Meanwhile, the film’s other major voice over actor, Bradley Cooper, has been opening up about his role. Cooper recently spoke to Collider about working with James Gunn:
“I like James [Gunn] a lot and it really was about him and then talking to him about the guy. I wasn’t familiar with the comic at all and then I really loved it, and I love that character. He’s incredible that character.You know, one thing we debated was he’s seen as a cockney accent sometimes. So we talking about whether we’d do that or do this sort of other guy from the city a little bit.”
Parks and Rec star Chris Pratt spoke with Screen Crush about his love for Cooper’s character:
"You think it’s a cartoon character, but it’s not, it’s a very real creature. [Rocket Raccoon has been] tortured his whole life and no one else likes him, so he’s lonely and he’s angry and it’s like, [there are] all these elements [to the character]. You sort of forget about that, you wouldn’t think about, [and] hopefully will come to life. I think it will and that’s why they hired a really good actor to do the role. I could not be more excited that Bradley Cooper is voicing Rocket Raccoon. It’s a great character. It’s probably the best character in the movie, just because it’s not what you would expect."
