Avengers: Endgame’s Thanos has been named villain of the year at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

After you know, succeeding in collecting all six Infinity Stones and wiping out half of the universe’s population before being forced to return to Earth for an epic showdown that saw Earth’s mightiest heroes finally defeat the purple giant.

The Disney movie was the big winner at the annual awards ceremony, scooping three prizes including best movie and best hero for Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/ Iron Man.

Speaking about the hat-trick of wins, co-director Anthony Russo told MTV News: ‘It’s amazing. I mean, look, the MTV audience is so passionate, and to see the movie embraced, to see the movie celebrated, it’s a very special feeling.

‘There’s so many people who have worked so long, and so hard to bring this to the screen and do justice to the story, and it kinda feels like we might of.’

The best movie win comes after fellow Marvel movies Avengers (2012) and Black Panther (2018) won the award in 2013 and 2018 respectively.

But the popular HBO show’s stars Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams missed out on victories in their respected nominated categories, best performance in a show and best hero, with Emilia losing to Elisabeth Moss for The Handmaid’s Tale.

Accepting the accolade, Brie Miranda Bryant, an executive with Lifetime, told the audience: ‘Survivors walked through the fire and then stood again to tell this story.’

Noah Centineo took home two gongs on the night, scooping the breakthrough performance prize for his role as Peter Kavinsky in Netflix film To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
