Marvel has just released the second film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Phase Five. It is also the 32nd film in the MCU and the last film in the Guardians trilogy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 follows the Guardians on a mission to save Rocket’s life and protect him from his maker, the High Evolutionary.
Some cast members announced that the third Guardians film would be their last. The film’s official synopsis states that Rocket’s life is in danger. But we are concerned about someone else’s death too.
Is Lylla dead in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3?
Yes, Lylla dies in Volume 3. In the movie’s saddest deaths, Lylla the otter, Teefs the walrus, and Floor the bunny are killed while Rocket tries to escape from the High Evolutionary.
In a flashback scene, we meet Rocket’s friends and fellow test experiments Lylla the Otter, Teefs the Walrus, and Floor the Rabbit. The group talks about having new names when they move to the new world.
Lylla explains that “89Q12” isn’t a name and shares that she would like to be called “Lylla.” Teefs the Walrus says he wants to be called “Teefs” because “although we all do have them, mine are the most prominent.” The Rabbit wants to be called “Floor” because she’s lying on the floor.
They ask their friend Rocket what he wants his name to be. Rocket responds that someday he will make machines fly and that he and his friends will go flying together “into the forever and beautiful sky.” Thus, he wants to be called “Rocket.”
However, the High Evolutionary informs Rocket that he and his animal friends (Lylla, Teefs, and Floor) would not go to the new world because they are only test experiments and imperfect creations.
Because of this, Rocket tries to escape with his animal friends, but the High Evolutionary catches up to them. He shoots the otter Lylla. Seeing his friend die, Rocket attacks the High Evolutionary and claws up his face.
When the guards arrive, they kill Teefs and Floor, and Rocket manages to escape.
Does Rocket Raccoon die in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3?
While many fan theories suggest that Rocket may die, Rocket Raccoon survives. When Adam Warlock attacks Knowhere, Rocket is severely injured.
The Guardians put him in the Med Bay, but they can’t do much because a kill switch is attached to Rocket. Thus, they journey to Orgosphere to obtain Rocket’s file and the override code.
But Rocket’s condition worsens, and Peter and Gamora try to heal him. Their efforts seemingly fail because Rocket flatlines. Gamora tells Peter that Rocket’s gone, but Peter refuses to believe his best friend is dead.
Meanwhile, Rocket sees his friend Lylla in another dimension (or what appears to be the afterlife). He asks Lylla if he can join them, and Lylla says that he can, but his time has yet to come. Peter then successfully implements the override code, and Rocket returns to life. Whew!
