With Guardians of the Galaxy now a massive financial success as well as a critical success, it's difficult to imagine the film could've been any different to how it was. So, it's absolutely shocking to learn that none other than Rocket Raccoon was left out of early drafts of the film's script! Nicole Perlman spoke with Yahoo Movies on the matter.
"There were versions that didn't have Rocket, early on." The co-writer explained. "There was a fear that Rocket would come across as too cartoony. But it all worked out." Perlman goes on to talk about Marvel's screenwriting programme and you can check that out at the source link.
So, are you shocked to discover Rocket may not have been a part of the film? Or can you see the reasoning behind the "cartoony" argument? Be sure to leave your thoughts down below!
