Before the release of Guardians of the Galaxy 1, few people knew about this Marvel Super British team.
But after the release of this movie, the whole world became aware of this celestial group that could save the galaxy by awkward dancing.
In fact, we had the opportunity to meet this awkward dance troupe before 2014, because Marvel had planned to shoot a solo short film for the team members before the release of Silver Guardian 1.
According to "Marvel Studios Story", Marvel intends to shoot 4 short films, first to make them famous and pave the way for "Silver Guardian 1".
However, Marvel eventually gave up on the idea, "We thought it was pretty clever, but it was a bit too much." ”
Director James Gunn also confirmed this statement, and even added that the short film of Rocket Raccoon and Groot has even been filmed in part.
"I forgot about it, but it's true. Not only did we plan it, but we also shot a clip for one of the scripts (Rocket Raccoon and Groot). ”
"Part of it was a rocket firing a machine gun out on Groot's back, which we showed at San Diego Comic-Con."
"We originally had 4 short films: Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Camorra, Drax, star-lord. Only Rocket Raccoon and Groot's scripts were completed, but all of them were just storyboards. ”
"The script is about how they met, and in my mind I still think it's true. I even wrote a character for Alan Tudek! ”
However, this idea was eventually abandoned by Director Gunn because the workload was too large.
"We didn't end up making this short because I realized that it was ridiculous for me to be a writer and director for 4 short films while preparing a huge film that needed to build the whole world."
Director Gunn also confirmed that the first three short films were originally planned to be released before the release of "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2" and "Us Team 2".
"The first 3 shorts will air before the release of the three films before Silver Guardian 1 – which seems like a great way to help people understand these characters."
"Because a lot of people have told us that these unknown characters will be 'Marvel's first bomb.'"
The fourth short film is Quill's backstory, which is now the beginning of Silver Guardian 1. For me, it's hard to admit that this approach is a bit overdone. ”
"I was also sad and had to make up my mind not to shoot these short films (especially Rocket Raccoon and Groot). But you know, if only one day it would happen! ”
Although the story of Rocket Raccoon and Groot has not been made into a short film, "Silver Guardian 3" will tell the past experience of Rocket Raccoon, and "I Am Groot" will also let little tree people have a single-player series.
