Is Groot about to branch out on his own? Vin Diesel, the voice behind the lovable, monosyllabic tree-being, has hinted at the possibility of a solo Groot movie. Could we be heading to Planet X?
Diesel, who has voiced Groot since 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, took to Instagram to share his enthusiasm. "Disney wants their Planet X! Which some say is Marvel’s most anticipated movie, haha," he wrote. "The film where Groot returns to his home planet."
Planet X, for those unfamiliar with the comics, is the homeworld of Groot's species, the Flora Colossi. Imagine the Ents from The Lord of the Rings, but with advanced technology and a penchant for three-word sentences.
The Depth of "I Am Groot"
The article highlights the potential complexity behind Groot's seemingly simple vocabulary. According to the comics, the Flora Colossi's language is far more nuanced than it appears to outsiders. An educated listener might perceive intricate discussions on quantum physics or ancient wisdom within those three iconic words.
Whether a Groot solo movie will actually materialize remains to be seen, but Diesel's excitement has certainly planted a seed of anticipation among Marvel fans.
Carnival and Controversy in Brazil
Meanwhile, in Brazil, Carnival celebrations have been in full swing, drawing massive crowds in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Satellite images, captured by Planet's SkySat constellation from an altitude of 450 to 500 km, show the impressive scale of the festivities.
However, the Carnival hasn't been without its drama. The Unidos de Padre Miguel samba school, demoted in the Grupo Especial of the 2025 Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, is appealing the decision, citing a technical error. The school is hoping LIESA (Independent League of Samba Schools) will review the results.
Adding to the entertainment news, television presenter Patrícia Poeta is facing criticism on social media for her handling of the Vitória Regina case, a tragic murder in Cajamar, São Paulo. Her live comments to the victim's father have sparked controversy.
From the Marvel universe to the vibrant streets of Brazil, the world of entertainment is certainly buzzing with activity.
