Thanos has been the biggest, baddest supervillain in the MCU so far and while he has been portrayed as the destroyer of civilizations and the master of destruction, he isn’t really the tallest of them all. There are discrepancies when it comes to the height of the Mad Titan. While his awkward being has been recorded to be 6’7” tall in the comics, for the MCU the makers gifted him more inches. In the films, Josh Brolin’s Thanos is a giant, standing at 8'3". Clearly, the makers wanted Thanos' screen version to be intimidating when compared to other celestial beings.

Thanos by far is the only evil guy who had a massive effect on the beloved Avengers. After the infamous Snap, Thanos turned out to be unbeatable.
