“It’s not just a story of heroes and villains, and not every movie and series will be about the eternal struggle of good guys versus bad guys. There are very suspicious people like “Authority” that you can’t fix the world without getting your hands dirty.

James Gunn also dismissed any lingering doubts some viewers might have about seeing the character officially join the stable. gives an example of his arrival Guardians of the Galaxy In the MCU and especially the integration of Rocket Racoon along with Thor.

“The quality of this tie-in will be on par with Infinity War and Avengers Endgame. It’s more than just a horror movie, but we’ll still have the creature interact with the other characters.”
