We’re now just over a week from the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with Marvel releasing more tidbits from the film with each passing day. Tuesday, the studio unveiled one of the most heartbreaking clips it’s ever made, featuring a younger version of Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) speaking about his hopes and dream with his other animal buddies. As you might expect, the kids aren’t alright after watching the clip with so many people taking to Twitter to talk about how heartbroken they were, the character started trending on social media.
“The High Evolutionary has created them, and they know he’s building this new world out there, this new society, and they’re talking about how they’re gonna go out there,” Gunn told Collider of the High Evolutionary’s animal creations. “And as they do that, they begin to name themselves, they give themselves names. Before that, at the beginning of the script, they’re just Otter, Walrus, and Rabbit, and they give themselves their names.”

OMD in tearing up already. Don’t kill my Rocket please.
PROTECT ROCKET
OMG I can feel my heart melting when I watch this ?. If anything can make me cry in movies it’s animals and especially Rocket. I really need to make sure I have plenty of tissues next week ???
Rocket is my favourite guardian, this clip already has me in shambles https://t.co/tQOErNLJCA
i was never bothered about Guardians of the Galaxy, but just saw Rockets name backstory and i think would rather die than know what happened or will ever happen to Floor
The second Rocket started talking about his dream, I lost it.
I was like, “THAT’S WHAT HE DOES WITH THE GUARDIANS ?????”
I can’t get over Rocket’s demeanor in this clip. Like, he’s being put through hell yet he still has so much hope for the future. Comparing that to today’s more cynical adult version makes me so sad. The High Evolutionary really broke him. pic.twitter.com/7QM5gOVA8x
