Next year will mark the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the occasion will be celebrated in spectacularly epic fashion with the release of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. After years of teasing, the upcoming film will finally push Thanos (Josh Brolin) into the spotlight as he seeks to put his mark on the universe, and even the heroes of the MCU may not be able to stop him. While speaking at a panel during Brazil’s Comic-Con Experience, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased that Thanos will prove just why he's the biggest and baddest villain in the opening minutes of INFINITY WAR.
You know, we’ve been teasing Thanos since the very first Avengers film. Remember the end of Avengers, the very end of the movie he turns around in the chair and you realize something bad is coming. We’ve been teasing him for years and the trick is when you tease something for that long you have to deliver. Within the first five minutes of Infinity War, people will understand why Thanos is the biggest and baddest villain in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Thanos will have to do something exceptionally terrible in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR in order to live up to all the hype, but what could it be? There are several possibilities, including destroying an entire planet, Xandar for example, or even murdering an Avenger right off the bat. Place your bets folks. What heinous deed will Thanos commit in the opening of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR?
