10 Best Benicio Del Toro Movie Performances

10. The Collector - The MCU (2013-2018)

There are many great characters within the expansive MCU, and whilst the Collector is by no means the most compelling or prolific, thanks to del Toro's performance he's certainly made an impression.

The Collector, renowned for his collection of intergalactic relics, first appears in the post-credit scene for Thor: The Dark World (2013), before appearing more substantially in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). During this time, he comes into possession of the Reality Stone, adding it to his collection in hopes of finding the other stones across the universe.

At once hilarious and threatening, del Toro is perfectly cast as the eccentric and infamous Elder. Around since the dawn of time, the Collector is a sight to behold - his hair is white and thick, his clothes bizarre and care-free. He's affable, funny, weird without being off-putting, but also quite terrifying, cruel and ruthless.

It's a great role, even if it is only a brief one, and shows the mostly-serious actor having a large amount of fun.
