“It’s not Bugs Bunny in the middle of The
Avengers!”
In an interview with Hey U Guys, during the UK premier
of Iron Man 3, director James Gunn (Super & Slither) talked about how
seriously he’s been working on bringing Rocket Raccoon to the big screen.
“I’ve done a lot of studying with real racoons, and we
had real racoons come in,” says Gunn. “We’ve done photography with them, I’ve
played with racoons, and fed racoons, and dealt a lot with real racoons to get
some of the behaviour down, because it’s really, really important to me that
Rocket Raccoon – who is the heart of the movie – is not a cartoon character. It’s
not Bugs Bunny in the middle of The Avengers. It’s a real, little,
somewhat mangled beast that’s alone. There’s no one else in the universe quite
like him, he’s been created by these guys to be a mean-ass fighting machine.”
During the interview Gunn also said that shouldn’t
expect the final Rocket Raccoon to look like the first concept art shown:
“It had some stuff from Guardians. Some of
the art by Charlie Wen and the guys. The Rocket Raccoon that was by itself was
an early version of my Rocket that I dealt with Charlie when developing. He
doesn’t look so much like that anymore, but there’s a lot of similarities in
that he’s more of a grounded, real little creature as opposed to a cartoonish
thing.”
