As Thanos, Josh Brolin has one of the sweetest gigs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His character is mostly computer-generated, heâs only ever had a handful of lines, he has a cool rocket chair in Guardians Of The Galaxy, and he still gets to be the biggest villain in the whole universe. However, Avengers: Infinity War will make him get out of that rocket chair and actually do something for once, and it sounds like Brolin is really excited about the prospect of finally getting a chance to murder some superheroes.
Speaking with Moviefone (via IGN), Brolin said that he recently âsat at a tableâ and âlistened to the [Infinity War] story from beginning to end,â which he seemed to be pretty happy with. He said that actors sometimes have to say something is âa great movieâ or âa great experienceâ even though they donât really mean it, but Infinity War âis the opposite.â He says the story is basically about Thanos âagainst everybodyâ and is âreally funâ overall, adding that he was âblown awayâ by how âbrilliantâ it all was. He even claims that he âhad goose pimplesâ for most of the time he was hearing the story, and heâs âpretty amazedâ that he gets to be a part of it.
No plot details about Infinity War (which is reportedly just a working title) have been released, but it will most likely feature some of the same elements as Jim Starlin and George PĂŠrezâs The Infinity Gauntlet comic. That story involved Thanos essentially becoming the supreme being of the entire universe, so itâs not especially surprising that the guy playing Thanos would be into that.
