Marvel editor Stephen Wacker posted this on his Twitter account:

For those interested, plans have changed on Thanos. Nothing too dramatic, we just jumped the gun a big. Joe Keatinge and Rich Elson both have projects coming up in the Spidey office that we’ll be announcing soon. They’re bloody great!

I know cosmic fans, this might seem like a bit of a blow but at least we can still enjoy seeing the Mad Titan along with the Guardians of the Galaxy in Avengers Assemble.
