turned out for them and how it affected Rocket’s life. The sketches came with the following note from Gunn:
My screenplays have grown increasingly unconventional over the years. By the time of #GotGVol3 my script included, of course, all the songs in the movie, but also a dictionary & breakdown of the humanimal language, maps, action designs & simple character designs like these - the basics of characters like Floor, who weren’t in the comics, & Lylla, who was adapted from the comics. The screenplay is the blueprint of the movie & anything I can include to help my crew understand the story & support the foundation, I’ll include. That said, also being the director, I transgress into many areas that are traditionally directorial - songs, visuals, shots, etc. So I wouldn’t necessarily suggest beginning screenwriters write screenplays like this!
You can check out Gunn’s original sketches below with the notes that he included. It’s pretty cool to see how Gunn’s vision for these characters started.
