I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that Thanos is one of the most compelling and captivating villains comic book film has seen in recent memory and it no longer comes as a surprise how the Mad Titan has influenced mainstream media and all of pop culture as well. Take for example on the professional wrestling side of things, WWE superstar Roman Reigns has had Marvel fans thinking for months that he's the wrestling company's version of the villain, thanks to one particular gear he wears during his matches.



Ever since the WWE Universal champion changed up his look and started sporting a golden glove, a lot of people immediately compared him to Marvel's Mad Titan and they believe that Reigns' gear is a direct reference to the powerful Infinity Gauntlet that once helped Thanos succeed in his plans.



Turns out, it's just a mere coincidence and according to the cousin of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, he just wanted to wear something different to the ring. In an interview with Ryan Satin on Fox's Out of Character podcast (via ComicBook), the Hobbs & Shaw star finally debunked the theories and said: "Nah. After I did it I saw the obvious parallels and the comparisons kind of made sense, but I just wanted to change it up really."

Meanwhile, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally exploring the multiverse, there's a good chance that we'll see Thanos (or a "variant" of him, at least) back in the franchise and it wouldn't be shocking if Marvel Studios actually pulled the trigger and brought him back. If that actually happens, could you imagine a potential team-up between him and Phase Four's new big baddie Kang the Conqueror? I think that would be explosive.

Meanwhile, some of the films from the Infinity Saga are available for streaming on Disney+.
