Avengers: Infinity War - Predicting The Fate Of Every Avenger

Drax may very well end up being the most important character in Infinity War, due to his thirst for revenge against Thanos.

After initially vowing to kill Ronan The Accuser - the man who murdered his family - Drax later set his sights on Thanos, after learning that he was the real culprit, the one who Ronan worked for.

So with Drax hungry to avenge the deaths of his wife and daughter (and the drive and determination that will give him) he could be the one to throw a spanner in Thanos' plans.

What Will Happen To Him? The big question is whether or not Marvel will want Drax to have his revenge.

And, all things considered, it seems like they will. Why else would they bring up Drax's daughter and wife, set up the conflict with Ronan, stage a fight scene with Drax and Ronan, then later establish that Thanos is the guy Drax really wants to kill?

Marvel has been building this up since 2014, and it wouldn't make any sense for them to just throw it all away.

Drax will give Thanos a run for his money, and while he won't kill him in Infinity War (Marvel also wouldn't build toward Thanos for six years and then just off him), Thanos will receive a huge blow at Drax's hands - whether that's a physical injury, loss of one of the Infinity Stones, loss of the Infinity Gauntlet, or the murder of Thanos' most loyal follower in The Black Order.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
