Rocket Racoon had a lot of fun blasting goons while standing on the shoulders of Groot but roles were reversed in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 thanks to the introduction of Baby Groot! Well, it looks like he'll find a new ally in Avengers: Infinity War as Mark Ruffalo has revealed that we can expect to see The Hulk strike up a friendship with Rocket in the highly anticipated movie and its untitled sequel.
"It’s a very funny relationship that the two of them have: First of all, it’s the biggest superhero and the smallest," Ruffalo said in a recent interview with USA Today. "Just keeping them in a frame together is a feat and hilarious in itself." That's another meeting confirmed then and it will be interesting seeing what these two make of each other when they cross paths and fight side by side!
There's a very good chance this team-up will be a throwback to Incredible Hulk #271, the issue where Rocket actually made his debut! It was the Jade Giant's 20th anniversary issue and featured the hero landing on Halfworld, a planet populated by talking, sentient animals (chances are that won't be introduced in Avengers: Infinity War, though). What do you think of these comments from Ruffalo?
