Josh Brolin Will Reprise Thanos Role In 2016 & 2017

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s big bad himself Josh Brolin has revealed he will be appearing as Thanos at least once before ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ kicks off in 2018.

Speaking to Nuke The Fridge the actor - who first portrayed the Mad Titan in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ earlier this year - revealed when he would be stepping back into the supervillain’s enormous galactic boots.

“The fact that it’s so, it’s like, yeah in 2016 and ’17, what am I going to be doing? Oh, I’m going to be doing that,” he said.

"I’m very lucky in that way, man. I just get presented these things and I go wow, really? Why now and why this? The possibilities for Thanos are unlimited.”

With ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ set for release in two parts across 2018 and ‘19 that covers the 2017 block of filming. The mention of 2016 means a very likely appearance in 2017, probably in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’.

Thanos will certainly appear in ‘Infinity War’ parts 1 and 2, and may well also appear in the two films between those parts: ‘Captain Marvel’ and ‘Inhumans’.

It is clearly a huge undertaking for the actor, but he certainly seems enthusiastic.

'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' will be released on April 28, 2017. 'Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1' will be released on May 4, 2018 with 'Part 2' arriving on May 3, 2019.
