@Nassirdada yeah upon further research that I have done it seems more likely that they will do the War of Kings story only because Thanos appears only near the end and is imprisoned. and as I mentioned earlier Marvel probably has it planned out to where Loki gets him the Infinity Gauntlet since its in Odin's Treasure Room (even though Thor the Dark World deals with the Malekith Story) probably as a post credits scene. and then do the War of Kings in Guardians and have Thanos get "Imprisoned" at the end of Guardians since thats what happens in the War of Kings story and then for a post credits scene show him escape somehow and head towards earth for Avengers 2.

thats just what I am thinking I could be totally wrong but at least it would make sense to do it that way (and still save all the mystery and surprise of the mostly unknown Thanos for Avengers 2.) since at the end of Avengers he doesnt have the Infinity Gauntlet from what I can see so he would have to get it somehow from Odins Treasure Room Loki would be the best bet as he has connections to him in at least this universe. then the Guardians imprison him in the Knowhere in there movie (probably) then a post credits scene happens where he escapes and goes to be in Avengers 2 as the main villian (and maybe we will get to see some tension from Gamora in Guardians since Thanos is her foster father.)

either way that would just make the most sense to me. let me know what you think. like I said I think that would make the most sense to do at least in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the War of Kings is kinda sorta an "Origin" story of the Guardians so it would work.
