10 Awesome Moments Of Foreshadowing In Marvel Movies

With such an ardent fanbase as they have, ready to pore over every scene with a fine toothcomb, Marvel loves to tease future plotlines and characters within their movies. These are often featured in the post-credits stingers - Thanos picking up his Infinity Gauntlet at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron being a pretty obvious one. However, there are a lot of much subtler ones out there, too.

Thanos Avengers

As we’ve already noted, Thanos is the king of foreshadowing, regularly turning up to remind us that he is the oncoming Big Bad. Most of his appearances set up his lust for the Infinity Stones, but one of them foreshadows a different kind of lust…

At the end of The Avengers, Thanos’ mysterious lackey the Other warns his master that to challenge humanity is to “court death.” This is a reference – and a damn clever play on words – to the fact that the Mad Titan is in love with the personification of Death in the comics. His attempt to take over the universe is a bid to impress her. A bunch of flowers wouldn’t cut it, I guess.

While this could just be a nod to the comics rather than foreshadowing, it is thought that Cate Blanchett’s character in Thor: Ragnarok will be Hela, the Goddess of Death. Presumably, then, she will turn out to be the object of Thanos’ affections.

Lucky woman, right?
