While it’s unknown the exact role Lylla the Otter will be playing in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. However, if the Rocket death theories turn out to be true, Lylla still has a chance to join the future Guardians as an honor to her soulmate’s legacy. With this iteration of the Guardians confirmed to be coming to an end and it being actors like Gamora’s Zoe Saldana and Drax’s Dave Bautista’s final appearances, it’s possible that Rocket may get to step up within the Guardians and take his childhood friends with him. Lylla’s return to the MCU is likely dependent on Rocket’s fate in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Nonetheless, she may be tempted to team up with Rocket once again in the Guardians’ battle against the High Evolutionary, making her not just one of Rocket’s loved ones but an asset to the team. It’s unknown whether one of them left the partnership with bad blood or if it was an amicable split. In the first film, Lylla was shown to be one of Rocket’s associates before he became partners with Groot. Lylla will definitely have appearances in the form of flashbacks, but she may make appearances in the present day too. However, it’s clear that he truly cared for his childhood friends, and the reappearance of Lylla could trigger a moment of vulnerability in Rocket. It has caused him to be insecure and untrusting, which is why his joining the Guardians was such a big step. Since meeting him in the first film, it’s well-known that Rocket had a tragic past of being experimented on. 3 set to introduce a more in-depth look at Rocket’s past, Lylla should be playing quite an important role in the film.
