“When someone calls you and says ‘I need you in my movie,’ it’s exciting,” he says. “I like comic-book movies, and it’s totally new for me. My character is The Collector. I’ve never heard of him so I just started [to research] about him…”

Del Toro might have done some reading around the subject, he goes on to say that his character’s motivation is occasionally kept a mystery even to him.

“For example, they told you ‘Now you have to go in this restaurant and kill this person,’” says Del Toro. “And then you ask: ‘Who? The blue haired girl, or the guy with the wig?’ And you don’t get the answer.”

“And suddenly, you heard ‘Action!’ And you have to go along: so you shoot everywhere and they’ll find a solution for the final cut.”

The Collector appears to be set to show off his violent side.

The film is directed by James Gunn and co-starring Chris Pratt, Glenn Close, and Zoe Saldana with Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper voicing two other cases.

Guardians Of The Galaxy will open in theaters August 1, 2014
