who is thanos in avengers age of ultron?
warlock
bullet::::- josh brolin as thanos: an intergalactic warlord from titan who collected the six infinity stones to impose his will on all life in the universe. joe russo said that after thanos was successful in "avengers: infinity war", he is now "done. he did it. he's retired." markus and mcfeely had difficulty in factoring the older, post-"infinity war", thanos into the film due to the character already possessing the infinity stones, until executive producer trinh tran suggested that they kill thanos in the film's first act. markus explained that the character's early death "reinforced thanos’s agenda. he was done...it was like, 'if i’ve got to die, i can die now.'" thanos has less screen time in "endgame" than in "infinity war", where he was considered the main character, as explained by mcfeely: “we had to give ourselves permission to backseat the villain a little bit. i don't think anyone in the first half of the movie is going, 'oh i wish there was a villain'. you're rolling around in the loss and the time heist, and you think it's sort of avengers against nature." the younger version of thanos was nicknamed "warrior thanos" by the filmmakers. in addition to providing the voice for the character, brolin performed motion capture on set.
avengers: endgame
bullet::::- a heavily adapted depiction of arsenal appears in the "avengers assemble" animated series, voiced by jim meskimen. this version is a robot designed by howard stark to safely absorb and maintain massive amounts of energy. introduced in the episode "the arsenal", the robot is discovered by iron man in an abandoned russian city where his body has been used to contain a reactor's gamma radiation for decades until being reactivated with the power stone thanks to the hulk. in the episode "thanos rising", arsenal has a central role as he serves as iron man's friend and protector. he helps iron man and thor against the grim reaper. when the avengers fight against thanos, arsenal ultimately sacrifices himself by self-destructing in order to blow thanos far away from earth, fulfilling his primary function to protect iron man at all costs. with arsenal's head intact, the robot gets rebuild gradually (as seen with falcon's help in the episode "ghosts of the past" and where it makes hawkeye uncomfortable in the episode "back to the learning hall"). in the episode "thanos triumphant", arsenal's rebuilt/modified form absorbs all the infinity stones' energies, thus helping the avengers defeat thanos once again by separating the infinity gauntlet. however, ultron's ai takes over arsenal's body to absorb the infinity stones to be more powerful. with arsenal as ultron's vessel, iron man makes reckless mistakes against ultron (as seen in the episodes "crack in the system" and "avengers disassembled"). in the episode "the ultron outbreak", arsenal briefly regains control of ultron's host body to say goodbye to iron man. arsenal then sacrifices himself once again by flying into the sun, seemingly eliminating ultron in the process.
