Thanks to Christopher Markus, the co-writer of Avengers: Endgame, we now have confirmation that Thanos’ blade is stronger than vibranium.
Those familiar with the MCU know that the strongest metal on earth is vibranium, a material we have learned is near indestructible and perfect for Captain American’s shield. However, in Endgame, the shield was broken by the massive blade wielded by Thanos.
We now have confirmation that whatever that blade was made from is indeed stronger than vibranium. Speaking on the film’s directors’ commentary (via ComicBook.com), co-writer Christopher Markus said: “You can also see that while Vibranium is the strongest substance on Earth, whatever Thanos’ straight razor there is made out of is stronger.”
“Well, Thanos clearly knew of Eitri,” added director Joe Russo.
“That’s true, he’d have him make him a helicopter blade,” co-writer Stephen McFeely said.
Of course, fans are all expecting the introduction of adamantium now that Wolverine is set to join the MCU, as this is the metal from which his claws are made. Could this be what Thanos’ blade is made from? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter @flickeringmyth…
