Josh Brolin Confirms He Will Return As Thanos In AVENGERS 4
While this should come as no surprise (and may even be the least surprising news of the day), Josh Brolin has confirmed that he will indeed be back for seconds as Thanos in the still-untitled Avengers 4!
Rumors began circulating over the weekend suggesting that Thanos might just be a one-and-done villain, only appearing in Avengers: Infinity War before bowing out as the Skrulls take over as the main baddies in the still-untitled Avengers 4, and well, star Josh Brolin has thankfully dispelled those unsubstantiated rumors himself by officially announcing his return for the upcoming sequel, which is expected to begin filming any day now.
Brolin is currently in the midst of filming 20th Century Fox's Deadpool 2 in Vancouver, so it'll be interesting to see how he juggles the two filming schedules over the next few weeks, although if he has one thing going in his favor, it's that his role as Thanos is entirely mo-cap, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a workaround until Deadpool 2 wraps as Avengers 4 is expected to film through December.
Check out his latest post below:
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
