This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary

James Gunn explained that the "It's Rocket, Rocket Raccoon" line represents Rocket's self-acceptance and balance of dreams and identity.
Gunn emphasizes Rocket's journey in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as the key focus of the movie, and the overall Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
The trilogy acts as the origin story for Rocket Raccoon, despite being a movie series about a whole team of characters.

James Gunn recently spoke about one of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's lines before explaining its hidden depth. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the perfect conclusion to the Guardians' story, offering some of the MCU's most emotional moments. Though every Guardian got a good amount of attention, the movie heavily focused on Rocket's journey, and made it clear the story had been about him all along. Gunn's recent comments add even more depth to Rocket's arc in the trilogy.
James Gunn recently offered an explanation for the "It's Rocket, Rocket Raccoon" line on Threads. This was in response to the line being featured on Wheel of Fortune. Gunn initially spoke about discussing the trilogy's arc with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, before taking a moment to explain its hidden meaning:

I said to Kevin Feige before Vol 3 came out - Can you believe we’ve spent all this time, effort, blood & tears & hundreds of millions of dollars creating an epic trilogy that is essentially the origin of how a character came to be known as “Rocket Raccoon”? [...] But, within that: “Rocket” is the part of our selves we create - our dreams and work and actions. “Raccoon” is what we are and can’t change. We’re all a combination of these two things. The secret is finding the balance and knowing what’s what!"

Gunn makes it clear that Rocket's line isn't just to include his full name from Marvel Comics, but symbolizes that Rocket has come to accept both parts of who he is. This makes the line the perfect capstone for Rocket Raccoon's three-movie arc.
