GAMORA: The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal.
To bring balance to the universe
by wiping out half of all life.
He kills people planet by planet,
massacre by massacre.
Tell me his name again.
Thanos.
Thanos has been lurking in the shadows of our universe
since Avengers one.
We see a glimpse of him in Guardians of the Galaxy.
I will bathe the star ways in your blood.
FEIGE: We see a tiny glimpse of him at the end of Age of Ultron.
He has had his hand
in every action that has occurred on a grand level in the MCU,
all surrounding his desire to obtain these Infinity Stones.
Someone has been playing an intricate game and has made pawns of us.
GAMORA: If he gets all the Infinity Stones,
he can wipe out half the universe
with the snap of his fingers.
Just like that.
The Stones are spread out throughout the franchises.
We're building every one of them into this epic, colossal event.
STARK: SO, this is it?
It's all been leading to this.
Josh Brolin is bringing a new iconic villain to life.
Thanos is a very complex character.
What he's doing, from his point of view, is a very positive thing.
He's basically an Eco-terrorist,
and he wants to eliminate 50% of the universe to save the other 50%.
We wanted to tell a story about a character
with a really complex and empathetic interior life.
And there's not a lot of actors that can give you both of those things.
D'ESPOSITO: Josh Brolin brings a reality to the character.
He's wearing that mocap suit, he's wearing motion capture cameras.
The performance is coming through,
not only in his gestures, in his face, but in his eyes.
VICTORIA ALONSO: There's about 2,900 visual effects shots in the movie.
We wanted to make it as photographic as possible.
And I think that that's the most important part.
(SCREAMING)
Oh, my God.
MANTIS: What happened?
GAMORA: Death follows him like a shadow.
That's who Thanos is.
You seem to know a great deal about Thanos.
Gamora is the daughter of Thanos.
Infinity War reveals this whole new world
that Nebula and Gamora have been running away from for years.
GAMORA: Nebula!
THANOS: Some time ago, your sister snuck aboard this ship to kill me.
So I brought her here.
To talk.
His relationship with Gamora, it's quite emotional.
(SCREAMING)
I ignored my destiny once.
I cannot do that again.
Even for you.
D'ESPOSITO: What makes Thanos so great is his conviction.
This is the only solution.
He's seen it firsthand on his planet.
THANOS: Titan was like most planets.
And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.
Genocide.
What I predicted came to pass.
Congratulations, you're a prophet.
I'm a survivor.
Tony knows just by the way that Bruce Banner describes Thanos,
it's a different game now.
BANNER: He sent Loki.
The attack on New York, that's him.
He has the biggest army in the universe, and he is not gonna stop.
Just his sheer force is something
that none of the Avengers has ever encountered before.
Thanos has been inside my head for six years.
So I say we take the fight to him.
JOE: Heroes are only as good as their villain,
but if the Avengers were built for anything,
it's for stopping Thanos from completing his goal.
THANOS: Fun really isn't something one considers when balancing the universe,
but this does put a smile on my face.
Oh, man.
(GRUNTS)
Thanos is the greatest villain
in the history of Marvel Cinematic Universe.
(SCREAMS)
The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
I think you'll find our will equal to yours.
(SCREAMS)
Imagine if our heroes all lost.
You should have gone for the head.
No!
The Marvel Cinematic Universe will never be the same.
Oh, God.
He did it.
What did it cost?
Everything.
