Fans will finally get to witness Rocket’s background on Counter-Earth, and with the inclusion of Lylla, the movie will undoubtedly be a treat for viewers.
Linda Cardellini as Lylla the Otther
Before diving into Cardellini’s role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, let’s briefly examine her acting career. Linda Cardellini is a well-known American actress born in Redwood City, California. She began her career in the early 1990s, playing minor roles in TV shows like Boy Meets World and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Her big break came in 1999 when she landed the role of Lindsay Weir in the popular TV show Freaks and Geeks.
Since then, Cardellini has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, including ER, Mad Men. In the MCU, Cardellini is best known for her role as Laura Barton, the wife of Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton (Hawkeye).
Cardellini’s involvement in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks the fourth time she and James Gunn have worked together. She previously appeared in the two Scooby-Doo movies that Gunn wrote and collaborated with him on the 2010 superhero movie Super.
The movie will provide insights into Rocket’s life before he met Star-Lord and the other Guardians. According to Gunn, Rocket’s past is a “really horrible” one that involves him being taken as an innocent creature and turned into something he wasn’t supposed to be. In the movie, we will see Rocket and Lylla reunited and learn more about their relationship.
A Look at the New Clip
The recently released clip from Collider provides a glimpse into Rocket and Lylla’s past on Counter-Earth.
