Josh Brolin's performance as Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War was nothing short of incredible and fans are understandably anxious to see the actor return as the Mad Titan in next year's Avengers 4. However, could the character have a future beyond that movie? As of right now, we have no idea but the actor has revealed that he's ready and willing to return as Thanos when the opportunity arises.
Before we get to that, though, Screen Rant mentioned to Brolin that he could be given the opportunity to show up as Thanos in The Eternals, a movie we recently learned Marvel Studios is developing for Phase 4. Despite being unaware that the project is moving forward, he made it clear that he would definitely be interested to see the villain's story continue there. He then elaborated on that:
"Yeah, you know what, I don't know what the future brings and who knows, but [I] love the idea of something infinite like this. I've never been involved in sequels. The fact that we've done some of Avengers 2, oh sorry, Avengers 4 but Infinity War 2, I'm going back. I'm going to do more, and we're going to do some reshoots and all that. So, I'm excited about all that. I love the Russos. I love working on the Avengers. I didn't think I was going to and I actually loved it. I didn't even like it. I loved it. I like playing that character. It's a Brando-esqe, Apocalyptic Now character and it's fun, but you know, I don't know. I don't know what the future holds. I've been surprised my entire career so we'll see."
Given Marvel's track record of killing off its bad guys, common sense says that Thanos will get what's coming to him and could end up going the same way as those he turned into dust at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. On the other hand, it would be great to see him survive and take on a very different role within the MCU but we're now going to have to wait and see. What do you guys think?
