Although this was the first appearance of The Grandmaster on the big screen, he has a connection with a character audiences have previously (and briefly) seen in another MCU film: The Collector, played by Benicio del Toro.
And with the MCU in constant expansion, Goldblum would like to see his character team up with del Toro’s in the future.
Thor: Ragnarok‘s Jeff Goldblum would like the Grandmaster and the Collector to team up at some point.
The film also introduced new characters, such as Thor’s older sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), and the Grandmaster (Goldblum), ruler of the planet Sakaar.
