The newest (and possibly last) “Guardians” film features a supervillain who might as well be a metaphor for Marvel itself. Its quest for perfection could end just as badly.
offers one of the most remarkable MCU villains to date—a low bar, considering how two-dimensional most Marvel baddies are. But, played by Chukwudi Iwuji, carries a compelling, intimidating, Shakespearean heft to him. Seen largely through flashbacks at first, the Evolutionary is on an experimental quest to create the “perfect” new species, to be part of a supposedly harmonious new world.
Years later, the Guardians must find the High Evolutionary in order to save Rocket, who will die if the crew can’t figure out how to work around the kill switch that was implanted within his heart. To do so, they wind up in the Evolutionary’s perfect world. It seems like a suburban haven, with creatures of all different species living alongside each other in seeming harmony; the candy-coated aesthetic of his life’s work made manifest looks like an indisputable dream.
While Rocket’s popularity has been on the rise, that’s largely because of Gunn’s trilogy, where Rocket has remained yet another beloved member of the team—until now.has been billed as a goodbye to this lovable group of misfits long before its May 5 premiere, but I don’t think anyone could have predicted that the foul-mouthed raccoon would take center stage in such an unlikely, dramatic fashion.
