Little Dixie – Doc (Frank Grillo) facilitates a fragile truce between the governor and the cartel, trading prosecutorial leniency for finance. However, with no more truce, Doc is left to fend for himself and protect the one untainted thing in his life: his daughter, Little Dixie. Debuts July 31 on Paramount+.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – When they’re attacked by Adam Warlock, Rocket is severely injured. Rocket’s past is shown in flashbacks, when he was experimented on by The High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), who wants to make superior animals. With his best friend’s life on the line, Peter (Chris Pratt) rallies his team on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life. Available August 1 on DVD and Blu-ray and streaming August 2 on Disney+.

Sean Gunn, who plays Kraglin on screen and provides motion capture for Rocket in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, describes what else he did in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He talks about how his journey in the franchise is similar to Kraglin’s journey, and reveals at what point his brother, director James Gunn, involves him in the process of creating a new movie.

Chukwudi Iwuji reveals how he felt about joining Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as The High Evolutionary. He describes how his skin mask, which looks painful, is applied and how it was made, and whether or not he feels the need to find the good in a character who’s a villain.
