In The Sensational Spider-Man #-1 (July 1997), Groot was featured in a nightmare of the young Peter Parker. Groot reappeared in 2006 in the six-issue limited series Nick Fury's Howling Commandos, and appeared in the Annihilation: Conquest and Annihilatio Conquest — Star-Lord limited series. Groot went on to join the Guardians of the Galaxy in the series of the same name, and remained a fixture of the title until its cancellation with issue #25 in 2010. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige first mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy as a potential film at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International, stating, "There are some obscure titles, too, like Guardians of the Galaxy. I think they've been revamped recently in a fun way in the [comic] book."!5] Feige reiterated that sentiment in a September 2011 issue of Entertainment Weekly, saying, "There's an opportunity to do a big space epic, which Thor sort of hints at, in the cosmic side" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Feige added, should the film be made, it would feature an ensemble of characters, similar to X-Men and The Avengers.!61 Feige announced that the film was in active development at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International during the Marvel Studios panel, with an intended release date of August 1, 2014. He said the film's titular team would consist of the characters Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket.{Z) In September 2013, Vin Diesel stated that he was voicing Groot,8! though Marvel did not confirm Diesel's involvement in the film at the time.{9]01I1] Characterization Adult Groot Groot is first introduced as Rocket's partner appearing in the film Guardians of the Galaxy.{!2] He has a limited vocabulary, using only his popular catchphrase "I am Groot”, although he later managed to say the phrase "We are Groot” before sacrificing his life for the Guardians of the Galaxy in the battle with Ronan for an infinity stone. Other Groot characteristics include the ability to grow his branches in height, length, and girth (assimilating arms and legs), vining branches, growing flowers and producing a form of luminescent seeds.

Diesel stated that he provided the voice and motion capture for Groot, after originally being in talks to star in a new Phase Three Marvel film.L405I8] pjesel also provided Groot's voice for several foreign-language releases of the film.!1 Krystian Godlewski portrayed the character on set, though his acting was not used in the final character CGI."7I0'8] On the character, which Gunn based on his dog," Gunn said, "All the Guardians start out the movie as bastards—except Groot. He's an innocent. He's a hundred percent deadly and a hundred percent sweet. He's caught up in Rocket's life, really.” Gunn added that the design and movement of Groot took "the better part of a year" to create.!2°] Gunn added, "The ways in which Vin Diesel says, 'I am Groot,' I am astounded. All of the ‘I am Groots’ that were earlier voices didn't sound very good at all ... Vin came in and in one day, laid down all these 'I am Groot' tracks, and he's a perfectionist. He made me explain to him with ever [sic] 'I am Groot,’ exactly what he was saying ... It was amazing when we first put that voice in there how much the character changed and how much he influenced the character."24) Regarding the limited words used by Groot, Diesel said in many ways this was, "... the most challenging thing to ask an actor to do."(22] Diesel found an emotional note in his performance, invoking the death of his friend and Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker, saying, "This was in December [2013], and the first time I bips:lenwkipeci.or/vikiGroot_{Marvl_Cinematic_Universe) 29sv20'23, 454 AM Groot (Marvel Cinematic Univers) - Wikipedia came back to dealing with human beings after dealing with death, so playing a character who celebrates life in the way Groot does was very nice."|23] Groot's form and size-changing abilities are seen, with Gunn stating that he has the ability to grow in the film.[241 ‘The mature Groot appears to be nearly indestructible, as seen when his limbs are chopped off and by his ability to thicken his branches into a protective mass that's impenetrable by bullets. He serves as a friend, shield and protector of Rocket and his fellow Guardian friends. Young Groot Following adult Groot's death!25] in the crashing of Ronan's spaceship, Rocket recovered and planted pieces of his branches in a flower pot which grew into his son, Baby Groot, whom Rocket raises and is later seen as teenage Groot.!2°ll27] The character began growing from a sapling at the end of the first film, with James Gunn intending for him to be fully grown by the sequel. Gunn eventually decided to keep him as "Baby Groot", which was one of the reasons the film is set only a few months after the first.(28) Gunn described Baby Groot as the son of Groot from the first film,!29) with Diesel explaining that "we're going to see this goofy, adorable, baby Groot [just] Kinda learning as he goes."!321l3+] prop master Russell Bobbitt created a 1:1 scale model of the 10- inch (25 cm) Baby Groot for filming, to use as a lighting reference and sometimes as a puppet for the actors to interact with.{32] As Groot only communicates with the phrase "I am Groot" in different inflections, Gunn created a "Groot Version” of the script for himself and Diesel, which contains each of Groot's lines in English.[33] Diesel used a higher register of his voice for Baby Groot, which was pitched up by seven to nine semitones depending on the take. He also delivered lines slowly to avoid any time stretching issues.4I Diesel recorded Groot's voice for sixteen foreign-language releases of the film (up from six in the first film).{35] Sean Gunn provided on-set reference for adolescent Groot in the post-credit sequence.|36) Fictional character biography Adult Groot Guardian of the Galaxy A sentient tree-like being, Groot becomes associated with the raccoon-like mercenary Rocket. In 2014, on the planet Xandar, they spot Peter Quill fighting Gamora for possession of the Power Stone. Rocket and Groot interfere in their fight, as they attempt to capture Quill for a bounty. All four are captured by the Nova Corps and sent to the space prison, the KyIn. Rocket devises a plan to escape from the Kyin involving taking a device from high up on the walll as a last step, but Groot, innocently meaning to help, extends himself to a great height and takes the device, triggering alarms and forcing the rest to accelerate the plan. They escape along with KyIn inmate Drax, and the five then travel to Knowhere to sell the Power Stone, where Rocket and Drax have a heated argument. After Drax drunkenly calls powerful enemy Ronan to confront him, and Ronan easily beats Drax and acquires the Power Stone, Groot saves Drax by forming a sharp point and injecting something into Drax's chest. Rocket wants to flee, but is convinced by Groot and by Drax's apology to help save Xandar from Ronan's attack.

Groot sacrifices himself to shield Rocket and the others, and the remaining Guardians are able to gain control of the Power Stone and destroy Ronan. Rocket plants a sapling cut from Groot in a pot, which grows into a baby of his species, whom Rocket names Groot in his biological father's honour. 1! Young Groot Birth and facing Ego Following the death of his father, "Baby Groot" is grown from a sapling cut from him and grown in a pot, and raised by Rocket as his son on Peter Quill’s ship as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, named in his biological father's honour. Groot subsequently learns to dance from listening to Quill’s music, freezing in place whenever Drax looks at him. Two months later, the Guardians of the Galaxy are hired by the Sovereign to protect valuable batteries from an inter-dimensional monster. Baby Groot accompanies them, but rather than fighting the monster picks fights with rat-like reptiles in the area. When Quill’s father Ego reveals himself to the Guardians, they split up so that Quill, Gamora, and Drax can go with Ego to his planet while Rocket and Groot stay behind to watch Nebula and repair the ship. Ravagers arrive searching for Quill and, after a fight, capture Rocket and Groot and free Nebula. The Ravagers mutiny against their leader, Yondu, and mistreat Groot, with one Ravager pouring drinks on him and stomping on him. After the Ravagers fall asleep, Rocket and Yondu plot their escape, and Groot tries to find Yondu's fin. Eventually, Groot kills the Ravager who had tormented him and they destroy most of the Ravager vessel except for a breakaway quarter, in which they travel to Ego. They learn that Ego is an evil living planet intent on dominating the universe. Quill keeps Ego occupied in combat with his newfound Celestial powers until Rocket is able to assemble a bomb, which Baby Groot places in Ego's brain. Infinity War and resurrection In 2018, an older, video game-addicted Groot and the rest of the Guardians respond to a distress signal and end up rescuing Thor, who is floating in space amidst the wreckage of the Statesman. Thor tells them of Thanos’ plan to obtains the Infinity Stones, and the Guardians split up, with Rocket and Groot accompanying Thor to Nidavellir to create a new weapon. They find an abandoned Nidavellir and meet the dwarf king Eitri. The four work together to create Stormbreaker, a powerful axe that also grants Thor the power of the Bifrdst. Thor is near death from the strain of creating the weapon, and Groot uses his own arm as a handle to finish the axe and heal rts himself, Rocket, and Groot to Wakanda on st to help the Avengers and the Wakandan army in the battle against the Outriders. Despite being severely wounded, Thanos is able to activate the Infinity Gauntlet, snap his fingers, and teleports away. As Rocket watches helplessly and Groot weakly calls out "...Dad?", Groot is among the half of living things in the universe to dissolve.[37] ‘An older teenage Groot’ in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 In 2023, after the other Avengers travel back in time to obtain past versions of the stones with which to restore those who had been destroyed, Groot is restored and reunites with Rocket in battling the forces of an alternate past version of Thanos.
