"It's been great. The great thing about [Gunn] is that I tried to set the ground rules early. I said, 'Look, you don't have to sugar-coat anything. Just tell me exactly what you want,'" Bradley Cooper told MTV News during the press junket for American Hustle. "I think he was basically going like, 'Did you think I would do anything else?' But he's been great! I love Rocket!" While Rocket Raccoon has been described as the heart of Guardians of the Galaxy, Cooper thinks it's Chris Pratt's role as Peter Quill/Star-Lord. "He's Han Solo and Luke combined," he said. "I think Rocket is dynamic. He's the sort of Joe Pesci in 'Goodfellas' guy. You need Henry Hill."
