DC Has Officially Confirmed Its Answer To Thanos & Nobody Could Have Predicted It

Summary

• Darkseid was initially expected as DC's answer to Thanos.
• Another DC character is set to appear in three 2024 TV series and a future solo series, making them DC's recurring villain.
• The DC villain's complexity and ability to control other characters makes them the perfect villain for team projects.

With new releases, DC has made its answer to Thanos in movies and series clear, but it was not the expected one. Josh Brolin played Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like he has in the comics, Brolin's version of the Mad Titan played a major role in the MCU, serving as the ultimate villain of the Infinity Saga and two Avengers movies. 2019's Avengers: Endgame saw Thanos be snapped from existence by Iron Man, ending his threat. With James Gunn's DC Universe starting soon, future DC movies and series could use an overarching villain like Thanos.
DC even has the perfect character to do so, as Darkseid could seamlessly fit that role. The villain only appeared in the DCEU in Zack Snyder's Justice League, barely having a presence in live-action DC adaptations over the years. Given the character's similarities to Thanos, which are no surprise, as Thanos was clearly inspired by Darkseid in part, it would make sense for him to be DC's answer to Thanos for the DCU's slate of projects and other adaptations. However, 2024 has cemented with multiple projects, and future ones to come, that DC's answer to Thanos is another character.
