New Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 clip reveals heartbreaking look at Rocket's origins

If you’ve been following the rag-tag group of heroes known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, you know that they’ve all been witness to trauma before coming together to form their family unit. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the end of the line (for now, at least) of the galaxy’s most unlikely group of heroes, and it’s very likely that tears will be shed because goodbyes are always hard. Fans are already struggling with their emotions as a new clip from the movie reveals how Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) got his name.

Ten years ago, if you weren’t a fan of Marvel Comics you probably wouldn’t think you’d ever be emotionally attached to a genetically modified raccoon and a giant tree creature, but 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy introduced Rocket and Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) and suddenly James Gunn’s comic book movie about an obscure team in the Marvel universe was front and center.
