Marvel Studios teased the upcoming series in a tweet, showing off an official poster with Baby Groot chilling out atop one of the headphones attached to Peter Quill’s (played by Chris Pratt) iconic Walkman. He rests beside a palm tree-shaped air freshener — that shows just how tiny he really is — with two, four-eyed penguin-like creatures (that are somehow even smaller than Baby Groot) peeking out from behind. We haven't seen these two mischievous-looking creatures in any of The Guardians of the Galaxy films, but it looks like they’ll play some sort of role in the new series.
Vin Diesel, who is the voice of Groot in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, voices Baby Groot. The writer/director is Kirsten Lepore, and the executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum and James Gunn.
I Am Groot is set to debut just before She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which arrives on Disney Plus on August 17th. It’s the first original Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff so far, but isn’t Disney’s last — the live-action Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will stream exclusively on Disney Plus in December.
