He describes the relationship between Rocket and Groot as endearing and calls them one of the best combos in film. He also reveals that he thinks Bradley Cooper does a great job voicing the character of Rocket and says there’s a strong family theme in the movie, with all of the Guardians taking care of Baby Groot.
