Since making his full debut in Avengers: Infinity War, Josh Brolin's take on Thanos has become nothing short of a pop culture icon. According to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, the character worked so well because of Brolin's performance.

"The answer to why Thanos worked is Josh Brolin," Feige explained in Avengers: Endgame - The Official Movie Special. "The reason Thanos is now this iconic movie villain is because they understand where he was coming from is because of Josh Brolin. People put 'villain' in quotes when they're talking about Thanos."

He added, "We introduced Thanos for the first time at the end of the very first Avengers film. Joss Whedon wrote in the very end of his draft this little tag where a character turns around and smiles. We didn't say the name, but fans recognized that purple profile. That was the beginning of planting a flag saying, 'We could be going here; we could be building towards Thanos.' People who read the comic books knew that meant building towards The Infinity Gauntlet."

Thanos can be seen in Avengers: Infinity War, now streaming on Netflix, and Avengers: Endgame, which is streaming on Disney+.
