Unconfirmed Thor: The Dark World Post-Credit Spoilers

Two unconfirmed spoilers for the post-credits of Marvel Studios' "Thor: The Dark World".



This was collected from Brainfreeze.be thru Comicbook.com (so if it fucks up, I'm not the instigator hehehe).


POST CREDIT SCENE 1:


Involves Lady Sif and Volstagg returning this 'aether' to the Intergalactic museum where we get to meet this guy...




Yeah, apparently Marvel snuck in an appearance of Benicio Del Toro as "The Collector". This is basically a tie-up to next year's "Guardians of the Galaxy". Del Toro's Collector then utters the words "One down, five to go". There's a subtle reference to the six Infinity Gems which Marvel seems hellbent on doing past the MCU Phase three.


POST CREDIT SCENE 2:




Will focus on the lovestory between Thor Odinson and Jane Foster back on Earth. According to the plot, the reunited lovers go for a passionate kiss but is disrupted by an Asgardian beast tearing through London.


Must be a BILGESNIPE




THOR: THE DARK WORLD opens October 30.

Guardians of the Galaxy Roles for Del Torro, Pace and Gillian Revealed

Den of Geeks is fighting the currents with their daring confirmation for the roles of three stars attached to Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" namely Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace and Karen Gillian.


The long retracted/ redacted role of the Collector (Taneleer Tivan) is given to Benicio Del Toro and if you look at the photo below, you'd see why this is a perfect fit.

If that's not a perfect fit then I don't know what is. My only concern is that Del Toro has this slurred speech. It's not an impediment but it does ruin some great dialogue (assuming we get good lines from this villain).

Here's a bit of info about the character from Wikipedia: "Taneleer Tivan is one of the Elders of the Universe and is close to his fellow Elder En Dwi Gast (the Grandmaster). He apparently came to self-awareness billions of years ago, on the planet Cygnus X-1. He is an enormously powerful being who wielded the Power Primordial and, though at first he took the appearance of an old human, his true form is a powerful alien."

Former Dr. Who star Karen Gillian's role has also been revealed as being the alleged granddaughter of Thanos, the intergalactic terrorist Nebula.

Here's her stat card from way back when Marvel still pushed trading cards...

This of course debunks the previous rumor I posted about the redheaded beauty being cast as Angela. Which kinda sucks because with her auburn locks, she could've been perfect as the angelic Spawn-hunter.

My favorite 'confirmation' however happens to be what actor Lee Pace will be playing. According to the news that Den of Geeks broke, the former star of "Pushing Daisies" will be playing the role of Kree accuser and frequent Fantastic Four foe Ronan the Accuser.

OK, I'm not 100% sure about how he's going to bulk up considering that Ronan is a pretty physical character but I do know that Pace has the acting skills needed to deliver meatier, statesmanly lines. You see Ronan's not just an alien brawler with a big-ass hammer, he's also what we could see as a judge in Kree society. He needs to be eloquent when he talks and I can see why Marvel Studios picked Pace for the role. For all we know this appearance of the Accuser will be all talk. One thing though, the character in the 616 Universe has faced off against both Gamorra (Zoe Saldana) and Drax the Destroyer (Batista) so it's highly unlikely that he'll be given a 'desk job'.

This confirmation might have some meat and truth to it, but until Marvel confirms this, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. We don't have to wait that long though since SDCC 2013 is around the corner, the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) might have a surprise treat for us.
