====Guardians of the Galaxy====
Cosmo is part of the Collector's Museum, and she is first seen when she growls at Rocket. In a post-credits scene, after the explosion caused by the Collector's slave, Carina, Cosmo appears licking Tivan's face, which seemed disgusting to Howard the Duck.

====The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special ====
Cosmo appears in the holiday special as a new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy helping rebuild Knowhere.
===Television===
====Guardians of the Galaxy (TV series)====
Cosmo, playing a much larger role than he did in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, resides on Knowhere as its security chief when he encounters Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot's stick form. He greets the group and escorts them until Rocket and Drax are captured by Knowhere's cords. Cosmo manages to escape with Groot's stick form to warn the Guardians that Knowhere had come alive.

====Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!====
Similar to his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy, Cosmo can be found in the Collector's archives in the Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! ride. He is portrayed as an animatronic kept in a tank within the queue.
At the end of the ride, he can be seen escaping his cell with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Strangely, instead of being a brown Labrador like in the film, Cosmo appears to be a Golden Retriever.
====Disney Skyliner====
Cosmo's likeness appears on a gondola of the Disney Skyliner, being pet by Yondu.
==Trivia==
*Cosmo's creation was inspired by the real-life Laika which was a dog sent to space by the Soviet Union in the 1950s.
*In the comics, Cosmo was a male while in the films, she is a female as directors wanted Cosmo be the same gender as her inspiration, Laika.
*Her favorite group are The Carpenters which in her opinion "do not have a single bad song".
