Marvel: We Thought He Was Dead, This Character Survived Thanos!

Did the so-called Taneleer Tivan (aka the Collector), played by Benicio del Toro in Guardians of the Galaxy and then in The Last Avengers, survive the visit, to say the least, muscular that Thanos gave him?

Midway through Infinity War, the Mad Titan, played by Josh Brolin, actually landed on the planet Knowhere, determined to retrieve the Reality Stone to adorn his Infinity Glove.

The last time we saw the Collector on screen, he was being brutally tortured by Thanos, who ended up unceremoniously throwing him in one of his cages. But the streak is actually just an illusion that the Titan set up to capture his daughter Gamora.

That is, we don’t know exactly what happened to the collector before giving the stone to Thanos, but we can easily assume that he spent a very bad quarter of an hour in his company. Since we haven’t seen him since, the question arises: is he alive?

When Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn was recently asked about this on Twitter, he shut down the potential debate: “yes”– he answered simply, the collector is still alive.

Information that also explains how—according to a line spoken by Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Happy Holidays TV movie—the space vigilantes were able to buy the planet Knowhere from the character to make it their headquarters.

Even if we don’t know the exact state of his health, we can now assume that the Collector is alive and well, and that he will likely reappear one day or so in the next Marvel Cinematic installments. the world.
