Here’s How Rocket Made Bradley Cooper A Marvel Icon
When the first installment ofGuardians of the Galaxypremiered in 2014, actor Mindy Kaling was shocked at the casting choices which included one of Hollywood’s heartthrobs Bradley Cooper playing the voice of Rocket Raccoon. Kaling expressed her disbelief about casting a magnetic and bankable actor like Cooper as the CGI-powered voice of a rodent. But she was proved completely wrong in her assumption.
Bringing an inspired physicality, grating humor, and deep emotion to the gun-obsessed raccoon, Bradley Cooper became one with the character. The creative decision to use Cooper as Rocket’s voice instead of giving him a physical role in the film proved to be a casting coup with Rocket becoming one of MCU’s most loved characters. While Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill was the face of the franchise, Rocket was the beating heart and soul of the films mainly due to Bradley Cooper’s brilliant portrayal of the intergalactic raccoon which in turn made the Oscar nominee one of MCU’s biggest icons.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3is in theatres worldwide.
