A tiny set report from The Guardian mentions that Groot wasn't being played by Vin Diesel, but a stand-in, saying Groot's only line, "I am Groot." Which means that if Diesel is playing Groot, as he's hinted, then he's not doing it via motion-capture. The report says that the space environments look gorgeous and that director James Gunn and the script seem to be following in Joss Whedon's style of having witty, but real, characters.

And the Guardian brings up an interesting theory: Marvel made a big deal of Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon but is curiously reticent to announce Diesel as Groot. But we know already that Thanos is going to be in the movie ? so maybe Diesel's constant hints about playing Groot, and Marvel's refusal to confirm that role, are all an act to distract from Diesel's actual role, as Thanos.

I'm really hoping he's going to be Thanos because that role suits him better if you ask me. Also, very much looking forward to those space environments and Rocket Raccoon!

Haha, I've never seen anyone with a chin like Thanos's chin. Doesn't matter though, they can simply fix that with chin parts like they often do in films. I mean, look at Hellboy for starters.

Michael Rooker On GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY's 'Groot' And Fans' Growing Enthusiasm

 

After chatting with Jaimie Alexander, Forbes blogger Mark Hughes spoke with The Walking Dead actor Michael Rooker during Stan Lee?s Comikaze Expo this weekend. Speaking about the notion that Groot, voiced by Vin Diesal, is just a talking tree, Rooker objects: ?Groot is not a tree, he?s a different being from a different universe. And he?s not like a tree the way we have trees. We use it for cordwood, for cooking and heating our homes. Groot is a whole different being from a whole different galaxy, somewhere you don?t even know where he?s from. I don?t even know where he?s from. He just happens to look like bark.? About the fans' growing interest in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Michael Rooker said, ?It?s a great series, I love the old series and the new one?s pretty cool, too. So I think it?s helping people go back and look at the series if they haven?t seen it yet. Then they get all high about it, and it?s awesome.?

In Thor: The Dark World post credit scene

you can see Benicio Del Toro character The Collector receive the Dark Elves Aether from from Sif & Volstagg as they say it's dangerous to have two of the relics in the same place at Asgard (the Aether and the Tesseract). he then says he got one, 5 remaining if I recall correctly

 

so I guess that's the starting point of GotG

I have such high hopes for this film. And everything they've shown so far just looks proper good. Hopefully everything else is of the same level, if not higher.

 

Yeah I hope so too. I hope that it's going to be one of those movies I"ll watch over and over again.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
