Baby Groot has arguably become one of the most recognizable and best marketing aspect of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Vin Diesel recently spoke with Total Film about voicing Groot and how, although he only ever says three words, that’s what’s challenging about it.

“It’s very, very challenging because you’re limited to three words. There’s a secret script that I get where it has all of Groot’s lines, but the catch of it all is the only was I can say it is: ‘I am Groot.’”

But Diesel’s voice is pretty Deep and now that Groot is a baby version of his previous self, his voice has changed and is much higher. So how did Vin Diesel go about this change in saying his lines.

“I change it super, super, super, super high. I have a feeling they’ll do a combination of things [to alter the sound electronically]. I mean, I do it super high-pitched. [Adopts glass-shattering Baby Groot squeal] ‘I am Groot!’”

One of the most anticipated superhero films of the year, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will certainly be a fun ride.

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 will be in theaters May 5, 3017.
