Josh Brolin being cast as Thanos in the Marvel cinematic universe was perfection. We got our first look at Brolin as the villainous character in Guardians of the Galaxy, and it got me incredibly excited for whatever future plans Marvel Studios has for him. When they announced Avengers: Infinity War, my head exploded along with everybody else's.
While talking to ComingSoon.net, Brolin discussed the Mad Titan character that he portrays, and teased what will be coming in Infinity War.
“I love the idea of Thanos. Ultimately, it’s Thanos against everyone. Why wouldn’t you do that?”
The actor then talked about the man who persuaded him to take on the role. That man was Marvel Studios Co-President, and two-time Marvel One-Shot director, Louis D’Esposito. This is what Brolin said about him:
“Thanos came along because of my good friend Louis D’Esposito. He and I used to train together. We did ‘Hollow Man’ together. He called me up and started talking about this thing. It was nice because I could intimately talk to him about it. What I liked. What I didn’t like about the whole idea of it… It was really exciting because of the possibilities that it could be come[sic]. Not as an idea or as a blockbuster, but just as something different. It’s a character mentality.”
It’s going to be great to see how this character develops until he takes on everyone in Avengers: Infinity War. He’s expected to appear again in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but that has yet to be confirmed. I’m sure that he will show up again at some point before the two-part Avengers film, though, which hits theaters on May 4th, 2018 and May 3th, 2019.
