James Gunn Has Hilarious Response To Hawkeye S Guardians Of The Galaxy Easter Egg

The first three episodes of Hawkeye are currently available to stream on Disney+ and there are plenty of nods to Marvel ranging from the obvious (like the fun details in Rogers: The Musical) to the hidden gems (like the comics deep cut that teased the West Coast Avengers). There was another little nod to the greater MCU that one eagle-eyed fan spotted. While investigating the New York City Larpers that ended up with the Ronin costume, the group’s Instagram page is seen, and one of their follows is @iamgr00t. This led to a fan asking Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn an important question about Groot.  

That’s probably the IG account of the MCU version of Rob de Groot, @DaveBautista’s stunt double. Unlike the real Rob, the MCU version is a total dick, has a posh British accent & a full, luscious head of hair. (Also, it’s a cool Easter egg.) https://t.co/4OEjSuCF3p pic.twitter.com/xu7eDcTLf7
