Josh Brolin Talks Thanos in 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Thanos has been slowly but surely making his way inside of the Marvel cinematic universe, staring back since we first saw him at the end of Avengers. With Guardians of the Galaxy we were able to get a better look and feel for the character, all that being just a glimpse of what will come along the way until we get to see Thanos in full when Avengers: Infinity War Part I & Part II come around. But until then, Josh Brolin shared some insight about the role and hinted at what to expect from the character in Infinity War.

While on an interview with Collider and other journalists, Brolin talked about the differences between a character like Thanos compared to his role in Inherent Vice:

"It's different man, it's just different.  I don't have a thing like, 'I only do small art films' or 'I only do this.'  I just read a story and go, 'wow.  That's cool.'  It's not, 'I want to get into this genre or that genre.'  So Thanos came along... and I had a good friend Louis D'Esposito who used to be a first AD and is now the co-president of Marvel, and 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.  But I love the idea of Thanos."

Brolin also commented on the future of the character and what we might expect from him in Infinity War:

 "Ultimately it's Thanos against everyone.  So why wouldn't you do that?  I was more nervous doing that than I think I've been in long time. I was in front of thirty-two little cameras and I had a face sprayed with iridescent paint.  It's really exciting, the possibilities of what it could become."

Sure, the comments aren't really very revealing or insightful, but keep in mind that there probably isn't a lot that he can reveal, plus the films are quite some time away. It is nice to at least hear positive comments of what is to come with Thanos. Avengers: Infinity War Part I is set to hit theaters on May 4th, 2018 and Avengers: Infinity War Part II opens in theaters on May 3rd, 2019.
