The Marvel Cinematic Universe got some pretty significant updates on Thursday, when a huge number of upcoming movies and TV shows were announced as part of Disney’s Investor Day presentation. Among these were some major updates regarding the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, including the fact that the third film in the franchise will be released in 2023. Marvel also announced a Guardians of the Galaxy-themed Christmas special, which will be filmed concurrently with Vol. 3. And if that wasn’t enough, Marvel also announced an adorable new extension of the franchise — a series of animated shorts titled I Am Groot, which will follow the misadventures of Baby Groot.

This announcement will surely delight Guardians fans, especially those who were distraught by Baby Groot growing up between the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. And while there’s no telling exactly how long these short films will be – or what kind of adventures he could be getting into or characters to cross over with – there’s definitely still a lot of possibilities.
