Kevin Feige Claims Thanos Has Been Cast
It’s been almost two years since The Avengers ended with a scene showing the evil Chitauri turning to a mysterious purple fellow who could only smile at the camera, completely vexing just about every non-comic reader in the audience. And yet his absence from Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier was ominous. Is Thanos coming? And if so, who will play the mad Titan?
Kevin Feige, noted raconteur, has held court on this topic before, claiming Thanos would show up with motion capture in Guardians Of The Galaxy. But apparently there’s a heavier flesh-and-blood element to him as well. When Empire Magazine (via CBM) asked Feige, he revealed, “There is an actor. I’m not sure we want to announce it yet.”
Which begs the question: who would dare step into the shoes of Marvel’s most menacing interstellar villain? Surely Feige isn’t referring to Damion Poitier, who stood in for Thanos in The Avengers. If it were him, Feige would likely say, “Yes, Damion is reprising his role and we’re happy to have him in the Marvel fold.” Feige knows the fans expect major casting for a role like this, and will tease this out as long as he damn well pleases.
