Rocket is the secret protagonist of Guardians of the Galaxy and has always been the center of it for me; and that really achieves that. The reason I came back, and I decided to make this movie , is that I really felt like Rocket’s story needed to be told – and it was left on hold after Part 2, so that’s the most important thing. It’s also the end of a trilogy. The first movie is about the mother, the second movie is about the father, and the third movie is about self. And that’s what this journey is about. …”
