James Gunn Reveals What Teen Groot Said in his Moment in Avengers Infinity War

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has shared what Groot or rather Teen Groot had said to Rocket in Avengers Infinity War.

Gunn has a soft spot for both Rocket and Groot mainly because he’s developed the characters for two movies already. And whenever it’s possible, he also chimes in on various Marvel Studios movies involving the characters from GOTG.

Full spoilers ahead:

In Avengers Infinity War, Thanos manages to gain all six infinity stones and snaps his fingers to extinguish half of the universe. Among the casualties of this action were various members of the Avengers as well as Guardians member Teen Groot.

As he slowly dissolves into ash, Rocket looks on with horror and Teen Groot manages to utter one last “I Am Groot”.

Gunn has shared his thoughts on that scene and says:

This makes that scene more impactful and tear jerking. Because Rocket can’t do anything to save his “son” as this is totally beyond him. So imagine how Peter Quill would be when he finds out that Thanos also wiped out his “son”.
