The latest trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 featured a reference to one of Thanos’ devious past acts.
While the Mad Titan is no longer at large, his impact is still being felt throughout the MCU, and particularly with the Guardians.
After all, Gamora and Nebula were both raised by Thanos, and Peter Quill is still grieving the loss of his Gamora at Thanos’ hands.
While the Guardians of the Galaxy are set to confront a new antagonist in Vol. 3, marketing for the anticipated threequel proves that the Titan may be gone but not forgotten.
