We've seen adult Groot and Baby Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but when everyone's favorite talking tree makes an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War, he'll be a teenager. Mo-cap expert Teddy Notary will be playing Teen Groot in the third Avengers film, and he says that the movie will be Groot's "coming of age."
In an interview with Yahoo! Movies, Notary comments:
"Yes, I am playing teenage Groot. I'm having a blast with it. It's really, really fun. I can't say too much about him, but he's coming of age, so you'll see the teenager find a mentor to look up to and to model himself after. The character's great, and the films are going to be great. We've got such an amazing cast and a great pair of directors at the helm. The Russos allow the actors to jam on scenes together to the point where it just feels great and everybody gets their moments."
Seeing that the Groot in the first GotG was said to be a couple of hundred years-old, it would be interesting to see which one of the Avengers will Teen Groot choose to be his mentor. Some part of me is thinking he'll look up to his team leader Star-Lord, but I think it would be funny for him to try and be Iron Man or Doctor Strange.
As it stands, Marvel Studios is more busy pumping out marketing for Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther, but hopefully we get an official trailer for Infinity War before the year ends. Best guess is we'll get it alongside the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Avengers: Infinity War comes out May 4, 2018.
