Josh Brolin is open to returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Thanos.<\/p>\n
The 57-year-old actor played the franchise\u2019s big bad in 2018\u2019s Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and Brolin has now said he would consider playing the Mad Titan again if director Joe Russo approached him with the right idea.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, he said: \u201cIf Joe Russo comes to me, which he may have, I don’t know, and has an idea, then I might acquiesce. Probably pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knives Out star previously said he would be open to coming back to the MCU, as long as doing so felt \u201cright\u201d – much like his return for the 2018 Sicario sequel Day of the Soldado.<\/p>\n
He explained to Collider: \u201cI\u2019m not kidding – there\u2019s a thing with playing Thanos. It\u2019s like, Oh, they\u2019re gonna bring Thanos back.\u2019 It\u2019s like Sicario; it has to be right.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like Ryan Reynolds and I talking about Taylor Swift and we should be talking about Deadpool 4. But we go back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brolin heaped praise on Avengers directors Joe and Anthony Russo, and added he \u201cwould do anything\u201d the pair wanted him to do in a potential future Marvel movie.<\/p>\n
The Dune actor said: \u201cAgain, it\u2019s what in his mind fits, what in my mind fits. Thanos has to fit if you\u2019re going to bring him back. I would do anything that the Russos wanted me to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
After helming Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, the Russo brothers are coming back for 2026\u2019s Avengers: Doomsday and its sequel Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.<\/p>\n
Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of X-Men icons Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Channing Tatum (Gambit), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (James \u2018Bucky\u2019 Barnes), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent) and Lewis Pullman (Sentry) are also confirmed to appear in the film.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Fantastic Four – as portrayed by Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) – round out the cast.<\/p>\n
Avengers: Doomsday will likely follow the Avengers, the New Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four as they join forces to stop Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) from unleashing his devastating plans across the Multiverse.<\/p>\n
Tatum – who first played Gambit in 2024\u2019s Deadpool and Wolverine – recently teased Avengers: Doomsday would \u201cmelt everybody\u2019s brain\u201d due to its grand scale.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old actor told People: \u201cI think that they really set themselves up for a really hard bar to hit. Every single movie that they make is the next one has to top it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I read the script, I was just like, \u2018What?!\u2019 I don’t think anybody’s really going to understand how they did this. It’s going to melt everybody’s brain all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
