Drax
A warrior whose family was killed by Ronan on Thanos's orders, and who joins the Guardians to get at him. Takes everything literally, which the later films play for comedy and the first plays for grief.
All Appearances
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Power Stone and the wider cosmic MCU. Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, Drax — the team whose sacrifices in Infinity War are among the most devastating.
2h 1m
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Ego (a Celestial) is Peter's father and the villain. Yondu sacrifices himself to save Peter. Emotionally the strongest Guardians film — but the team has disbanded with no confirmed Doomsday payoff.
2h 16m
Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos collects all six Infinity Stones and snaps away half of all life. Doctor Strange gives the Time Stone intentionally — 'We're in the endgame now.' This is the pivot everything before leads to and everything after responds to.
2h 29m
Thor: Love and Thunder
Jane Foster wields Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor — and dies of cancer after the final battle. Thor adopts Gorr's daughter Love. Love appears in Doomsday trailers. Thor confirmed for Doomsday.
1h 59m
GOTG Holiday Special
Mantis is revealed as Peter's half-sister. The Guardians have bought Knowhere from the Collector as their new home. Fun — but zero Doomsday relevance.
0h 44m
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Rocket's heartbreaking origin — experimented on by the High Evolutionary. The team's emotional farewell: Peter returns to Earth, Rocket leads new Guardians. No confirmed Doomsday payoff.
