That time will finally arrive in Avengers: Infinity War, when he leads The Black Order and his monstrous hordes in trying to obtain the six Infinity Stones, and as we’ve seen in the first Infinity War trailer, Thanos will secure at least two Stones.
Ever since Thanos grinned at the camera in The Avengers’ mid-credits scene, Marvel movie fans have been waiting to see the Mad Titan get off his space throne and finally show why he’s the overarching antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The comic book Thanos remains one of the Marvel universe’s greatest baddies, and I suspect that Infinity War will present Josh Brolin’s iteration as being equally notorious.
Thanos will also be driving the story in a way that’s akin to a heist film, so fans needn’t worry about him being treated like many other MCU villains.
