With James Gunn busy shepherding DC into its next phase, the chances of getting a new Guardians of the Galaxy movie are slim. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 brought the team’s story to a natural conclusion, but it also left the door open for individual characters to continue their journeys elsewhere. The Guardians themselves are still more or less intact, and with so many comic book stories left to explore, there’s no reason for Marvel to stop adapting their adventures.
One Guardian in particular is hoping that the franchise does just that. Vin Diesel — who’s voiced the benevolent Groot since 2014 — recently offered an update about a new Guardians spin-off. Through a lengthy post on Instagram, the actor claimed Disney is keen to produce a film based on “Planet X,” a comic book storyline “where Groot returns to his home planet.” Diesel joked that a Planet X film may be “Marvel’s most important movie,” and while that might not technically be true, it could be a fun return to that corner of the Marvel Universe.
