Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is teasing some major mayhem by the mad titan Thanos, played by Josh Brolin, in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War.”
During the Comic-Con Experience in Brazil over the weekend Feige said, “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.”
Then came his promise: “So, 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.”
With many of the longtime Marvel actors contracts coming to an end, could Feige be teasing a major death? Or even multiple major deaths? Fans will find out when “Avengers: Infinity War” opens May 4, 2018.
Anthony and Joe Russo directed “Avengers: Infinity War,” which is produced by Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee are executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay.
“Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” have grossed a combined $1.08 billion at the domestic box office.
