<Li> Groot appears in the 2014 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Guardians of the Galaxy , voiced by Vin Diesel ( who performed the voice work for a number of languages the movie was released in and also provided some motion capture elements for the character ) . Although initially simply described as Rocket 's hired muscle , he shows a softer side throughout the film , growing a flower to give to a little girl and saving Drax the Destroyer 's life even after Drax 's actions brought Ronan the Accuser 's forces to them . He agrees with Peter Quill 's plan to stand up to Ronan , and later seemingly sacrifices himself to save the rest of the team by enveloping them in a wooden ball grown from himself as Ronan 's ship crashes . At the film 's conclusion , Rocket has recovered a twig from Groot , which is shown to be regrowing into a miniature Groot . When sacrificing himself , he actually speaks another phrase , `` We are Groot '' , which implies a bond formed among the heroes . </Li>
