While promoting his recent film, Jimmy P., actor Benicio Del Toro talked a bit about his role as Taneleer Tivan aka The Collector in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Speaking with French magazine Les Inrockuptibles, the Academy Award winner said, "When someone calls you and says ‘I need you in my movie’, it’s exciting. I like comic-book movies, and it’s totally new for me. My character is The Collector, I’ve never heard of him so I just started some researches about him... A blockbuster can be really tiring to do, but it’s fun to shoot one occasionally. You have many people around you who bombard you with many information… You can not go wrong." Benicio Del Toro continues, "For example they told you ‘Now you have to go in this restaurant and kill this person.’ And then you ask: ‘Who? The blue haired girl, or the guy with the wig? ‘And you don’t get the answer. And suddenly, you heard ‘Action!’. And you have to go along: so you shoot everywhere and they’ll find a solution for the final cut." (transcription via @Agraoufan) Meanwhile, Benicio Del Toro was apparently filming scenes alongside Lee Pace's Ronan the Accurser during the recent night shoot for Guardians of the Galaxy. In the series of tweets below, check out other production updates.




























“Guardians of the Galaxy,” the next epic adventure from Marvel Studios, is directed by James Gunn from his screenplay, with a story by Nicole Perlman and Gunn, and the film will introduce audiences to a whole new side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Reilly as Rhomann Dey, and six-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close as Nova Prime. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is slated for August 1, 2014!

Warlock would be great, possibly leading into something involving the High Evolutionary just to make things a bit more out-there.

Wow that doesn't sound like good directing if they don't tell him who he shooting at how actor supposed feel like he doing his job right if doesn't know what hell going on. I mean Ridley Scott didn't tell Harrison ford what to do in Blade runner because he thought Ford was doing fine but Ford was not happy about not knowing what was going on Ridley scott said he learn from that mistake. Everything work out but still.

anyone else suspect that with Ronan the Accuser being confirmed as the main baddie for this flick, that Del Toro is actually playing Thanos and they're keeping it under wraps? I know its a long shot, but at the very least its more credible than anything El Mayimbe reports.
