Google has released several easter eggs through out the years to conmmemorate or celebrate different events.

In this particular case Google is celebrating the 2019 release of "Avengers Endgame".

When you search for "Thanos" who is the villain in Avengers, you will get all the relevant results including a bio card. This bio card, has an illustration of Thanos gauntlet that when tapped it will trigger a fade-out effect on the search results.
