Del Toro unlikely to return in Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Benicio Del Toro has revealed that he doesn’t expect to reprise his role as the Collector in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

When asked by ComingSoon.net if Taneleer Tivan (Collector) would return, Del Toro said “They would have told me, I hope,” the actor said. “I do hope to play that character again at some point.”

Del Toro may not be featuring in Guardians Vol. 2 but the majority of the first film’s cast will return with the likes of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, and Dave Bautista back on board. Oldboy actress Pom Klementieff makes her Marvel premiere as Mantis and rumour has it that Kurt Russell is in talks to play Star-Lord’s father.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters on May 5, 2017.
