Shortly after the “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” premiered on Disney+, Kumail Nanjiani shared his reaction to its inclusion of two Kingo posters. First, Nanjiani praised the special overall, tagging director James Gunn in his comments. Then, Nanjiani thanked Gunn for incorporating Kingo, quote tweeting a Thai Marvel Cinematic Universe fan account that shared images of the Kingo movie posters that appear in the special. “And a special thanks to him for including posters for TWO Kingo projects in there,” Nanjiani wrote.
Ultimately, Kingo’s inclusion in the “Guardians” Christmas special makes sense in spite of the character’s complicated status after the events of “Eternals” — as “Eternals” reveals, Kingo is both a superhero and a world-famous movie star, suggesting filmgoers in the MCU would remain plenty interested in his movies no matter his presence or lack thereof in their world.

In a November 2022 interview with Collider, Nanjiani shared that’s unsure of whether or not Kingo might turn up in a subsequent MCU film or TV show. Nanjiani feeling grateful for Gunn’s decision to include Kingo posters in his “Guardians” Christmas special, then, makes perfect sense given his uncertainty about whether or not he might join the cast of an MCU project in the future.
