Rocket
A cybernetically altered raccoon, built out of surgery he did not consent to by a man who called him an experiment. Vol. 3 is his story; everything before it is him refusing to tell it.
All Appearances
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Power Stone and the wider cosmic MCU. Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, Drax — the team whose sacrifices in Infinity War are among the most devastating.
2h 1m
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Ego (a Celestial) is Peter's father and the villain. Yondu sacrifices himself to save Peter. Emotionally the strongest Guardians film — but the team has disbanded with no confirmed Doomsday payoff.
2h 16m
Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos collects all six Infinity Stones and snaps away half of all life. Doctor Strange gives the Time Stone intentionally — 'We're in the endgame now.' This is the pivot everything before leads to and everything after responds to.
2h 29m
Avengers: Endgame
Five years after the snap, the surviving Avengers execute a time heist to undo it. Tony snaps Thanos away and dies. Steve stays in the past with Peggy — passing the shield to Sam. The MCU's defining film.
3h 2mAvengers: Endgame Encore
A theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame, timed just ahead of Doomsday. Every screening includes an exclusive look at Avengers: Doomsday, and IMAX and Disney's new Infinity Vision format add an extra sneak peek on top of it. The Russo brothers have called the new material a bridge into Doomsday, though Marvel has not said exactly what it shows. The story itself is unchanged: if you've already seen Endgame, you already know it.
3h 5m
GOTG Holiday Special
Mantis is revealed as Peter's half-sister. The Guardians have bought Knowhere from the Collector as their new home. Fun — but zero Doomsday relevance.
0h 44m
I Am Groot (Season 1)
Baby Groot animated shorts. No Doomsday thread.
0h 25m
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Rocket's heartbreaking origin — experimented on by the High Evolutionary. The team's emotional farewell: Peter returns to Earth, Rocket leads new Guardians. No confirmed Doomsday payoff.
