Thanos star Josh Brolin has madeno secret that he’d be open to returningas the Marvel villain, but now that the Russo brothers are back to directAvengers 5andAvengers 6, it seems more likely than ever.
Speaking toColliderat New York Comic Con, the No Country for Old Men star said he’d be up for it, if the story was right. “I’m not kidding – here’s a thing with playing Thanos. It’s like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna bring Thanos back.’ It’s like Sicario; it has to be right. It’s like Ryan Reynolds and I talking about Taylor Swift and we should be talking about Deadpool 4. But we go back and forth. Again, it’s what in his mind fits, what in my mind fits. Thanos has to fit if you’re going to bring him back. I would do anything that the Russos wanted me to do.”
After helming the previous Avengers movies, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con thatthe Russo brothers are coming back to the MCUonce again. They’ll be directing Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars withRobert Downey Jr. in tow as Doctor Doom.
