During an interview with Guardians of the Galaxy versus what Marvel dictated. "We talked early on about having Thanos in the movie, which, believe me I was excited to have Thanos in the movie because a) I love Thanos and b) I want people who have seen The Avengers to go see this because we're connected to it," he said.
