Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War," reveal the most frightening, and challenging, aspect of Josh Brolin's villain Thanos.

In an interview with Newsweek, "Avengers: Infinity War" directors Joe and Anthony Russo reveal "the most frightening thing" about villain Thanos.
They call him "understandable" and say that the audience might find themselves empathizing with him.
This calls to mind the "Black Panther" villain, Killmonger, who was praised for being a figure who made a strong argument — #KillmongerWasRight even trended on Twitter after the film's release.

The villain Thanos may want to destroy half the universe in Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War," but according to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, he's sympathetic — and that's the most frightening thing of all.

When the movie hits theaters next week, audiences will get their best look yet at Thanos, played by Josh Brolin, whose battle against the Avengers has been teased and built up for the past 10 years of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.

In an interview with Newsweek, the Russo brothers revealed "the most frightening thing about Thanos" is that he might actually have good reasons for his evil deeds.
