Thanos could well appear young from the movie The Eternals ! At least that's what Jim Starlin, the creator of the character, thinks. The big bad Thanos and his snap of his finger became iconic in pop culture in record time. But we are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Which means that sooner or later, the villain has to be put in his place in style by our favorite superheroes. Thus, Thanos is defeated and falls to dust in Avengers – Endgame. Endgame for the "Mad Titan"? Maybe not.
"They made so much money with this character! I don't see them getting rid of it that quickly… " Jim Starlin
Although The Eternals must take place after Avengers – Endgame, we must remember one thing: it is that the characters presented have existed since time immemorial. Yes, I did. They are not called "The Eternals" for nothing… Could it be that during their wanderings, they crossed paths with a young Thanos? Let's take the bets!
"Comic book characters tend to have a longer lifespan. Far beyond the actors who embody them… I expect to see a lot more Thanos in the time-line."
Although no official information has yet been released on this subject, it would not be surprising if the iconic villain makes his return to the MCU. It would even be very interesting to push his psychological development beyond what we saw in Avengers – Infinity War & Endgame. Let's just hope that if it appears, it will be for a real reason. And not for low-brow fan-service. How about you? Would you like to see younger Thanos in the MCU? We just have to wait to find out if this rumor is true!
