'Avengers: Infinity War': Thanos In Full Body Armor And Famous Voices For The Black Order Teased
Avengers: Infinity War is finally bringing the Mad Titan known as Thanos into the mix as a true villain. He's been pulling strings ever since The Avengers, but now he's strapping on the Infinity Gauntlet and getting things done himself. However, all the footage we've seen of the villain (played by Josh Brolin) in Infinity War so far has him wearing a sleeveless armored shirt and no helmet. That's significantly different from how he's carried himself up to this point, but there are new hints that we'll see him in full armor after all.
On top of that, even though we've got a line on nearly all of the Marvel characters who will be appearing in Avengers: Infinity War, there are apparently some cast members who we haven't heard about yet. No, there aren't any secret superheroes joining the mix (at least as far as we know), but the children of Thanos, known as the Black Order, will be voiced by some recognizable names.
Avengers Infinity War Giving Thanos Full Armor?
Even though Thanos was last seen wearing full armor as he grabs the Infinity Gauntlet from his own vault, his arrival in Avengers: Infinity War features a very different look. Instead, Thanos looks like he's showing up to an intergalactic gym with a sleeveless shirt and no flashy helmet. But there's a chance at some point the Avengers become too dangerous to keep his body so vulnerable in battle.
In two separate posts, Reddit revealed these Avengers: Infinity War toy pictures featuring Thanos:
As you can see, the illustration on the Hot Wheels set not only promises an insane crossover between Marvel and the Fast and Furious franchise, but it also features Thanos in his full battle armor. The figure included with that toy set also follows suit. Meanwhile, the other toy is an action figure set that has Thanos packaged with Iron Man, and he's wearing the same full armor in that package, too.
Obviously there are plenty of instances when the designs of toys don't match up with what is shown on the big screen. But since we've seen Thanos wear this full armor before, it would stand to reason that he would wear it again instead of looking like a purple bro at a weightlifting tournament. Don't take this as a guarantee that he'll don his full armor, but we think there's a good chance he will at some point.
The Voices of The Black Order
While we don't know for sure if Thanos will wear his full armor in Avengers: Infinity War, we know he has a full roster of children to do his dirty work for him. The Black Order is a group of adoptive children of Thanos who work as his own private army, and they're going to be a force to be reckoned with on Earth. Their names are Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive, and apparently they will be voiced by some recognizable talents.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Kevin Feige was asked about the Black Order, and he said, "There are interesting people doing the voices." Of course, he didn't divulge any specific names, but it sounds like they're famous enough voices that fans will know whey they hear them. Feige added, "You'll probably know when you see the movie."
Fingers crossed that one of them will be voiced by Rip Taylor.
