"Joss Whedon has described Thanos as The Avengers&amp;#039; &amp;quot;big finale&amp;quot;. The director sparked speculation that the Mad Titan - glimpsed at the end of last year&amp;#039;s superhero movie - may not be defeated until the end of The Avengers 3, the final chapter of Marvel&amp;#039;s Phase Three.   When asked why the Avengers should be worried about Thanos, Whedon told DesdeHollywood: &amp;quot;Well, Thanos is more powerful. He&amp;#039;s so powerful he&amp;#039;s not someone you just trot out and then you punch him. &amp;quot;Like he did in the comics, you want him to be threading through the universe and to save the big finale for the big finale. He is definitely a part of what I&amp;#039;ve got going on.&amp;quot; Thanos creator Jim Starlin confirmed last year that a deal is in place for his character to appear in both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2.      Whedon went on to tease the impact that new characters may have in The Avengers 2. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;The thing about the Avengers is that they are very powerful, but they&amp;#039;re not very stable,&amp;quot; he noted. &amp;quot;So there will definitely be some people that will shake them up in the next instalment.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; He recently revealed that the sequel will include a brother-sister duo from the comics.
