In
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, Chukwudi Iwuji plays the
'High Evolutionary', a scientist who specializes in creating hybrid creatures with the goal of achieving the ultimate
Utopian society. We learn that the
Guardians 'Rocket Raccoon' was one of his creations, an
Earth raccoon who was genetically and cybernetically-modified when he was younger and now the mad scientist wants his property back as he possesses superior intelligence and the ability of invention, which his other hybrids lack, so he wants to learn the secrets of
Rocket's brain.

The High Evolutionary continually experiments with new hybrids, even creating a Counter-Earth filled with anthropomorphized animal lifeforms. When he is dissatisfied with his experiments he destroys them without hesitation and starts anew.
Recorder Vim costume worn by Mariam Shor
in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
In the new film Miriam Shor plays 'Vim' a recorder and laboratory assistant for the High Evolutionary and loyal to her master.
When the High Evolutionary dispatches 'Adam Warlock' to retrieve Rocket, the Guardian is critically wounded and his teammates come up with a plan to find a code which will remove the kill switch from within the raccoon's body and allow him to be healed.
Their mission takes them to the organically-grown space headquarters of OrgoCorp, the Orgoscope, one of the High Evolutionary's intergalactic bioengineering companies which is a front for his illegal experiments.
Orgosentry costume worn in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
The exhibit signage for this Orgosentry costume claims it belongs to 'Master Karja' who is played by Nathan Fillion in the film, but you never see him wearing a mask, so it could be anyone who played an Orgosentry protecting the Orgoscope.
