Yes, you read that right, it is Marvel Studios’ first version of a festive-themed story. James Gunn is set to return and will direct it while working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

That is not all, as Groot is also getting his very own series. Baby Groot is getting his own set of short stories that will introduce us to the wacky creations of the Marvel Universe. It is uncertain if this will be an animated or live-action series, but is planned to air on Disney+ at some point in the future.
Everyone’s favorite little tree, Baby Groot, will star in a series of shorts on Disney+ featuring several new and unusual characters.
