Marvel Studios’Eternalshad some loose connections to Thanos, but fans didn’t get to dive into the Mad Titan’s origin story as much as some had wished. However, a talented artist has imagined what it would look like if Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgard was cast as a young Thanos inEternals2.
As mentioned, Skarsgård isn’t above playing a villainous role because the actor did a phenomenal job as the Pennywise clown fromthe recently rebootedITmovie series. Pennywise is known for being a very popular villain and is considered to be one of the scariest clowns in existence, so that may be why this digital artist felt Skarsgard would be perfect to play Thanos in anEternalssequel.

Since he did a good job as Pennywise the clown, it’s no surprise that fans want to see Skarsgard take on another pop culture antagonist. The fan photo comes from a user by the name ofM.Design34, who posts artwork on Instagram for Marvel movies and characters that audiences are familiar with. The fan-made image of Thanos features the young Mad Titan in his signature gold armor, but this time he bears more of a resemblance to Skarsgard than Josh Brolin. The artist’s page also includes fan-made images of Spider-Man,the Skrulls fromCaptain Marvel,as well as Jamie Foxx’s Electro, and even a take on Nova from the Marvel comic books.
Eternalshas been released for almost four weeks at this point and as of now, it’s unlikely that the film will receive a sequel. In the event that they do make a second part, fans would definitely like tosee more of Thanos. He was a devastating aspect of the original three phases of the MCU movies and indirectly caused many of the issues in those films. Hopefully, the next big villain for Phase 4 will be able to surpass the Mad Titan.
Fans are often looking to see who will come next. Many are thinkingGalactus will be MCU’s next main villain, while others look at Kang the Conquerer or Doctor Doom as the impending threat for Phase 4 or 5.
Whoever Marvel decides on, fans should know that the recentEternalsfilm set up a lot of pieces that can shake up the MCU as they know it. Fans will have to wait and see what happens before making any decisions.
