Rocket Raccoon of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' May Join 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Captain America: Civil War writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are Marvel Cinematic Universe pros. They started with Thor: The Dark World in 2013, did Captain America: The Winter Soldier before this latest box office–crusher, and they've got the two-part Avengers: Infinity War on their plate next.

Their approach, Markus told The Verge in a new interview, is always about the humanity of these superpowered characters:

"Whether they’re a 12-foot purple guy, or a raccoon, or an android, they’re all people, and we’re going to write them as people. You can’t write them any other way. So, ideally [the upcoming fight with supervillain Thanos] will stay grounded because you’ll completely understand why the characters are doing what they’re doing, and you will in some way or another empathize."
