Guardians Vol. 2: James Gunn And Michael Rooker Show Off Their "Groot Dancing"

Conventions and press conferences are a time to get more personal with the talent you see on screen. This was certainly the case at a recent conference in Moscow, where James Gunn and Michael Rooker showed off a new side of themselves taken after their adorable friend Groot.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director and Yondu actor were asked to do their best dancing Groot impression (based on the ending scene from the original film). Gunn gave his take first, and it was delightfully accurate, including the full stop when Drax turns around. Michael Rooker's was hilariously inaccurate but made up for it with just how entertaining it all was. If Groot needs motion capture dance moves for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it seems they've got a prime candidate for the job.

You can watch both dance moves in the video above, and hopefully, at some point, the rest of the cast will jump in on the festivities.

Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
