Vin Diesel Talks Groot Ideas He Had for Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Guardians of the Galaxy was both one of the biggest hits of last year, but also one of the biggest surprises. As it was a relatively small Marvel property at the time, and many fans had no idea who all (or any) of these characters were. But it succeeded in numerous ways, one of which was the tree-being known as Groot, voiced by the amazing Vin Diesel.
With the sequel already underway, Vin Diesel stopped by IGN to talk about his ideas on what he’d like to see for Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Top among them? Giant. Groot.
“I’ve talked to James Gunn about that. I can’t give it away but I would love to see gigantic Groot.”
Oh, and he’s not talking like a 12 foot tall Groot, he means like mega robot sized Groot. And he has the perfect explanation as to why this could happen:
“I’d love to throw him into a forest and see how much mass that he consumes after devouring all the trees.”
And while it’s true that he could become giant on any forest world…Diesel would love it to happen in New York City.
“Imagine throwing him into Central Park in New York City. I just want to see Giant Groot.”
The movie is scheduled for release in May 2017.
