Early Concept Art From ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Reveals A Younger Thanos

Avengers: Infinity War artist Justin Sweet just posted a concept depicting a younger version of Thanos.

Sweet’s early version of Thanos shows him in the floating throne we saw briefly in Guardians Of The Galaxy while the Mad Titan was threatening Ronan The Accuser to bathe the starways in his blood. Also, he’s wearing what it seems to be an Egyptian tunic with a headpiece, bare chest, a kilt of sorts and golden boots. With this, he looks more like X-Men supervillain Apocalypse than a comics-accurate Thanos. Its worth mentioning that at this point in time, he didn’t seem to own the Infinity Gauntlet:

According to his website, Sweet has worked in several major productions including the Narnia films, Snow White and the Hunstman, Witch Hunter, Thor: The Dark World, Guardians of The Galaxy, Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol. 2, and Avengers: Infinity War. He’s also working on the upcoming Lion King and Avengers: Endgame.
