MTV got lucky in their interview with Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige because he started to talk in detail about 'that purple guy' or Thanos as he likes to be called. Fiege reitterated that they definitely have a plan in place for the Mad Titan.
"Clearly, there's a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him," said Feige. "I wouldn't say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what's right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three."
Feige wouldn't spill the beans, however, on whether Thanos will appear in both The Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy, though many speculate that is the case.

Who is Thanos?
Thanos was born on Saturn's moon Titan, a world believed uninhabited but actually the home to an advanced offshoot of humanity. Thanos was dissatisfied by the peaceful world, and left to begin his mission of conquest. In his travels, he met the entity known as Death and became enamored with her. He soon devoted all of his energies to pleasing her, and eventually became her servant. Desiring to be her equal, he sought the Infinity Gems, six stones of great power that would give him control over the universe.
When he finally obtained the six gems and placed them on his Infinity Gauntlet, he gained unlimited power. To impress Death, he extinguished half the lives in the universe, and it took the combined might of many superheroes to finally stop him. He was divested of the Gauntlet, and placed on an uninhabited planet where he could cause no harm. He had since escaped, and it is only a matter of time before he menaces the universe in Death's name once again.
