Director James Gunn is ending Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with a boom and that boom includes the dreadful demise of one of the most beloved characters from the franchise: Rocket the Raccoon. Just last week, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 revealed its synopsis which ultimately spells doom for Rocket’s life, and now that the new official trailer is out, MCU fans are not ready to let this go. You can check out the new movie trailer below:

That, and the new Marvel trailer revealing an unconscious Rocket being carried by Gamora.
