As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
One of the directors and brains behind Marvel's upcoming Avengers: Infinity War and it's sequel, Joe Russo sat down for an interview with SuperHeroHype yesterday and discussed the decisions around adding Thanos' Black order to the film.
"We get inspired by a lot of different material when we’re working on the movie. We pulled from both Infinity runs for this, and look, there are a scary bunch of characters who I happen to think, when I read the Infinity run, were super cool. And when I got the opportunity to make this movie, I said I have to do the Black Order. You know, we have so many characters and Thanos needs to be teased out. You can’t have the characters challenging him every step of the way. There has to be characters that they have to go through to get to him. The Black Order is the perfect cast of characters to do that with."
"It doesn’t give much away, for sure, because I remember watching it going, 'aw, it doesn’t tell people enough,'" said Hemsworth. "And then Joe [Russo] was like, you don’t need to tell them anything, they want anything... Like, ‘Does it explain the story?’ It’s like, 'it doesn’t need to.'"
