Bradley Cooper, known for his role in the Hangover franchise, opened up about his emotional experience watching Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

In an interview with Ash Crossan of Entertainment Tonight at the film's premiere, Cooper revealed that he shed tears while watching the sci-fi movie. 

The actor was particularly moved by Rocket's story, which he said was beautifully portrayed on the big screen.

"It was emotional, is the right word," Cooper said. 

"I watched a cut of it a while ago, and I cried pretty hard. I mean, it's pretty hardcore. 

"Little Rocket - he went through a lot, dude. He went through a lot."

 Cooper, who voices the character of Rocket Racoon, recently bid farewell to the character for now.

 According to Cooper, there is more to Rocket Raccoon's story than he could tease. 

The actor, who played the character in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, expressed his willingness to continue the journey if director James Gunn decides to give him a call.

"I go wherever James tells me," He added that the journey may even lead to the world of DC Comics, as director James Gunn has a couple of projects in the pipeline.

He praised James Gunn's work on Peacemaker, calling it "incredible."

 He also expressed his admiration for Gunn and was glad to see him working on movies and television. 

The trailer for the film hints at Rocket's story being a focal point, showcasing his innocent origins and cruel experimentation.

Pratt, the lead actor in the upcoming movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, described the film as "another rock opera".

The highly anticipated film is set to release worldwide on May 5.
