Disney seems to have no shortage of cute baby characters, many of whom are aliens, who make them attractive protagonists in their various adventures. We not only have baby Groot from Marvel, but also Grogu from the world of Star Wars, one of the main characters in the acclaimed series. the mandalorian. Grogu is colloquially known as Baby Yoda, among fans, as he is the same species as the Jedi Master and is also Force-sensitive.

Could Groot and Grogu ever cross paths? We’d love to see it. But even though both characters are owned by Disney, they’re firmly planted in separate universes, so it seems pretty iffy. However, with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy set to star in their own Christmas special on Disney Plus, in a clear homage to the Star Wars Holiday Special – maybe such a meeting of all things nice and green could happen, after all.

Although Groot voiced by Vin Diesel made his live-action debut in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, in 2014, each subsequent appearance of him was technically a different character. The OG Groot sacrificed his life at the end of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. The baby Groot that appears thereafter is technically the progeny of the original, according to co-writer and director James Gunn.
