Following the release of the Marvel Cinematic Universe special on Disney+, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special director James Gunn finally answered a long-standing concern about the fate of Benicio Del Toro's The Collector following Avengers: Infinity War
Taneleer Tivan, a.k.a. The Collector, had an important role in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, serving as the buyer of the Orb (a.k.a. the Power Stone) that the crew was attempting to acquire. In truth, the figure was responsible for teaching the Guardians - and hence the viewer - about the Infinity Stones.
Fast forward to Avengers: Infinity War, the Collector returned when Thanos ambushed Knowhere to obtain the Reality Stone. However, the Avengers threequel didn't confirm if the Mad Titan killed Tivan or not.
Now, Gunn has shed some light on the subject.
James Gunn Confirms The Collector's Fate
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special director James Gunn talked about the project's impact on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
While explaining that the Holiday Special has a "lot of mythology" that is going to be important in Vol. 3. Gunn subtly confirmed that the Collector is still alive after Infinity War, saying that the Guardians "bought Knowhere" from him to serve as their base:
“I also think it was kind of necessary because, you know, I’m actually working in a lot of mythology that’s going to be important in Vol. 3. The fact that we had Cosmo the dog, the fact that they have this amazing spaceship called the Bowie that’s four stories tall in real life... They’ve bought Knowhere from The Collector, that’s their home base now -- all of those things are important to Vol. 3.”
Gunn also revealed the Guardians' new spacecraft, the Bowie (which may or may not be a nod to music legend David Bowie) and the arrival of Cosmo the dog to the squad.
Where is the Collector in Phase 4 of the MCU?
The Guardians of the Galaxy and the Collector appear to have reconciled by the time of the Holiday Special.
The Collector's decision to sell Knowhere to the team is unclear, although it's conceivable that it's his way of thanking the Guardians for saving the universe from Thanos.
Furthermore, it's probable that he no longer enjoys the art of collecting, so he decides to retire with the help of Peter Quill and his buddies.
The Collector's resignation isn't shocking given how Thanos' snap altered the world forever. Taneeler Tivan would not be the first character to reconsider her goals, as Nebula actor Karen Gillan has stated that she is "interested to maybe try and take [Nebula] to a place now where she's starting to rebuild her life" now that Thanos has been defeated.
In terms of Tivan's current location, the character may have reassembled with his other Elders of the Universe, awaiting the next move or cosmic danger.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is now available to watch on Disney+.
