We almost didn't get Baby Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. "I originally intended for Baby Groot to get bigger and be an adult Groot, but it just didn't work," director James Gunn told Total Film. "So having Baby Groot stay Baby Groot -- who's also an incredibly popular character from his three seconds on screen at the end of the first movies -- it allowed me to create a character who had his own private world within the Guardians' worlds."

Having Groot be a baby made the group's dynamic much more interesting. "It allowed for a more interesting relationship withing the group," Gunn shared with TF. "Drax is just perturbed by him. Quill ignores him. Gamora's actually pretty motherly towards him. She's the only one that's motherly towards him. Rocket is protective but constantly irritated and is a terrible father."
Baby Groot With Cassette Tape
Recognizing early on that he would steal every scene, the cast tried to persuade the director/screenwriter to get them more screen-time with Baby Groot. "Baby Groot is like having your vitamins every days," Michael Rooker explained to TF. "He is by far the scene-stealer of the movie. Every on Guardians was trying to convince James Gunn, 'Hey! Hey! Dude! Put me in a with Baby Groot.'"
