We still don't know when and where Thanos will next rear his ugly head in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but with Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Avengers: Infinity War on the way, you know it has to be soon! Talking to Superhero Hype about Inherent Vice, Josh Brolin talked about what led to him landing the role and why he decided to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "I love the idea of Thanos. Ultimately, it’s Thanos against everyone. Why wouldn’t you do that?" Fair enough, but how did the chance to play the Mad Titan come about exactly? "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. Not as an idea or as a blockbuster, but just as something different. It’s a character mentality." What do you think about Brolin as Thanos?

Josh Brolin has a lot of subtlety to his acting and a presence that's perfect for Thanos. Very inspired choice.

Didn't like his performance in Guardians of the Galaxy so much... but I get that they needed to make Ronan the evil one there.

I liked the practical make up in the stinger in Avengers more than the mo-cap in GotG. Just my 2 cents.
