Avengers: Infinity War's Benicio del Toro on if He'll Return in Doomsday
Benicio del Toro recently shared his thoughts on whether he will join the cast of Avengers: Doomsday as The Collector. The actor debuted in the MCU in the 2013 film, Thor: The Dark World. Although after the 2018 film, Avengers: Infinity War, The Collector hasn't been seen in any Marvel movies. Benicio del Toro recently sat down for an interview with ComicBook to promote The Phoenician Scheme, when he talked about The Collector's potential role in Avengers: Doomsday. The outlet asked Benicio del Toro whether he would join the cast of the upcoming Avengers movie. In response, he expressed uncertainty about The Collector's future in the MCU and stated, 'I don't know. I mean, it's like, you gotta get invited to play in that international tournament, and I'd love to play in it, but fingers crossed that'll happen soon. I haven't been invited yet for a second round.' The Collector, aka Taneleer Tivan, last appeared on the big screen in Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos arrived at Knowhere to obtain the Reality Stone. Here, Tivan was shown in the illusion that Thanos created to deceive the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, whether The Collector survived or was killed by Thanos on Knowhere remained a mystery. In 2018, Benicio del Toro shared that he believed that The Collector was alive after Infinity War. He said, 'I think he's alive…I think that, you know. You're talking to him!' (via CinemaBlend) Additionally, in November 2022, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn also hinted that The Collector might be alive. While talking to Entertainment Tonight about the base the Guardians had in the GOTG Holiday Special, Gunn conveyed, 'They've bought Knowhere from The Collector, that's their home base now.' Avengers: Doomsday will come out on December 18, 2026. Originally reported by Ishita Verma on SuperHeroHype.

Virgin Mary sculpture standing nearly 200 feet set to be tallest religious statue in the world
Construction has begun on a 180-foot statue of the Virgin Mary in Konotopie, Poland. The project, once finished, is believed to be the tallest religious structure of its kind, according to Wirtalny Toruń, the tourism group associated with the structure. The statue of Mary itself is to be 133.2-feet high, sitting on top of a pedestal in the form of a 50-foot-high crown. The crown will form an observation serving as a place of pilgrimage. "Mary is the model of perfect love and obedience to Christ. God preserved Mary from sin, and she conceived our Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit, bringing Christ into our world," writes a faith resource site. In a press release from Wirtalny Toruń, the group says there is sentimental meaning behind the location of the statue. "The location of the monument to the Virgin Mary is not accidental, it will stand in close proximity to the existing Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Konotopia," said a press announcement released by the group. "It is there that there is a wonderful figure of Our Lady of Sorrows, where pilgrimages from all over the Dobrzyń Land have been coming for years," the release said. The Virgin Mary statue would surpass other notable landmarks of faith worldwide. The Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, stands almost 100 feet tall and Christ the King in Swiebodzin, Poland stretches 108 feet high. The Statue of Liberty in New York City is the tallest statue in the U.S., stretching 151 feet and made to resemble the Roman goddess Libertas, according news outlet The Collector. Construction work is expected to take approximately 18 months. Fox News Digital reached out to Wirtalny Toruń for comment.
