Thanos, that big purple grape🍇 who got turned into dust and then got his head lopped off in Avengers: Endgame (spoiler alert, but like, were you living under a rock?🪨), might be back! Because apparently, death is just a minor inconvenience in the MCU. Like, who even stays dead anymore?🙄. Josh Brolin, the guy who played Thanos (with the help of, like, a billion dollars worth of CGI 💻), is totally down to reprise his role if Marvel calls. Because, you know, paychecks 💰 and stuff.
Brolin, bless his heart ❤️, said on some podcast no one’s ever heard of (Happy Sad Confused—yeah, okay 🙄) that if Marvel asked him to play Thanos again, he’d be there “tomorrow.” Because apparently, he has nothing better to do. I mean, sure, he’s been doing voice work for Thanos variants in What If…? (the show that answers questions nobody asked), but that’s not the same as strutting around in full purple regalia, is it?😎
And get this: Brolin thinks the upcoming Avengers movies (Doomsday and Secret Wars—sounds original💡) are going to be “fun.” Fun? Is that what we’re calling it now? More like a chaotic mess of multiversal madness that will probably retcon everything we thought we knew about the MCU. But hey, as long as it makes Disney money 💸, who cares about the story, right? 🤷♀️
Brolin also shared that he wasn’t worried about fans not buying him as “the purple guy on screen.” Because, you know, it’s not like he’s a classically trained actor or anything. He just relied on the “absurdity” of it all. Like, pretending a random object is a gun. 🔫 Groundbreaking stuff, really. Makes you think about the deeper meaning of art… or not.🙄
And here’s a fun fact: Marvel was so paranoid 🤪 about plot leaks that they gave Brolin fake scenes to film. Can you imagine? “Okay, Josh, pretend you’re Thanos ordering a latte.” ☕ I’m sure that really helped him get into character. Method acting at its finest.🎭 He was only supposed to be in the movie for 10 minutes! But then it became a “whole thing” whatever that means.
Apparently, Brolin is still chummy with Robert Downey Jr. (aka Iron Man, the guy who actually stayed dead… for now). They talk “four to six times a year.” Which is like, what, a quarterly check-in to make sure they’re both still rich and famous? 🤑 He also talks to the Russo brothers (the directors who, let’s be honest, peaked with Endgame) “four to six times a week.” I bet those conversations are riveting.🤔
Oh, and get this: Brolin was “glad” his work as Cable in Deadpool 2 was just “one experience.” Translation: “I got paid, and I’m moving on.” Can’t blame him, really. 🤷♀️
So, there you have it. Thanos might be back, Josh Brolin is ready for a paycheck, and the MCU is going to keep churning out content until the end of time. Or until we all get bored and start watching something else. Which, let’s be honest, is probably going to happen sooner rather than later. 😴
Go see Brolin’s new horror movie Weapons… or don’t. And mark your calendars for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026. Because by then, we’ll all be begging for the sweet release of the apocalypse. 💀
