If you saw Thor: The Dark World, then you remember after the credits seeing Bencio Del Toro as The Collector, which was the lead in for the upcoming Guardians of The Galaxy.
CelebNMusic247.com has learned that writer and artist Jim Starlin’s works are quickly becoming a prominent part of the Marvel Comics universe, especially with The Collector serving as a bridge to Guardains.
From the 2012 Avenger sequel to Thor and on to Guardians of The Galaxy all the films are connected. The Collector is the link to each of the films which helps to introduce Thanos in the upcoming third installment of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
In The Avengers Marvel fans got to see the grinning Thanos in the mid-credits button of The Avengers and Thor 2 fans saw The Collector doing what he does best, collecting things for his seditious plot.
We have learned via ScreenRant that fans will meet at least several more of Starlin’s characters in Guardians of the Galaxy, a film that will finally offer a little background on big bad Thanos and give moviegoers a reason to be keeping him in mind for future films.
In fact, Thanos (Josh Brolin will be the voice of the motion-captured and animated character) was going to be coming back in not only Guardians of the Galaxy but The Avengers sequel as well, adding credence to theories that after we meet Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket Raccooon this August, they may make their way to Earth. Yes we’re talking the Avengers (The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Arrow and Captain America).
Though, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron is dealing with another new villain named Ultron (and his robotic army) instead. We don’t know what new origin story Joss Whedon has come up with for Ultron. We believe it will have to do with some type of tie-in that will end up on earth so both films superheros can team together to fight Ultron.
However, Guardians writer and director James Gunn assured that all the films will be connected, sayingL
“We’re definitely connected to Avengers 3.”
With the films being connected in full circle, it appears that the most likely storyline would be the Mad Titan we know as Thanos coming to Earth giving option to expand on GOG characters in the upcoming Thor and Captain America films as well as The Avengers.
As for how? Look towards the Mad Titan we know as Thanos coming to Earth as the most likely reason. The character’s been kept behind-the-scenes out in space throughout the events on Asgard and Earth we’ve seen take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, but we will see him again in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here is a little backstory for Guardians:
Ronan, alongside Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), all share history with Thanos, as revealed in the official Guardians of the Galaxy prequel comic. Ronan was a mentor of sorts to the pair of lethal ladies, who are seemingly bio-engineered super assassins. For some reason, Thanos punishes them harshly (we won’t spoil how) and it caused Gamora to leave Thanos’ side.
The mission for Thanos and his followers, in large part, has to do with tracking down and acquiring the orb we saw in the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer and on display at Comic-Con (Thanos has been after it for years). That orb, as we suspect, might be one of the mighty Infinity Stones – much like the Tesseract (Cosmic Cube) as seen at the end of Thor: The Dark World and the introduction of The Collector.
Here are the new solo posters for Guardians, which drops in theaters in August.
