Of all the memorable characters presented in Guardians though, one has always clearly stood out as the fan-favorite: Groot, the aforementioned tree person.
Whichever direction Diesel and Gunn might end up going though, MCU fans would likely happily rush out to theaters to see it.
While that proposition seems kind of silly looking back, the idea that Guardians might flop wasn’t entirely unfounded.
Needless to say, Guardians went on to earn truckloads of money, and only served to further cement Marvel Studios’ position atop the Hollywood heap.
