The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become a cultural phenomenon over the years, with its roster of superheroes captivating audiences around the world. However, one of the most beloved characters in the franchise is not a superhero but a rogue space adventurer with a talking raccoon sidekick – Rocket Raccoon.

First introduced in 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Rocket Raccoon has quickly become a fan favorite, thanks in no small part to the vocal talents of Bradley Cooper. As Marvel prepares for the third installment of the franchise, titled “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” fans are eager to learn more about the origins of the character.

In a recent interview, director James Gunn revealed that Rocket Raccoon’s origin story will be a significant part of the upcoming movie. According to Gunn, Rocket’s backstory will delve into his creation and how he became the character we all know and love.

One of the key elements of Rocket’s origin story is his connection to the iconic British rock band, Radiohead. According to Gunn, the band’s music played a significant role in shaping the character’s personality and emotional depth.

In the comics, Rocket Raccoon was originally created as a one-off character, intended to be a comedic addition to a storyline. However, the character’s popularity quickly grew, leading to his inclusion in the Guardians of the Galaxy team. Gunn’s interpretation of the character took things a step further, adding a layer of emotional complexity to the character that had not been seen before.

Gunn has been vocal about his love for Radiohead, and their music has been featured prominently in both “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies. In fact, the second movie’s opening sequence, featuring the hit song “Mr. Blue Sky,” was inspired by the band’s album, “OK Computer.”

The director has also revealed that Radiohead’s music will play a significant role in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” According to Gunn, the band’s music will be used to explore Rocket’s emotional journey and provide insight into his complex personality.

While the details of Rocket’s origin story are still under wraps, it’s clear that the character’s connection to Radiohead will play a significant role in the upcoming movie. As fans eagerly await the release of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” it’s clear that Rocket Raccoon’s emotional depth and complexity will continue to be a highlight of the franchise.
