D23: Marvel Unveils A New Look At King Thanos - A Mad Titan Variant Who Defeated The AVENGERS

As D23 gets underway, Marvel has unveiled a full look at a Variant of the Man Titan who prevailed against Earth's Mightiest Heroes known as King Thanos...

We got our first glimpse of some concept art of King Thanos back in 2022, and an official look at the majestic Mad Titan has now been unveiled via a new standee spotted on the event floor as 2024's D23 gets underway.

This take on the Multiverse Saga's big bad managed to defeat Earth's Mightiest Heroes during the final battle of Avengers: Endgame, and will be the antagonist of the upcoming Avengers Campus E-Ticket ride at Disney California Adventure Park.

There's been some speculation that King Thanos could ultimately make his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and might even play a role in Avengers: Secret Wars. Anything is possible, but with so many other characters and plot points converging for what is shaping up to be the franchise's biggest ever event, we don't see the studio throwing such a powerful take on the Mad Titan into the mix.

Check out some photos and video from the event floor at the links below.

Get ready to enter the Multiverse like never before — by battling alongside the avengers to defeat King Thanos! As revealed during the A Boundless Future: Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products panel at D23 Expo 2022, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed that a brand new attraction is coming soon to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort that will let recruits fight join the fight to stop a new threat, King Thanos, a Multiverse variant designed specifically for Avengers Campus.

The third attraction to join Avengers Campus — alongside Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission - BREAKOUT and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure — will soon head into the Multiverse alongside fan-favorite Super Heroes, because joining forces with the Avengers means facing foes from anywhere and everywhen!

@FireandBlood - Since this is for a ride I doubt we'd see much of the character. If we do probably to remove his spine like others mentioned

No way could be payoff be good as Frieza in the ToP though

@ItsNotForMeWahh - If it’s him and Stark just letting lose on Doom, idk. It could be.

@FireandBlood - Yeah...Goku was more dense than I thought if he thought that would turn into a similar situation to like most every other character that was bad initially on that show. Reminds me of Yhwach going to recruit Aizen. Sometimes a villain is a villain through and through.

That’s the Obsidian King Thanos design from the comics.

Hope we see King Thanos in Doomsday, only to be decimated by Doom.

But didn't the main MCU thanks already defeat the Avengers? He died the winner. No cap.

@Conquistador - What do you mean? Have you seen Endgame?
Conquistador
Conquistador - 8/9/2024, 9:16 AM
@Shmokey20 - Yeah that was a variant they created when they went back in time. Not the same dude who snapped, won, retired on a farm and had his head chopped off by Thor.
thewanderer
thewanderer - 8/9/2024, 9:59 AM
@Conquistador - decapitated Thanos still won. They just killed him after the fact.
Conquistador
Conquistador - 8/9/2024, 10:10 AM
@thewanderer - that's my point. The titles talks about a thanos who defeated the Avengers, when we already had one who did.

He did what he set out to do defeated all killing half of them...

Endgame was a time variant version.

How quickly people forget.
thewanderer
thewanderer - 8/9/2024, 10:19 AM
@Conquistador - I’m no comics expert, but from what I understand King Thanos is different.

The Thanos in Infinity War won and then went off and retired.


King Thanos won and then ruled the Galaxy in a mad dictatorship.
Conquistador
Conquistador - 8/9/2024, 10:38 AM
@thewanderer - na I get you, they're referring to the MCU talking about a version who won, when there already was a version.
thewanderer
thewanderer - 8/9/2024, 10:43 AM
@Conquistador - I think you need to read the article again.
Conquistador
Conquistador - 8/9/2024, 10:52 AM
@thewanderer - na I read it, but that take was already a variant even if he had won. Lol. But it's the headline.

@KennKathleen - I hope that last one is Anihhilus
KennKathleen
KennKathleen - 8/9/2024, 2:38 PM
@Nastybword - He should have his place. Bring in Nova, Silver Surfer, and possibly the Shi'Ar.
May even be a great reason to get the old killer-tree, terminata, bro-dude, raccoon, and green people back together.

I would. But I acknowledge that a lot of people like it.

Calling it now! Dr. Doom is killing kang, King thanos Variant, and Superior Iron Man Tom Cruise variant.

Looks cool, sad that it if shows up it will be only to be killed by the lame emperor doom.
RitoRevolto

Oh, he's definitely fodder for Ebil Stark.

Looks like crap.

Bah! Thanos variants, when we haven't even seen the proper Thanos yet.

IMO.

...and that beard... the problem is we now have to imagine younger Thanos standing in front of the mirror shaving, or that he hadn't passed puberty,
