Avengers: Endgame
Rocket almost carried pieces of Groot with him throughoutAvengers : Endgamein the class of a watchstrap . As unlikely as it seemed several years ago , the talking raccoon and anthropomorphous tree from theGuardians of the Galaxyfranchise have becometwo of the most beloved charactersin the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Initially , Groot was the muscle for Rocket as they move on adventures , but that dynamic changed afterGroot sacrifice himself .
More recently , Rocket has serve as a father figureto the new Groot that develop from a baby inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2to an teen forAvengers : Infinity War . By the goal of the movie though , Rocket could do nothing as he watch Groot change by reversal to dust .

Now , the release ofThe Art of Avengers : Endgamereveals one way that Rocket was go bad to remember Groot throughout the movie . As discover by artist Jackson Sze , he experimented with giving Rocket a bracelet made out of leftover Groot twigs . The watchstrap can be seen in the conception graphics below . But , since Groot was snatch up at the conclusion ofAvengers : Infinity War , how would this operate ? Sze had his own ideas :
I did a really subtle thing where on Rocket ’s arm I did a tiny Groot watchband just for Rocket to remember him by - not that he ’s ever going to forget . I know that Groot plough into ash after Infinity War , but I imagined that he might have go forth some twig around . It was just something that Rocket wears . It was a little ghost that did n’t get very far .
Although this idea was incorporated intoAvengers : Endgame , it is an challenging concept to play with . Since Rocket was largely couple with Thor during the movie , the bracelet could ’ve been Rocket ’s way to visualize the loss that everyone - and not just the god of smack - experient . This Groot bracelet could even have been achieved with Thor ’s assist . Groot impart some of himself to be the grip for Stormbreaker ( which did n’t disappear along with Groot ) , so Rocket would ’ve been able-bodied to snap off a few twigs from it to make this bracelet .
Rocket did n’t have to go to these lengths to remember Groot though and has now been reunite with his acquaintance at the end ofAvengers : Endgame . The two will be featured inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3and how their stories keep is something that many buff are eager to see . Writer - director James Gunn has already cod thatRocket will dally a big part in the filmbut has not touch on Groot . Since they are traditionally paired together , there ’s a fair luck that Groot will be given plenty to do - in whatever manikin he is in during the moving-picture show .
