Thanos is prepared to clash with the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, so we’re sure that some of his most fearsome generals will accompany him on the battlefield. Several leaked on-set pics confirm that those generals are the Black Order, also known as the Cull Obsidian. They include formidable warriors Black Dwarf, Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, and Supergiant.
In the images, we can identify Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive as the former battles Doctor Strange and the latter appears to be in a setting that may be Asgardian.
The D23 Expo officially revealed the Black Order, although one team member, Supergiant, is missing. There’s also a character named Cull Obsidian who bears a strong resemblance to Black Dwarf (a hint of some sort?).
Check out the pics below, via Comic Book Movie (we really dig Ebony Maw):
There’s more! As rumored some time ago, in order to give the Black Order a bit of a backstory, these villains are actually the Mad Titan's children, which makes them Gamora and Nebula’s siblings. We assume that they’ve been through similar trials as their sisters, but they differ in that they’re actually evil to the core and continue to serve Thanos.
We’re anxious to see the Avengers: Infinity War footage screened at the D23 Expo"¦Maybe it will be released online during San Diego Comic Con. But for now, another video has made its way online, so meet almost all of the movie’s heroes, plus Thanos, on the D23 Expo stage!
