Who plays Cosmo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?ย
Cosmo is portrayed in Vol. 3 by Oscar-nominated actress Maria Bakalova, who also portrayed the beloved character in last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
“I absolutely did,” Bakalova replied when asked by ComicBook.com if she donned the mo-cap suit to play Cosmo. “And I couldn’t waste a second to be like, ‘Oh no, I’m just going to go home and I’m going to rest, or I’m going to read a book.’ If you have a chance to be around all of these incredibly talented people, of course, you’re going to spend the full time, or that’s my point of view.” She added, “And I was putting on the mo-cap suit, and I felt like a superhero for real, because I got to play there and I got to be around all of them, to be watching James [Gunn] every single step and just completely losing my mind and melting my heart, how great he is. And yeah, I did a lot and I met Slate [the on-set reference for Cosmo] and we, I think, bonded together. It was pretty cool. He’s the sweetest one and it’s a reminder of what a great creature Cosmo is and just dogs in general.”

But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life-a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
