Josh Brolin is not against returning as Thanos in Avengers: Doomsday. He was, in fact, the principle villain in each Avengers: Infinity Struggle and Avengers: Endgame — movies that each grossed $2 billion on the worldwide field workplace whereas making Thanos one of the vital well-known cinematic villains of all time, up there with Darth Vader and Voldemort, all names which can be shorthand for evil. It has been onerous for the MCU to fill these footwear; after failing with Kang the Conqueror, Marvel hopes Physician Doom is as much as the duty in Avengers: Doomsday.
Talking with Josh Horowitz through Comedian Guide Film, Brolin spoke about the potential of returning as Thanos. He mentioned he maintains shut contact with the Russo brothers and star Robert Downey Jr., which theoretically opens up the door for his return. Whereas at the moment not a part of the principle solid, Brolin mentioned he would not hesitate if requested, explaining:
“In the event that they [The Russo brothers] known as me in London proper now, and mentioned, ‘Let’s do that,’ I would be like, ‘I will be there tomorrow,’ I speak to Downey in all probability 4 to 6 instances a 12 months. I speak to the Russos in all probability 4 to 6 instances every week. I speak to Joe loads. I really like each of them. In fact, they’ll provide you with one thing enjoyable. Who is aware of? That was a 10-year in-the-building sort of factor, and that was its personal bookended deal. I do not know what they’ll do, however I am positive it will likely be fascinating. I believe they do this very, very properly.”
May Thanos Return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Though Thanos has died in the principle MCU timeline, that hasn’t stopped the character from returning. The one within the climax of Avengers: Endgame is technically a variant of the one the heroes already defeated. A pair Thanos variants have additionally proven up within the animated anthology collection What If…?, one who labored as a Ravager alongside T’Challa’s Star-Lord and one other contaminated by the zombie virus that hopefully will repay in Marvel Zombies. Brolin has already reprised his position for voice work, it is apparent he hasn’t misplaced his affinity for enjoying Thanos.
Avengers: Doomsday is at the moment filming, with manufacturing anticipated to run till November 2025, though the movie is not scheduled to reach till December 2026. Not like Spider-Man: Model New Day, which has been filming very publicly, safety on Avengers: Doomsday is tight, and little or no has been publicly revealed. Up to now, the one footage of the film has come through the post-credit scenes of Thunderbolts* and The Unbelievable 4: First Steps, each scenes shot by the Russo brothers. Physician Doom seems to be the principle focus of that movie, and the manufacturing seemingly will not wish to take consideration away from him.
If Thanos does not seem in Avengers: Doomsday, followers are hoping for a model of the character to indicate up in Avengers: Secret Wars — particularly to recreate one of the vital iconic moments from the 2015 restricted comedian collection, from Secret Wars #8, when God Emperor Doom rips out Thanos’ backbone. If tailored into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it will be the final word meta-commentary on how the previous villain of the MCU’s Infinity Saga is nothing in opposition to the franchise’s latest villain. A variant of Thanos might even seem on Battleworld, teaming up with the heroes to cease Physician Doom and forcing the heroes of the MCU to affix with their former biggest foe to battle an excellent better villain.
