What If...? was Marvel Studios' first animated TV series, and, for the most part, it received a positive response from fans and critics alike. More are on the way, including Marvel Zombies, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and I Am Groot. The latter will follow Baby Groot on a series of adventures, though the expectation is that it will feature photorealistic animation more akin to regular VFX than a cartoon.
It's also believed that I Am Groot will be a series of shorts (similar to something like Olaf Presents or Forky Asks a Question) rather than a full-blown TV show, but we're definitely intrigued to see more. We're anticipating a 2022 premiere, hence why promo art like this has started showing up.
As you can see, it appears Baby Groot will be shaking up his appearance with "hair," though we're guessing this will probably be for just the one episode rather than the entire series. Either way, he now looks cuter than ever, and changing up the Guardians' look is a clever way to sell more toys!
A July premiere is the current rumour for I Am Groot, placing it right between Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk. It goes without saying that Baby Groot stole the show in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and with him being aged up to a teenager in the recent Avengers movies, it will be fun to revisit his childhood.
