The Marvel Cinematic Universe is all the time rising, due to new initiatives arriving in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Followers who spent years watching the Marvel motion pictures so as are always anxious about upcoming Marvel motion pictures, and which characters may pop again up. Benecio del Toro has appeared plenty of occasions as The Collector, and not too long ago expressed curiosity in returning as soon as once more.
What we find out about Avengers: Doomsday is restricted, and given the multiversal story followers predict nearly anybody to look. The Collector was final seen in Avengers: Infinity Struggle, though del Toro did briefly voice the character for What If…?. When showing on the Pleased Unhappy Confused podcast, he expressed curiosity taking part in the cosmic character once more, saying:
There’s undoubtedly extra on the desk. I imply, it’s less than me, however I feel there may be.
That is fairly hopeful. Whereas The Collector is not an enormous a part of the MCU, his presence is felt all through the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. And whereas it is unclear if/when he’ll return to the large display screen, del Toro did reprise his function for Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney’s California Journey.
It stays to be seen if The Collector returns to the MCU, however the truth that the actor is right down to clown is certainly an encouraging message. Doomsday and Secret Wars appear to be they are going to be really wild multiversal tales, so nearly anybody might probably pop up.
I must assume any attainable look by Benecio del Toro’s signature Marvel character could be linked to cosmic tales, and particularly the way forward for the Guardians of the Galaxy. The ending of Guardians 3 confirmed a brand new model of the staff led by Rocket. In the meantime, Nebula and Drax are are persevering with to reside on Knowhere, which used to belong to The Collector. So there are some narrative threads to tug from for this character to as soon as once more seem within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After all, the studio’s plans for the Guardians are a whole thriller. Whereas the title card on the finish of Vol. 3 confirmed Star-Lord could be again someday down the road, it is unclear if the franchise will proceed/if we’ll see the remainder of the staff.
Personally, I might prefer to see Mantis get her personal TV present, displaying her solo journey via the cosmos. This might probably function a purpose to carry Benecio del Toro again as The Collector. Or if a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film is inexperienced lit starring Rocket’s staff, then that is likely to be one other attainable avenue. Hey, a man can dream.
Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters on December 18th, 2026, so we’ll must hold questioning about its contents. Subsequent up is The Incredible 4: First Steps, which hits theaters July twenty fifth as a part of the 2025 film launch listing. Solely time will inform if Benecio del Toro will get to play that character once more.
