The Collector’s museum in Guardians of the Galaxy is packed with Easter eggs for the past and future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Before the film’s release in 2014, not many people outside of hardcore Marvel Comics readers knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were. James Gunn’s film immediately changed that, as Guardians of the Galaxy became a massive hit. It was the MCU’s first true cosmic movie and introduced audiences to a new corner of the MCU.
Guardians of the Galaxy focused on the formation of a team containing Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot, but the movie also expanded the mythos of the cosmic side of Marvel. It included a small role for Thanos, teases of Celestials, established multiple alien races and planets, and the origin of the Infinity Stones. The latter came courtesy of Taneleer Tivan, better known as The Collector. The eccentric being has that title due to his enormous collection of rare artifacts from across the universe. Audiences got a peek at what The Collector had in his possession when the Guardians visited his museum on Knowhere.
Like the majority of Guardians of the Galaxy, The Collector’s museum is filled with detail. Gunn even included references to his directorial debut with the aliens from Slither among the collection. With so many containers in the museum, fans scoured over the scene upon the film’s release to try and discover all the Easter eggs. It was once thought that Beta Ray Bill was included, but Gunn has since confirmed that the mighty Korbonite warrior is not featured. But, there are several Easter eggs (including one big one that hasn’t been discovered) that do reference past movies in the MCU or set up characters for the future. Here is every MCU related Easter egg in The Collector’s museum.
Howard the Duck
Howard the Duck’s existence in the MCU first came as an Easter egg in The Collector’s museum. When the Guardians first visit The Collector, a box off in the distance teased viewers with Howard being part of the MCU. The cult-favorite Marvel hero previously appeared on the big screen in 1986 with the release of a Howard the Duck standalone film. It is generally regarded as one of the worst superhero movies ever made and seemed to eliminate any chance that Howard the Duck would be part of a film again. But, Guardians of the Galaxy included the big, talking, suit-wearing duck twice, as he was featured in the film’s post-credits scene.
After Guardians of the Galaxy introduced Howard (who is voiced by Seth Green), Gunn brought the character back for a cameo early on in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He was freed from The Collector’s grasp at the end of the first movie and was shown socializing with Ravagers in the sequel. Howard has since returned as part of Avengers: Endgame’s final battle, as he is shown walking through a portal alongside the Ravagers with a gun his hand.
Cosmo
Cosmo the Spacedog was also part of The Collector’s museum in Guardians of the Galaxy. He is seen quite prominently as the Guardians walk past him and he growls at Rocket, eliciting a snarl in return. As evident by his spacesuit, Cosmo was a test animal for the Soviet Space Program, CCCP. In the comics, Cosmo is sent to space in the 1960s but drifted off course until he arrived at Knowhere. With The Collector’s museum located on Knowhere in the MCU, Cosmo’s cameo has a bit of added to weight for Marvel enthusiasts.
Although Cosmo also is free of The Collector’s clutches at the end of the movie, he has not returned in the MCU so far. Guardians of the Galaxy also doesn’t indicate that Cosmo has received his telepath powers yet, which he had in the comics after being exposed to cosmic rays. Due to the mutation caused by the rays, Cosmo rose to become the security chief of Knowhere. If that happened to the MCU’s Cosmo, then that might not be a good sign of his future since Thanos laid waste to the location in Avengers: Infinity War.
Sovereign Cocoon
An early version of the Sovereign cocoons is another item in The Collector’s museum. Initially seen in the mid-credits scene that Gunn directed for Thor: The Dark World, the giant cocoon was first thought to be a tease for the creation of Adam Warlock as it resembled the cocoon responsible for his birth in the comics. The cocoon was featured again in Guardians of the Galaxy and shown split open after the explosion caused by the Power Stone. Gunn has confirmed that this specific cocoon didn’t contain Adam Warlock but instead is an ancient version of the cocoons the Sovereign used.
While it has yet to be revealed who (if anyone) was inside this ancient Sovereign cocoon, the presence of it helped set up one of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s five post-credits scenes. One of the scenes showed Ayesha using a newly created Sovereign birthing pod that will create a being “more beautiful, more powerful, and more capable of destroying the Guardians of the Galaxy.” She named her creation Adam, an obvious sign that Adam Warlock will come to the MCU sooner than later.
Chitauri
The Collector’s museum also contains a Chitauri alien, as one can be seen behind Rocket when he snarls at Cosmo. The alien race was first seen in The Avengers and was deployed in great numbers to serve under Loki’s command. After Iron Man blew up their main ship (killing every Chitauri invading Earth), it was unknown what the state of the race was. If they were near extinction, then The Collector having possession of one could make it all the more valuable. But Thanos still has some of them under his control in Avengers: Infinity War a few years later.
Dark Elf
Another alien race The Collector has in his museum are the Dark Elves. The Dark Elf in The Collector’s museum can be seen behind him while he explains the Infinity Stones and again behind his assistant. The once-dominant alien race was nearly wiped out by the Asgardians thousands of years ago but returned with a vengeance in Thor: The Dark World. But their efforts were once again thwarted. With more of the Dark Elves wiped out, The Collector might have had one of the last remaining members of the race in his possession during Guardians of the Galaxy. It is unknown if the Dark Elf survived the Power Stone explosion.
Frost Giant
The Collector also has a Frost Giant in one of the sections of his museum. Although the Frost Giant is difficult to spot due to the obstructed view from the cold, it appears that one is featured behind Taneleer during his introduction. This Frost Giant is not one of the last remaining members of the race, as Thor stopped Loki from destroying Jotunheim in Thor. However, they haven’t been seen since, except for the one in The Collector’s museum. Like many of the other species he had collected, it is unclear if the Frost Giant is still part of The Collector’s collection or if it escaped or died during the Power Stone explosion.
Other Alien Species
Multiple other alien species can be glimpsed in The Collector’s museum during Guardians of the Galaxy too. A member of the Xeronian race (humanoid looking aliens with white skin and large tusks) and a Hurctarian (humanoids with brown skin, pointy ears, four fingers, and cybernetic head implants) have been captured. Each race appears in both Guardians of the Galaxy films.
