Marvel Studios just revealed the official trailer for their newest MCU project. After several movies and TV shows, this time we’ll get a collection of five Original shorts with Vin Diesel’s Baby Groot playing the titular role. Announced in December 2020, I Am Groot will serve as a short relief before we return to the following major Marvel properties such as the She-Hulk series and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Check the official trailer down below:

Vin Diesel debuted as the voice of Groot in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Although the adult Groot was killed off at the end of that movie, the appearance of Baby Groot was teased in one of the post-credit scenes. Diesel reprised the role in 2017’s sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and also in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and most recently in Thor: Love and Thunder. Diesel will also return as Groot in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special next December and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 next May.

At San Diego Comic-Con, I Am Groot writer/director/executive producer Kirsten Lepore answered questions about the upcoming series and treated the audience to the trailer and new key art. A surprise screening of one of the shorts, “Groot Takes a Bath,” delighted everyone, and applause greeted the announcement of the second collection of shorts.

There’s no guarding the galaxy against this mischievous toddler! So get ready as Baby Groot takes center stage in his very own collection of shorts, exploring his glory days growing up—and getting into trouble—among the stars. “I Am Groot,” five original shorts featuring several new and unusual characters, stars everyone’s favorite little tree, Baby Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel, who voices Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, and James Gunn. I Am Groot launches exclusively on Disney+ on August 10, with all five shorts available for viewing.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
