Sean Gunn Ditched Rocket’s Green Onesie After The First Guardians Of The Galaxy

Sean has played Rocket in three “Guardians” movies, a TV special, and two “Avengers” films. At this point, he is well-practiced. He also had to take up extra work when Kraglin’s role was expanded in the “Guardians” sequels. He is one of the harder-working actors on set. After so many years, though, and so much crouching, the 50-year-old is more than ready to retire the part:

“Sometimes, it’s harder than others. When there’s walking and talking, it can be really challenging. That’s why I would say, from a physical standpoint, I’m going to have to retire as Rocket here. I’m going to be 50 pretty soon and some of the squatting and moving around is getting a little hard on my ankles and feet. I’m going to put that part of my performance to bed. It’s always a little different, but for the most part, the process has remained the same.”

Should more “Guardians” movies be made, perhaps Sean can stick with playing Kraglin. His brother, director James Gunn, has recently left Marvel to work on superhero movies at Warner Bros., effectively launching yet another superhero continuity with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and that crowd. One can rest assured that Sean will likely be offered a role somewhere in the DC Universe. He’d make a keen Batman.
