Are you ready for a rumor about a rumor? At the end of The Avengers (spoilers), like at the very end of the movie when the credits are rolling, a small scene is played showing the face of The Mad Titan Thanos. The scene has led many to believe that Thanos will be a main character in The Avengers 2 and over the weekend we got the first bit of casting news. Arnold Schwarzenegger will play Thanos.
Well, that’s if creator Jim Starlin gets his way.
Starlin, who created Thanos, answered some questions about the character and the new Defenders of the Galaxy movie over the weekend at Dragon-Con.
“I think it’s pretty cool, actually (that Thanos appeared in The Avengers). I will be curious to see more of Thanos. We only saw that head-and-shoulder shot. The little filigree they added to the armor was kind of nice. I can’t wait to see the whole guy and hear him speak.”
So who will lend their voice to Thanos? According to Comic Book Resources, Thanos was played during the brief scene at the end of The Avengers by Damion Poitier. But since The Avengers is a big budget movie with big name stars, it’s likely that an actor with a little more star power will play Thanos in the sequel.
And that actor could be Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Starlin said:
“I had thought about Idris Elba, who is an English actor I always thought about. He is already appearing as Heimdall. There were rumors going around that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be tapped for it, which at first I thought was a bad idea but then I caught him in the news since his post-cancer treatment and he has Thanos’ voice. He has this real gravelly voice and he would probably work well. Couldn’t think of anybody else I’d throw out off the top of my head.”
What do you think about Arnie playing Thanos?
Here’s a look at what happened the last time Schwarzenegger played a comic book character.
The Avengers is a big budget and very sucessful movie and I would love to see more. But if Arnold Schwarzenegger got involved it would become an comical flop movie, just look at his performance in Batman ( Mr. Freeze).. a joke. There are more muscle men avaliable and willing to make a name for themself as a Grand Villian.
If Arnold is in it I won't see it…He pardoned his political hack buddy's gang banger kid when he murdered an innocent college student. Boycott Arnold forever!
arnold schwarznegger is a going to b thanos! that is totally awesome. I totally going 2 c marvel's avenger part 2. #ya feel me!
It was my understanding that the guy who played it in the movie was going to do it. I don't remember the guy's name, but he is credited in the movie as "man no. 1"
Hell no.
He didn't pardon him he reduced his serving from 16 years to 7 years. Also this kid did indeed stab the other person, it was his friend that stabbed that person in the heart killing him. I do not condone any stabbing or killing and jail time is correct for both, yet you stabbing someone should be jail time served even though you died from an affiliates hands at the same time this incident was taking place. Which is what this kid is serving right now. Reducing it is BS…but at least it isn't a pardon which you led on in your post.

Don't be Thanos Arnold….PLEASE. Arnold is way past his prime. His roles are better suited for real gritty movies like his latest film which takes place along the border of mexico. There's alot of talent out there….being lazy and picking arnold would just be simply wrong altogether. Putting a Super-Cosmic-Villian together like Thanos…deserves alot more attention everything from the look to the voice. I like the Avengers btw…it was a good big movie prod… : )

you guys are forgetting he doesn't look like that anymore. and by the time the next movie comes out there is no way he could build that much muscle.

" Pardon" was the term used by many in the media to describe Arnold's actions. Call it a sentence reduction or commutation- it's all the same thing, a despicable act by an imoral corrupt politician.
Here's what some of the people who were impacted by Arnold's sleazy last minute deal had to say:
San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith Monday issued a statement on Schwarzenegger's commutation of Nunez's sentence.
"Esteban Nunez — the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez — is a criminal who was sentenced by an experienced and well-respected Superior Court judge," Goldsmith said. "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reduced the sentence by over half to help his political crony's son. In doing so, he undermined the judicial system and has jeopardized public safety.
"This homicide occurred in the city of San Diego," Goldsmith said. "I speak for the overwhelming majority of San Diegans in stating that we are appalled and angry over Mr. Schwarzenegger's conduct. It reflects poorly on him, personally, and on his legacy as governor."
San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, whose office prosecuted the case against Nunez and his co-defendants, also lashed out at the governor Monday.
"We were shocked to hear of the Governor's last-minute commutation, which greatly diminishes justice for victim Luis Santos and re-victimizes his family and friends," Dumanis said. "The District Attorney's Office was not consulted and the decision comes as the appeals process was continuing."
The victim's father, Fred Santos, told reporters that he and his wife, Kathy, were "totally outraged" by the commutation, which he said smelled of "dirty politicking."
"We're just numb and we're angry at the same time," said Fred Santos. "This is gross injustice."
Kathy Santos said, "I'm very disturbed. I cannot believe that he did such a sneaky thing on his last day in office
Joel Schumacher turned that whole series into a joke. While I have my doubts about him playing Thanos, I think he fit right in as Mr. Freeze with all the other horrors of that movie.
This is the only person I think deserves the right to voice Thanos.

I think Thanos would sound stupid with that accent. It'd be too comical. I love Ahnold, but not for that. lol
