THIS IS HOW THANOS WILL APPEAR IN GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

After the casting of Josh Brolin as Thanos in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the upcoming “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” most people were probably wondering how he’ll appear.

Per Marvel’s modus operandi, it won’t be a straight-up “Hey, check it out, I’m Thanos” type of appearance, but rather one that’s doled out until a big uber reveal in a big whoopie-do movie like, say, “The Avengers 3.”

According to Vulture, we now know how the purple-skinned fiend will first show up in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy”:

Though Thanos didn’t appear until the very end of The Avengers, Vulture has learned that he’ll emerge in the first act of Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanos will be communicating remotely via hologram for most of the film — a move the Mad Titan likely cribbed from the equally enigmatic Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes Back — though he does show up in the purple flesh for a scene that also features Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), who do Thanos’s bidding and serve as the primary adversaries in Guardians. Still, though Thanos is only briefly glimpsed throughout Guardians, his presence is palpable throughout: Characters reference him often and fearfully, and he has familial ties to Gamora (Zoe Saldana), our green-skinned female lead.

Thanos, we’re told, will be trying to assemble his infamous Infinity Gauntlet, which would essentially make him invincible and require the combined might of the Marvel Universe to take him down. If you’ve been watching all the Marvel movies, you saw various powerful artifacts and items being used by various bad guys. Those, we’re told, will all figure prominently into how Thanos acquires his gauntlet, which features six powerful gem stones.

The whole thing, of course, will be partially based on the Marvel Comic book mega-crossover event “The Infinity Gauntlet” from the early ’90s by Jim Starlin. That was one of the most friggin’ epic company-wide crossovers I had ever read in my life, and is no surprise Kevin Feige probably had his eye on it since the very beginning.

Thanos is expected to make his first official Josh Brolin-played appearance in “Guardians” later this year before following it up with “Avengers 2″ in 2015.

I didn't expect that Birdman.

I thought it was going to be a Live-action version of Hannah-Barbara's Birdman that had the catch-phrase "Biiiiiirdman!"

Are Martian Manhunter and Max Lord popping up in JUSTICE LEAGUE?!


WB's Long-Term Plans For The DC Movie Universe Have Apparently Been Revealed!



May 2016 - BATMAN V. SUPERMAN

July 2016 - SHAZAM

Xmas 2016 - SANDMAN

May 2017 - JUSTICE LEAGUE

July 2017 - WONDER WOMAN

XMAS 2017 - UNTITLED GREEN LANTERN/THE FLASH TEAM-UP

MAY 2018 - MAN OF STEEL 2

Finke notes that the BATMAN V. SUPERMAN delay was due to contractual issues with the future JUSTICE LEAGUE actors, several of whom will make cameos in BVS. They need to have those actors tied down to multi-picture deals ala Marvel before they go before cameras. So, yeah, WB/DC is doing this a little backwards, but that doesn't mean it can't work. Finke also notes that Ryan Reynolds is 100% finished as Green Lantern. Ouch.


As my pal Devin Faraci of Badass Digest notes, we now have a pretty clear idea of which characters are going to be JUSTICE LEAGUE: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Cyborg (who was recently announced). It'd be weird for Sandman to crossover into this universe, but, if it's at all legally possible, I bet there are WB execs who are trying to make it happen.

Shane Black is a talented screenwriter and good director.  The first two Lethal Weapons, are ranked as some of my favorite action movies of all time.
