And in Groot’s case, his relationship with his friends isn’t the only thing that’s different this time around.
After the fully-grown tree alien sacrificed himself at the end of the first film, Groot returns in the sequel as the lovable Baby Groot, who has already become a favorite amongst viewers.
His cute appearance endears the little Groot to audiences, and he will surely be a merchandising giant when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 gets closer to its premiere.
He’s a unique little fella, and he’s pretty great in the movie even though he’s not even there.
