Terry Notary has confirmed that he is playing teen Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. Notary also appeared in this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or winning film The Square. His credits also include Kong: Skull Island, the recent Planet Of The Apes movies and Warcraft.
Speaking to Yahoo!, the actor said:
“Yes, I am playing teenage Groot. I’m having a blast with it. It’s really, really fun. I can’t say too much about him, but he’s coming of age, so you’ll see the teenager find a mentor to look up to and to model himself after. The character’s great, and the films are going to be great. We’ve got such an amazing cast and a great pair of directors at the helm. The Russos allow the actors to jam on scenes together to the point where it just feels great and everybody gets their moments.”
The actor was pictured on the set of the upcoming Avengers movies, the next two of which are being shot back-to-back, along with fellow cast members Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd, and Sean Gunn. The first of the movies will arrive on April 27th, 2018.
