Bradley Cooper seemed to suggest that Thanos was going to be the main villain in the highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy sequel but this has now been denied by Feige.
While Feige did not say when we will next see Thanos - it is most likely to be Avengers: Infinity War - he reveals he 'won't be messing about when we see him.'
Speaking to Empire, Feige said: "I wouldn't look too hard in that movie for Thanos."
"The next time we see Thanos he will not be messing around. It will be, 'Oh, that's why they've been teasing this villain for five years!'"
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 won't hit the big screen until 2017 but will see James Gunn back on writing and directing duties. Filming is set to get underway this year and is already one of the Marvel films that I cannot wait to see.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is the first of three Marvel films to hit the big screen in 2017 and will be followed by Spider-Man and Thor: Ragnarok.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Dave Bautista are all set to return, while Kurt Russell has been linked to a major role in the film.
Phase 3 of Marvel films is set to kick off this year with Captain America: Civil War before we are introduced to Doctor Strange for the first time in the autumn.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is released 28th April 2017.
