Star-Lord
Abducted from Earth as a boy by Ravagers and raised by Yondu, Peter Quill styles himself Star-Lord and assembles the Guardians out of a prison break. His father turned out to be a Celestial and his mother a woman he watched die.
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
Avengers: Endgame
Five years after the snap, the surviving Avengers execute a time heist to undo it. Tony snaps Thanos away and dies. Steve stays in the past with Peggy — passing the shield to Sam. The MCU's defining film.
3h 2mAvengers: Endgame Encore
A theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame, timed just ahead of Doomsday. Every screening includes an exclusive look at Avengers: Doomsday, and IMAX and Disney's new Infinity Vision format add an extra sneak peek on top of it. The Russo brothers have called the new material a bridge into Doomsday, though Marvel has not said exactly what it shows. The story itself is unchanged: if you've already seen Endgame, you already know it.
3h 5m
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.
