After playing as the main villain for over 23 movies in the Infinity Saga, it looks like Marvel Studios may have plans for the Mad Titan in upcoming movies. Being dead twice a new rumor says that we will be able to see Thanos again in the future.
Being introduced in 2012's The Avengers movie, Thanos has played minor roles as villain in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Age of Ultron before taking the main role in Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame. During this journey, Thanos has died not once, but twice which seemingly closes the door of his return in upcoming movies.
But a new rumor from Jeremy Conrad from MCU Cosmic that there are plans for Thanos to return in not so distant future. There are no reveals of the storyline or when will this occur, but we may definitely face Thanos yet again in MCU.
In Avengers Endgame, we see Thor going for the head of Thanos at the very beginning of the movie. This proves that Thanos from the main timeline or the present timeline is officially dead. But later on, we saw Thanos from 2014 coming to the main timeline through time-travel (thanks to 2014 Nebula) and creating havoc among the Avengers Headquarters. But we also see the 2014 Thanos get dusted away as Ironman snaps gathering all infinity stones from the past. So, this means 2014 Thanos is now dusted but NOT dead.
There are many villains in the MCU who might seek for the infinity stones (e.g. Red Skull) yrt again and bring back 2014 Thanos just like Hulk's snap brought back every other dusted away people in the same movie. In this way, Thanos may return back to this timeline and get his revenge.
There are also theories which say Young Thanos might come up in the Eternals movie. On the other hand, Doctor Strange 2 will deal with multiverse, which also leads to infinite possibilities of the return of Thanos. Multiverse will lead to Thanos of different universe who also seek to gather infinity stones. Among those infinite possibilities, a Thanos might make his appearance in MCU through the Doctor Strange sequel.
So, Thanos returning to MCU makes quite a good sense as MCU is slowly going towards the Multiverse level. And as Thanos is the biggest villain of MCU till now, his return will truely be amazing and worth a watch.
