I'll be there tomorrow: Josh Broslin says he is ready to return as Thanos in Avengers: Doomsday if Russo Brothers called

Josh Brolin says he’d return as Thanos if Russo Brothers call, while teasing Dune 3 and Sicario updates.

"If they called me in London right now and said, ‘Let’s do this,’ I’d be like, ‘I’ll be there tomorrow.’ – Josh Brolin"

Washington DC, August 10

Josh Brolin recently opened up about his wish to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Thanos anytime.

According to Deadline, in an interview on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actor was asked if he would join the Avengers franchise again. "If they [the Russo Brothers] called me in London right now and said, 'Let's do this,' I'd be like, 'I'll be there tomorrow,'" Brolin said.

Brolin played the main villain Thanos in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' He praised the Russo Brothers, who are directing the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday,' set to release in 2026. "Of course they're gonna come up with something really fun. I mean, who knows? That [Endgame] was a 10-year and a building kind of thing and that was its own bookended deal, and I don't know what they're gonna do, but I'm sure it'll be interesting."

The actor also revealed that Thanos was first meant to be just a cameo role, but it grew into a major villain role over time.

Talking about his other projects, Brolin said the script for Dune: Part Three is "super good" and gives the trilogy a strong ending. He also hinted that a new Sicario film could happen, calling it "very, very real," though he did not share more details.

"I just talked to one of the heads at Warner Bros. and they're very, very excited in a visceral way. It's good. I said something like, 'I heard dailies are really good.' And he goes, 'How do you know?'" Brolin said, joking about his limited role in the threequel.

Honestly, I think Marvel should move on. Thanos' story was perfect in Endgame. Bringing him back would feel forced and ruin his legacy. Let's have new villains with fresh stories!

Brolin as Thanos was epic! But I'm more excited about Dune 3 - that's where his real acting chops shine. Marvel is fun, but Denis Villeneuve's films are next level cinema.

As an Indian fan, I'd love to see Thanos return but with some connection to our mythology. Maybe they could explore his backstory with references to Hindu concepts of time and destruction? That would be mind-blowing!

Marvel is getting repetitive now. Instead of bringing back old villains, they should focus on better writing. Phase 4 was disappointing except for Loki. Quality over nostalgia please!

Josh Brolin is such a versatile actor! From Thanos to Gurney Halleck, he brings so much depth to every role. Excited for both MCU and Dune projects. More power to him! 🙌
