In a new interview with Empire, Infinity War director Joe Russo mentioned that he and his brother, Anthony, have sought to make a multilayered villain with Thanos while stating that they want him to be the Darth Vader for a new generation of kids.
Thanos has the potential to be the Darth Vader for a new generation of kids, but will Infinity War and Avengers 4 be able to cement that kind of iconic status?
“Darth Vader was the pre-eminent villain of my childhood, and we’re hoping to make a Darth Vader for a new generation.
The comparison makes sense and it seems that the Russo Brothers are poised to do the unthinkable with Infinity War and Avengers 4.
