The Guardians of the Galaxy are back from this Friday, November 25, after the premiere of the Christmas special on Disney +which revealed what happened to a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that you may not remember.
Directed by James Gunn, this Christmas special shows the previous events of what will be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Interestingly, without adding other spoilers, the program reveals the fate of the Collector, a character played by Benicio del Toro.
Also Known As Taneleer Tivanis remembered because, like Thanos, he carried out his own search for the Infinity Stones, with less success than the Crazy Titan, as a report published on the website of frames.
In the Christmas special, we don’t see the Collector, but Nebula (Karen Gillan) names him and says: “Since we bought Knowhere from the Collector, we don’t have time for trivia like Christmas.”.
By this he means Knowhere, the severed head of a Celestial that became the home of Tivan’s operations and where he housed his collection.
Will we see the Collector in Guardians 3?
Although it seemed that in Avengers: Infinity War The Collector was in one of his cages and Thanos was killed by Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), this was just an illusion generated by the Reality Stone. Fading away, it was revealed that Wisdom was on fire and Tivan was missing.
Thanos wiped out the Collector’s base of operations with the Power Stone and the last time we saw the character had a bandage on his head and shared a drink with Howard the Duck and Cosmo.
Nebula’s statement confirms, first, that Knowhere is a new base for the Guardians, and second, that The Collector is alive and may return in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
