The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is known for bringing back some of its iconic characters from the dead on a regular basis. Next up, Thanos could soon make his comeback in the MCU.
Towards a return of this cult character?
We know that the Marvel universe loves bring some of its characters back from the dead. This has already happened several times. For example, after Black Widow died in Avengers : Endgameshe returns in her own film in 2021. Years after her death in Captain America : First AvengersRed Skull makes two appearances in the final two Avengers. Another example, and not the least, the return of Gamora in Avengers : Endgame.
All this to say, comebacks are commonplace in the MCU. Now it is rumored that Thanos is about to return in Avengers : Secret Wars. Indeed, Josh Brolin would be about to return in the shoes of the Mad Titan.
Avengers – Secret Wars : the film of all madness
Indeed, MTTSH claims that Josh Brolin is currently in talks with Marvel Studios to take over the role of Thanos. Without further details, the American scooper is convinced that the Mad Titan will make a comeback in Avengers : Secret Wars. Even if Marvel has not confirmed (or denied) the information, there is a good chance that this hypothesis is true. Avengers : Secret Wars will be the film of all pranks. Indeed, if the brothers' film Russo follows the comic book from which it is inspired, the feature film will immerse spectators in an unprecedented multiversal story, which should bring back all the MCU characters. This is the perfect opportunity to present variants of our cult characters and to revive iconic characters, a bit like in the comics of Jonathan Hickmanreleased in 2015.
In any case, in addition to fatal Thanos should also be there. In Secret Warsthe Mad Titan opposes Doom and tries to overthrow his hegemony, without success. He is killed by Fatalis without further ado and in a particularly violent manner. It remains to be seen whether the Russo brothers' film will have the same fate in store for it. Avengers : Doomsday is expected on 29 avril 2026 in dark rooms and Avengers : Secret Wars will be released on May 5, 2027 at the cinema.
