The theatrical release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is only a little over a week away, and after that tearjerker of a teaser clip, MCU fans are more than ready for May 5 to roll around. The clip showed us a rare glimpse into Rocket’s tragic past, where the beloved raccoon was locked in a cage while chatting with three other animal friends about a more hopeful future. Rocket and his friends decide to name themselves after the otter of the group chooses to give herself the name Lylla and, for those with a good ear (and knowledge of other MCU projects), Lylla’s voice may have sounded familiar.
While we only know pieces of Rocket’s backstory, MCU fans know it’s not a happy one and despite the hopeful words of Rocket and his friends, this clip only reinforces that. We hope we’ll get to see Rocket’s other animal companions in the present and see if any have realized their dreams, but we do know Lylla will be making an appearance based on an earlier trailer. The otter only appears about 10 times in the comics, but Lylla is a close friend (and sometimes love interest) of Rocket’s. In her original appearance, she was the heir of toy conglomerate Mayhem Mekaniks and fell in love with Rocket when he helped her squash a hostile takeover of her company. Given the film shows them in the same caged facility as part of Rocket’s backstory, it seems Lylla’s going to have slightly different origins.
