Darth Vader and Thanos are two very strong and powerful villains, but who would win in a fight? We will of course never know because they are not real, but it’s a fun thing to think about. Hayden Christensen, who played Vader in the Star Wars series, is thinking about this as well. Speaking to GQ, Christensen was asked to weigh in on who he thought would come out on top–his answer isn’t surprising.
Christensen sided with Vader claiming victory over Thanos, assuming that the duel has Vader using his lightsaber and Thanos wielding the Infinity Stones as opposed to some kind of direct hand-to-hand combat. As Christensen sees it, no one can defeat Vader.
“Obviously Vader, right? Definitely Vader. Vader beats everybody. Always,” Christensen said.
Thanos is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, while Vader is one of the supreme baddies of the Star Wars world, so it would indeed be a fight for the ages. Alas, unless MTV brings back Celebrity Deathmatch, we may never know would win in a fight.
Also in the interview, Christensen teased that it would be “a lot of fun” to come back to play Vader again in Ahsoka Season 2, though he didn’t confirm anything outright. The full interview is full of fascinating stories and insights about Christensen and the Star Wars series, so go check it out here.
In other news, Christensen recently talked about his favorite video games of all time.
