There's been a lot of fantastic casting news for James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy lately, and it just keeps rolling on through. On the heels of news that Doctor Who fan favorite Karen Gillan was joining the film comes word that Benicio Del Toro has hopped on board as well. As with Gillan's, his actual role is still classified, but Deadline's report on the news comes with a very important distinction: "he’s playing a character that is built to be part of future Marvel films, which means he has signed a deal with options that put him into multiple movies."
Obviously any actor in any Marvel movie from here on out is going to have a contract that leaves the door open for them to appear in multiple movies, but it's worth noting that this news also labels Del Toro's as a lead role. We already know that Chris Pratt is playing Star-Lord, the leader of the interplanetary gang that is the Guardians of the Galaxy, so it stands to reason that if Del Toro's role is big enough to be considered a lead as well, he might be the lead bad guy. Might he be Thanos, the big bad we've already seen grinning at the end of The Avengers?
Thanos, like Loki before him, is expected to appear across various movies, not exclusively in Avengers movies, so it would line up with the wording of that news. However, as our marvel expert John Gholson theorizes, the same could be said of the character Adam Warlock. In the comics he's a member of the Guardians and Thanos has long been his arch-nemesis. If that's the case, maybe Del Toro is playing Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy and he'll also be popping up in The Avengers 2.
But what say you? Any guesses on who Del Toro might be playing?
