It’s a common occurrence for co-stars to get closer to one another as shooting progresses, so since the Guardians of the Galaxy cast are on their third outing together, it’s no surprise they’re as close as can be. So close, in fact, that when one of them does anything of note, the others must react to it, be it good or bad. And that’s exactly what our Nebula, Karen Gillan, did.
But Gillan might be getting her wires crossed a little since this wasn’t exactly a co-star of hers. There’s a viral video going around that shows a raccoon getting a donut from a Dunkin’ drive-thru. Gillan took to Twitter to articulate what we were all thinking. Rocket, is that you?
Saving the entire galaxy and defending Knowhere isn’t an easy task, nor is it one to be performed on an empty stomach. We can’t blame Rocket for wanting to stop off for a quick bite to eat. Regardless, it’s Gillan’s reaction that truly encapsulates how hilarious this moment is. It’s even funnier once we learn that the entire Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy was basically a love letter to Rocket Raccoon fans.
It’s been all eyes on Bradley Cooper’s Rocket since Vol. 3 released as we uncover more of Rocket’s past and learn of his encounters with the High Evolutionary, a sinister being who performs barbaric experiments on children and animals in the hopes of creating the “perfect” species to inhabit his new world, Counter-Earth. We find out that Rocket went through a lot of trauma before meeting the Guardians, including losing three of his best friends aboard the HE’s ship.
As for Karen Gillan, there’s never a dull moment when she’s around. She really is the total opposite of her Marvel character.
