ROCKET RACCOON AND GROOT Rumored To Be Heading To Disney+ For A GOTG Spin-Off Show

Several Marvel limited series have already been confirmed for Disney's new streaming service, and now we have word on another that could well be joining them: GOTG characters Rocket Raccoon and Groot...

Could Guardians of the Galaxy faves Rocket and Groot join the likes of Loki, Scarlet Witch, Falcon and Bucky on Disney's upcoming streaming service?

While they stress that this should only be treated as a rumor for now, That Hashtag Show has heard that there are plans in place for a Disney+ limited series featuring the smart-ass Raccoon and his sentient tree pal.

Though the VFX that would be needed to bring these characters to life means the show would undoubtedly be more costly to produce than the previously confirmed ones, we already know that the budgets for these Marvel spin-offs are expected to rival that of some blockbuster movies, so they're clearly sparing no expense.

We'll obviously have to see if this pans out, but there's certainly a lot of potential here. Groot and Rocket were a team before the events of the first GOTG movie so the series could chart their early adventures without having to worry about Marvel Studios' plans for Avengers 4 or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

What do you guys think about the possibilty of a Rocket and Groot Disney+ series? Drop us a comment down below.

It’s becoming so tempting to get a Disney+ membership

I think with everything behind the mcu and how popular it is right now as well as how much money they've made from these movies I think they can finance these shows no problems and I'm sure people will get the service.

I just wonder how much do they need for this to be a success? I always hear Netflix is in trouble or owe a lot and it's the most popular streaming services, though who knows what's true

@MyCoolYoung - Netflix doesn't own every movie that's on their service, Disney will, maybe that's part of Netflix's problem?

Adult Groot > Baby Groot > Teenage Groot

Teenage Groot was so boring

@IcemanX - I agree. Probably did not get to see enough because of the fullness of the movie his was in.

All these shows are sounding great! Also saw Fantastoc beasts 2 earlier and really enjoyed it. Towards the lower pack of the HP movies but still very engaging and beautiful to look at

I don't buy it, unless it's more traditional animated type thing.

@Spock0Clock - Either I’m skipping some articles, or you’ve been hiding in a couch cushion fort lately. Welcome back. Or, not.

@ElJefe - I've been around, but not with as much to say maybe. But how do you know about Fort Awesome?

@Spock0Clock - Thing is, if they did go that way, PLEASE at least get completely new writers than any of the people who worked on the Guardians cartoon series. Because I've seen some clips of that thing on youtube, and it's just awful. The comedy is just cringeworthy in some spots (I guess maybe it's ESPECIALLY geared toward younger kids)
