I'm not crazy when I think they're bringing things in from not-just-Infinity-Gauntlet, right?

I'm not crazy when I'm seeing the Black Order in the poster, right?

 

[Valentus]

Infinity war with a plot of Thanos destroying trillions of life forms with the only motivation of "notice me hela-senpai" could be obliterated by the critic. Even Marvel is not that crazy.

 

[Big Blue]

After reading the plot behind the Infinity Gauntlet, I have no fucking idea how they will even incorporate all that bat shit crazy sequences in Infinity War. Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet was untouchable. Killing half universe within a second. Like seriously, the power is crazy af and I am actually more hyped to see how Marvel deals with this all in Avengers.

I mean comic book movies have long nerfed its heroes and villains. They'll just do the same with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Yeah they already revealed The Black Order is in the movie at D23. This is going to be a hybrid of Infinity Gauntlet and Hickman's Infinity. The motivation of the former with the characters and action of the latter (Black Dwarf invasion of Wakanda, Ebony Maw vs Doctor Strange etc)

Pretty sure he mentioned in Civil War that the stone is what gives him life.

Honestly he's probably the most likely victim to show Thanos' brutality, and they can always bring him back later because, you know, robot.

He said he doesn’t know hat the gem does, but can use it.

In the Thanos Quest comic there a lot of people who wesr the gems on their forehead, but barely scrstch the surface of it’s power. Vision is not a robot, he is a Synthezoid, he has synthetic human organs so he doesn’t need the stone to live. Maybe the stone only helped create his brain combined with Thor’s lightning, this is comics they can write around it a million times.

That's part of it. But in Thanos Quest he was brought back by Death to restore balance to the universe, and that meant killing half of it. He figured out the quickest way to do that was the infinity gems. So, he does what he was chosen to do, but also might impress Death.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Gunn has already confirmed that Adam won't appear before Vol. 3.

Adam Warlock won't happen until Guardians 3, I don't think he will be involved in Infinity War/Gauntlet at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Celestials appear to stop Thanos in Avengers 4 once he gets the gauntlet and balance the scales a little in the heroes' favor.

Shame about Adam Warlock. I want to see how they deal with him in MCU.

It sucks that the film universe is so divided. No Silver Surfer or X-Men. Doctor Doom would be cool as well.

I mean comic book movies have long nerfed its heroes and villains. They'll just do the same with the Infinity Gauntlet.

The Infinity Gems pack a lot of power. Has there ever been a hint on what they can do in the MCU? Do they achieve the same power for Time, Space etc? Or are the powers simply gimped version of the comic book version?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Think it's these things from Infinity

Shame what's happened to the MCU Inhumans. Could've got that scene of Black Bolt whispering that thing's arm off.

Cool so we could finish Avengers 3 with Thanos taking over the earth and then have the fight back bi in Avengers 4

They're not even fighting him on Earth. Avengers 3 is him trying to obtain all the stones. Avengers 4 is when he will complete the gauntlet.

Oh, you are a true friendo. I'm going to re-read those this evening. With a glass of Cabernet. And headphones.

Anyone with Marvel Unlimited that hasn't done so already, should.

Truly, I really missed this news.

Does that look like earth? At most it looks like he sends the Black Order to earth and the final showdown with Thanos himself appears to be off-world. Could be a ruined Xandar?

Someone on the community OT thread mentioned that the Russo Brothers want Thanos to be this generations Vader, which I found interesting.

The video/interview in question.

So they have plans to keep using Thanos as a plot device for Villains in the upcoming movies post-Avengers 3 leading to Avengers 4?

 

[Replicant]

Wait, is this film not a 2 parter anymore? I thought they were filmed back to back

I think it'll be like Empire Strikes Back -> Return of the Jedi kind of thing.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Do we even have a motivation for Thanos yet? Is it just "I'm a bad guy so I destroy things"?

I really hope he has an actual motivation for all of this.

He will use the Gauntlet to wish away his failson Thane.

I hope Hela doesn't replace Death, but that would be a total MCU move.

[Dio Brando]

if that's the case, i'm on thanos side. 👀

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Hela is the Goddess of Death, it makes zero sense to introduce another entity called Death who wouldn't even be interacting with the rest of the cast. It's absolutely the kind of thing that works in the comics but needs streamlining for movies.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

 

[shockthrill]

I don't know much about Thanos, but isn't he also one of the most intelligent beings in the Marvel Universe

like Beyond Reed level?

 

[Kurdel]

Hela is the Goddess of Death, it makes zero sense to introduce another entity called Death who wouldn't even be interacting with the rest of the cast. It's absolutely the kind of thing that works in the comics but needs streamlining for movies.

You can have her be a nihilist that doesn't believe in Death, and have Desth come and claim her at the end of the movie, showing even she answers to a higher power.

Having Thanos court that power leapfrogs Hela's place in the MCU and raises the stakes considerably. Having him trying to impress the villain of Thor 3 is just lame, unless she is proven to be a power beyond reckoning in Ragnarok. Still, Thanos would be seen as a underling of another villain, and thst isn't a great plsce to start things off.

[Primethius]

I would have loved if he was balancing the universe because the heroes messed with cosmic entities/forces of nature.

But Marvel doesn't have Galactus and haven't really set that up anywhere else, so ah well.

 

[jon bones]

yes, the MCU is smart enough to economize their characters...

it doesn't make sense to introduce a new 'Death as a concept' after spending a whole movie just 1 year prior building up Hela, Goddess of Death played by a multiple academy award winning actress

I have the same motivation as Thanos. ��

if that's the case, i'm on thanos side. ��

 

[tomtom94]

I was on team "Hela in Death's role" but, erm, has Cate Blanchett been announced for either film? Because I don't think she has.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Big Wakanda invasion makes me think it's home to the final stone. Only other recognisable action on Earth is where Wanda is, potentially being Vision's location.

Marvel can use her as a cameo / surprise role.

Spoiler

IIRC Gweneth Paltrow was never announced for Spiderman Homecoming either.

Soul Stone to appear in BP movie then.

 

[Violater]

Reading the comics right now, I thought she was just a figment of his imagination.

Also is it ever really explained why Tanos is so powerful?

 

[Zeyphersan]

It’s present on the Wakandan Express Train

 

[theBmZ]

I'm kind of thinking that Hela is death and that Thanos makes a surprise appearance at the end of Thor and helps Hela destroy Asgard, stranding Thor in space which is where the Guardians find him.

 

[The Kree]

His species was designed to be that way by Celestials.

His Mother and Father etc.

He's the most powerful Eternal (who are very powerful anyway) and after his first resurrection by Death she greatly augmented his powers even more.

Thanos is essentially a mutant in regards to his own race. He's always been... special.

How crazy do you think the movie will portray Thanos with the gauntlet? Will moon crushing be the most extreme thing we see or will there be more like in this video here presented:
