As we reported earlier today, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn held a live commentary on Twitter for his 2014 movie. There were a number of big reveals from the filmmaker, including the role Josh Brolin's Thanos ended up playing during the classic team-up adventure.
As you might expect, Marvel Studios requested that the Mad Titan make an appearance to set the stage for his Avengers: Age of Ultron cameo, and also asked for an origin story for the Infinity Stones.
Guardians of the Galaxy marked Thanos's first proper appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after The Avengers' mid-credits scene, while the exposition about the Infinity Stones proved to be useful to Marvel Studios (and will most likely factor into next year's Eternals movie). However, Gunn admitted that including Thanos proved to be somewhat problematic, especially when it came to tying the iconic villain into the story arc of Ronan the Accuser.
It all worked out in the end, though, and the filmmaker delivered an undeniably awesome adventure.
