We were teased with the reveal of four mysterious statues at the D23 Expo last week by Marvel. Now we know who the statues are – and it couldn’t be any more exciting.
It turns out the statues represent the Black Order, otherwise known as the children of Thanos. Now announced to appear in Avengers: Infinity War, the four children’s names are Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, and Black Dwarf. Although it’s also been reported that Black Dwarf may have been renamed Cull Obsidian.
It’s definitely fun getting to see these characters adapted from their comic counterparts. They almost look like they were lifted off the pages, and no doubt some fabulous actors have been chosen for the roles. It’s only a matter of time before names start getting announced.

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters May 4, 2018.
