That Vin Diesel plays Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a well-known fact, but there are other actors that have played the member of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the MCU, with each one helping to bring a version, or more, of the lovable Marvel character to life. First debuting in the MCU with James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Groot then exploded in popularity in order to become one of the most loved Marvel characters on the planet, despite never having been a huge name in the comics. Gunn's found family franchise proved itself endearing, with Groot playing a pivotal role in its success.
With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 set to be the final movie for this version of the team, it is exciting to see what kind of MCU future Groot could have. The character has appeared in many different ways throughout the years, going from adult to baby to teen and more. Given how popular Groot has become and how easy it is to bring the character to life in comparison to other superhero roles that demand a stressful training routine, it is likely that Diesel will stick around for a little longer. If not, Marvel has already shown that the character is not only made up of one actor.
