Thanos and Thor are the two characters that have the most screen time in Avengers: Infinity War. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: Civil War), and based on a script from screenwriting duo Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (Civil War), the highly-anticipated third Avengers film comes on the heels of a record-breaking box office run by Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. And it takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe to new heights by culminating the past 10 years worth of storytelling within the MCU.

The upcoming film marks the beginning of the end of the MCU’s first saga that launched with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man way back in 2008, and it’s something that will have lasting consequences on the overarching shared universe going forward. In the movie, the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes unite with the Guardians of the Galaxy as the universe’s last stand against the Mad Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his Black Order, who are attempting to collect all six Infinity Stones. By doing so, Thanos will potentially wipe out half the universe with the snap of his fingers. But there’s a lot more going on in the film than just Thanos and his minions seeking out the Stones. After all, not many people know who Thanos really is (aside from comic book readers).
