Thanos creator Jim Starlin reveals the Avengers story you didn't see. In an interview with Inverse , Starlin explains why he was convinced Infinity War would end up like Justice League and reveals the Thanos story that got cut. You can thank Jim Starlin for mastering up one of the greatest supervillains of all time. The legendary comic artist behind Thanos joins Inverse Social Hour to discuss the surreal experience of seeing his creation unfold — and subsequently rocket to fame — onscreen in the Avengers films. But not before diving into his latest work, Dreadstar Returns! , the all-new adventure story that picks up where Dreadstar last left off three decades ago. And despite how it may seem, Starlin says Dreadstar 's fitting alignment to the current times happened completely by accident. “As turmoil mounts, [Vanth Dreadstar] becomes more relevant. He stands out right now as something that a lot of folks can identify with,” he tells Inverse . Below are the Inverse Social Hour highlights, but be sure to throw back a shot of tequila Starlin style and check out the video above for the full interview. 0:26 Why Dreadstar is more relevant now than it was in the 1980s. “It seems like this was planned afterwards,” he tells host Jake Kleinman, “and it wasn’t.” 1:57 Why Starlin decided to bring back the character of Vanth Dreadstar. 2:20 Why he has inker Jaime Jameson to thank for getting back into drawing after he thought he’d never be able to sketch again. “By going through the 500 pages, I was conditioning the hand to do this again without realizing,” he explained. 4:00 What it was like to see Thanos become the most famous super villain of all time. 4:58 The stuff Starlin says never made it into the films. 5:35 Why he was terrified Infinity War would end up like Justice League. “Oh my god, this is gonna be the same movie,” he thought, “except it’s gonna be Thanos.” 7:35 Starlin makes a toast to “all the giants whose shoulders I crawled up upon to get a career out of this crazy comic book business.” 8:20 The “most interesting” British crime show he’d love to see make a comeback. (Spoiler alert: An American reboot is indeed in the works.) 10:13 The one movie he wishes he had written. 10:55 The Batman movies he enjoys tremendously for their “tongue-in-cheek” humor. 12:25 What Starlin thinks will happen next for Thanos. “I imagine that you’ll see more of Thanos along the way,” he said. “I’d be very surprised if you didn’t.” 13:25 Thanos for president. 13:59 The book-to-movie he’d recommend for a “great little story.” 15:23 The advice Starlin has for aspiring comic book writers: “Learn all the rules, master the rules, and then break them.” 16:20 The life-changing experience he had at 16 years old.

Jim Starlin doesn’t start fights, but he doesn’t walk away from them either. “A certain politician using a character of mine in one of his political ads may have riled me a bit,” Starlin tells Inverse . “I figured he was open game at that point.” The politician Starlin is referring to is Donald Trump. The political ad was a video shared on Trump’s Twitter in 2019 in which the former president’s face was superimposed onto Marvel supervillain Thanos’ body during the final moments of Avengers: Endgame . We all know what happened next, both in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 2020 presidential election. For Starlin, who created Thanos and other Marvel characters including Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Shang-Chi (he also wrote the Infinity Gauntlet comics that inspired Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame ), that was the last straw. He channeled his rage into a new character who should seem familiar to pretty much anyone who picks up a copy of Starlin’s latest comic book, Dreadstar Returns . The result is a Plunddo Tram, an anagram of Donald Trump and an evil alien king who shows up in the first pages of Deadstar Returns . The similarities between the two are obvious, and Starlin isn’t trying to be subtle. You might say subtlety went out the window after Trump tweeted a video of his face on Thanos’ body moments before the supervillain is defeated and turned to dust in Avengers: Endgame . “He didn't see that it was the moment of the character’s loss he was plagiarizing or stealing or satirizing,” Starlin says, laughing. “He obviously didn't see Avengers: Endgame, ” adds Jaime Jameson, who partnered with Starlin to provide the inking on Dreadstar Returns . Starlin and Jameson’s new comic, which picks up the adventures Vanth Dreadstar — a spacefaring warrior and the last survivor of the Milky Way galaxy who Starlin created in the 1980s — opens with an unmistakable political parody, but Trump/Tram isn’t the focus of this story. “It starts off with Plunddo and it veers into a cosmic unrequited love story,” Starlin says. “That's what the main story is. Plunddo is a is sort of an amusing diversion at the beginning.” Thankfully, before the story moves on, Plunddo meets his end in the most fitting way possible. Coming in at 100 pages, the first volume of Dreadstar Returns , available now from Ominous Press, is just the beginning of an epic new adventure. Starlin and Jameson are currently hard at work on a second volume, with plans for a total of five. “I'm 60 pages into the next one,” Starlin says. “So we're working on it. And I have a very tight plot in my head for the third one and nebulous ideas for the fourth and fifth one. For what I have planned in the next two, we need two more after that.” Beyond the comics, Starlin and Jameson are also looking into live-action possibilities for Dreadstar. Given their current ambitions, a single film is too small to cover this story. “I've given up on the movie idea,” Starlin says. “It's just too big of a story to fit.” “I keep saying it's a TV series,” Jameson interjects. “Like HBO Max and Netflix have all these great streaming shows I could see it doing that.” For now, nothing is official, though Starlin says he’s “talking to folks” about adapting Dreadstar Returns in one form or another. But for now, he’s got nothing official to report. “These things go slowly,” he says. “And if they happen, they happen. And if they don't, they don't. So until the check is signed, the contracts are signed, and they're into production, there's nothing to say. Up until then. It's all speculation and wishful thinking.” Hopefully, it works out though, if only because I really want to see Plunddo Tram’s head impaled on a stick in live-action. Dreadstar Returns is available now to purchase from Ominous Press. Thanos Annual #1 - Damnation and Redemption. Jim Starlin and Ron Lim return to show us the past and future of Thanos. The Good. It's hard to believe we have a new Thanos comic by Jim Starlin and Ron Lim. These are the two that define the galactic corner of the Marvel Universe for me. This comic was like a blast from the past. Not only did they give us THE INFINITY GAUNTLET, WAR, and CRUSADE but also stellar stories in SILVER SURFER and more. The big question is, how could there be a Thanos story considering what happened to him during INFINITY? That is explained clearly on the very first page. Starlin does a great job returning to the character and showing us who is is--or who he was. For newer readers, this is a spectacular refresher and gives a nice recap of Thanos' shenanigans throughout the Marvel Universe. It's always been a fear of mine that, as time goes by, some events are forgotten or overlooked. Seeing mention of these stories I loved so much was a joy. The approach and angle for the story is pretty brilliant. I love how we can have some flashback moments but still be relevant to what's going on now and teases what's to come. Yes, I've become even more excited about the upcoming THANOS INFINITY REVELATION OGN. I can't get enough of Ron Lim's art. I felt like I was reading one of the classic Marvel cosmic stories. Hopefully this leads to more Lim art in our future. The Bad. What it comes down to is, this story serves more as a refresher for those that might not have read Thanos' past exploits. How much does it add to his current status? That may remain to be seen. This does offer a set up for the OGN. That makes it feel a little like it was just released to get people interested and informed about the OGN. That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially since this is still an interesting read with great art. The Verdict. What's going on with Thanos these days? Despite currently being in a sticky situation, we get to visit Thanos' past and get a glimpse at his future, courtesy of Jim Starlin and Ron Lim. These two have delivered so many great cosmic Marvel stories. Having them back here is such a treat. Some of the annual does feel as if it's mainly setting up the upcoming Thanos OGN. That's not necessarily a bad thing since Starlin and Lim do a great job digging into who Thanos is and was (and will be). If you dig Thanos, Starlin, or Lim, there is no question whether or not you should pick this up.
