TheMarvel Cinematic Universe ’s Grandmaster and The Collector might meet on the big screen if the thespian of both get their wish . Since Benicio del Toro made his introduction as The Collector inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 1 , theElders of the Universehave been one of the MCU ’s heavy mysteries . A lot can be inferred from the characters given their comic origins . However , in the MCU , few things are know about the Elders of the Universe , include whether they ’re even touch in some way .
To date , there have been three Elders of the Universe enclose . The Collector was the first inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 1 , he was followed up Kurt Russell ’s Ego the Living Planet inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2and most late there was Jeff Goldbum ’s Grandmaster inThor : Ragnarok .

In Screen Rant ’s exclusive audience with Benicio del Toro forSicario : twenty-four hours of the Soldado , we enquire the actor about The Collector , who was last seen as an phantom created by Thanos inAvengers : Infinity War . The motion-picture show made it unclear ifThe Collector survived Thanos ' attackon his quickness or Thanos ' with child snap . However , consort to del Toro , it seems The Collector is live and well and ready to go with The Grandmaster .
We need del Toro flat if he ’s peach to Goldblum or Marvel about The Grandmaster and The Collector meeting up . Del Toro respond :
No , I have n’t talked to him , but it would be an award for me to work out with him . I ’ve been a lover and you roll in the hay , it ’d be majuscule . It ’d be great .
Obviously , that ’s pretty far aside from a check that a Collector and Grandmastermovie is in the works for MCU Phase 4(or Phase 5 ) . However , the estimate is still out there and both Goldblum and del Toro seem perfectly uncoerced , even excited , to mould together . antecedently , Goldblum confirm the survival of The Grandmaster inAvengers : Infinity Warand explained that he need to descend back to the universe of discourse , if Marvel will have him . In other words , the only real bent - up to control The Collector , The Grandmaster or any Elder of the Universe again is if Marvel has a account organize for them .
This is some heavy conjecture as Marvel Studios is keeping their programme for the universe beyondAvengers 4very well under wraps . However , if Marvel require , The Grandmaster , The Collector and their Brother could be the complete new antagonist to conduce the new earned run average of the MCU post - Avengers 4 .
When Thanos ' story is wrapped up , no matter how it ends , the MCU is going to need a new villainous force to connect the various movie together and drive the overall game fore . With rumor that the MCU will be going more cosmicwith a place - faring hero like Captain Marvel " leading " the cosmos , the Elders of the Universe would be raw villains for the MCU ’s futurity . They ’ve already been present through The Collector , Ego and The Grandmaster . The can look as human . Therefore they ’re much more relatable andfeasible than some of Marvel ’s other space domicile villains .
The MCU has given no meter reading in the movies themselves that the Elders of the Universe are doom for any greater intention than some quirky diversions . However , it still could come about and given how challenging both characters have been in their various MCU appearances , perhaps a team - up or lofty " malefic " Elder alliance should bechance .
