When it was revealed that Thanos and Thor were going to be the most significant characters in Infinity War by the recent EW feature, some eyebrows were raised - at least in terms of Thor's role - but the former fits with Kevin Feige's statement from February 2017 that Thanos would be "the main character" of the movie.

And given that we've been primed on Thanos' motivations, which seem to suggest that his villainy is understandable (he's a product of tragedy, after all), it definitely seems that we're going to see more of Thanos than we have any other MCU villain so far. He will be complex and sympathetic in the same vein as Killmonger and Zemo (to a lesser extent), and that will be achieved by heavier focus on his journey towards Infinity War, including from before Titan's fall.

That will also manifest in flash-backs, like the sequence showing how he comes to "recruit" Gamora as one of his Children Of Thanos shown in this new trailer. By the look of it, she's taken by force, thanks to the assistence of the Chitauri.
