Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon admits he didn’t “really understand” Thanos.

According to comicbook.com, the director loves the character but didn't know what he would do with it.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Whedon said that he was happy with what the Russo Brothers did.


He’s had a lot of power, and he was cool in the comics. And I’m like, ‘Thanos is the ultimate Marvel villain!’ And then I was like, ‘I don’t actually know what I would do with Thanos.’ So, I liked what [Avengers: Infinity War directors Anthony and Joe Russo] did so much, and I thought Josh Brolin killed it. And they did an amazing job of keeping that performance on-screen.
