MARVEL: Guardians of the Galaxy – Hag & Con at the European Premiere!!!

You all play incredible roles – but in your opinion who do you think stole the show most in the movie? Hag age 9

Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord)

Chris Pratt – I think for me when the movie really takes off is when we zoom in on Xander and we meet Rocket and Groot together and we see Groot drinking out of the fountain and Rocket looking through his grid screen for potential bounties. That for me is….that there this synergy….you take all the parts that Peter Quill. You’ve met Gamora….I don’t think at that point you’ve met Drax yet. Bit you see like somehow the sum is greater than the whole and it’s when Rocket is talking that you see he’s like a little kid – and you’re like ‘who’s this little guy?’…..it’s not cool to need help. It becomes really fun and you see that this world….that’s this journeys gonna be really good. So I’d say Rocket Raccoon. At that moment Rocket steels the show for me.

Vin Diesel (Groot)

Zoe Saldana – For me I would have to say Groot. He stole the show when we started working – I just had a soft spot for that big tree.

He unconditionally loved us all and even though I’m mature and pretty sane…. I’m an actor….mwaa…mwaa…when you go it’s make belive I know it’s a fictional character. He moved me in such a way… That I was like…screw that – I want to believe that he’s real. Because what’s he’s making me feel is pretty real.

So it Groot.

Dave Bautista (Drax)

James Gunn (Director)

James Gunn – I have my favourite Kid, it’s Rocket!

For me in someways Groot….I just go by the tweets I get. Frankly I get more tweets about Groot and Bautista than anybody else. I also…..I’d like to say it’s Bautista that steels the show because it embarrasses him.

Dave Bautista – (Laughs)

James Gunn – he’s the one I like to compliment as much as possible as he hates it. But really I think everybody steels it. Chris obviously has emerged as a giant movie star from this movie which is incredible. And Zoe is kind of Clint Eastwood.

Zoe – I’m already a movie star.

James Gunn – (Laughs) Yeah…. You’re already a movie star.

And Karen is just so visually arresting – I think of her as this….she has gigantic beauty a charisma that is just so present.

And Rockets….maybe the funniest. Groot is the soul of the movie. And then Bautista comes in and he’s the most unique character in the whole movie and he’s so funny and there’s nobody else in the world that can play that role.

And one of the comments I got the most on twitter and Facebook from people who’d seen the movie – is that everybody kind of steels the movie in turn. And it really is an ensemble piece. And I think that’s what makes it so good. It’s not that one character that everyone says it’s that one guy. It’s the dynamism between the characters together that works more so than any individual character.
