Avengers' Thanos Looks Very Different in This Early Concept Design
With Black Panther winning Best Production and Costume Design at the 2019 Oscars on Sunday (February 24), interest in the MCU's work behind-the-scenes has never been higher.
So it's the perfect time for us to look at some seriously early Thanos designs from the Avengers: Infinity War team. Uploaded to Instagram by Marvel Studio artist Jerad Marantz, the early Thanos costume seems an odd choice given what he ended up in-an outfit more equipped to Black Panther certainly, as it's very reminiscent of T'Challa's superhero suit.
That said, it's more likely to have been a nod to the Black Order, which Thanos chaired alongside his seriously creepy pals in Infinity War.

The concept design is miles away from the purple and gold-plated armour Thanos is seen wearing in the finished movie. The Infinity Gauntlet itself also had a sleeker, darker look than the gold version we now know and love/have nightmares about.
As for Avengers: Endgame, while Thanos may not be sporting a new look for the movie, the same can't be said for some of our other favorite Marvel figures. Yes, we're looking at you, Black Widow's hair.
