THE AVENGERS Concept Art Reveals A Closer Look At Marvel Studios' Original Design For The Mad Titan

When Thanos made his first appearance in the MCU way back in 2012's The Avengers, he was played by Damion Poitier and brought to life with practical effects rather than VFX. By the time he returned in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Studios had cast Josh Brolin as the iconic comic book villain and the rest, as they say, is history!

Now, thanks to Ironhead Studios' Jose Fernandez, we have some concept art revealing some original designs for the Mad Titan, and they're definitely very different to Brolin's version. 

The fan-favourite bad guy certainly looks pretty formidable here but, as you can see in the banner image above, that didn't translate to real-life particularly well. However, had a CGI version of this Thanos made it to the big screen, it's hard to imagine too many comic book fans would have complained.

Even though I though thanos looked very realistic in IW, that extra touch of the multi-tone skin in his wrinkles would have knocked it out of the park

Less Josh Brolin-like and more evil gorilla-like.

Everyone should check out Jose's instagram if you're interested in movie props and costumes. Him and his studio have done it all from the original Tim Burton Batsuit to Black Manta's in Aquaman.
They've done an amazing job with these sci-fi / comicbook properties.

Looks like the GotG Thanos with the skintone of IW/EG Thanos. And Thanos with a human size build looks really weird
