Thanos' Master Plan in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Has Been Revealed
We've already been told that Thanos (Josh Brolin) is considered the main character in Joe and Anthony Russo's Avengers: Infinity War. We now know what his whole master plan is, the one goal he has in mind that sets him on his journey!
There are some major differences in his reasoning than what's in the comics. The whole reason behind his universal destruction in the comics was to win over Death so that he could court her affection.
In one of the Doctor Strange special features, co-writer Stephen McFeely talked about Infinity War and described Thanos' ultimate goal as this:
"His goal is to rebalance the universe as he sees it. So when he figures out that the Infinity Stones could do this for him at the snap of a finger, that becomes his main goal."
We can only speculate as to what "rebalancing the universe" means, but it definitely doesn't sound to me like he's pursuing Death. Maybe he sees it as a cleansing of all of the superheroes who are rising in the universe. I have no idea.
It's not really that surprising that Marvel is switching some things up with Thanos' motivation behind wiping our half of the universe. They've made big changes to every storyline that they've used from the comics.
The main story for Infinity War will most likely follow Thanos as he goes from one place to another collecting the Infinity Stones, and once he has them he's going to unleash holy hell in the MCU that will spill over into the fourth Avengers film that has yet to be titled.
We'll get to see Thanos in action in Avengers: Infinity War hits on May 4th, 2018.
