Thanos to come back? Josh Brolin says he'd 'be there tomorrow' for Marvel Avengers Doomsday or Secret Wars if ...
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with host Josh Horowitz, the actor made it clear that a call from Marvel would be all it takes to get him back into the shoes of the crazed, purple Titan.
"That was one movie and I've said it...the Thanos thing, if they called me in London right now and said let's do this, I'd be like, 'I'll be there tomorrow,'" Brolin stated.
The discussion came as speculation continues to swirl about potential appearances in 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Secret Wars'. Horowitz noted that while Thanos' story concluded on a memorable high, Brolin appears confident in the abilities of the Russo brothers — Anthony and Joe — who directed 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame', to craft a fitting return should it ever happen.
"Of course they're going to come up with something really fun, I mean who knows?" Brolin replied. "...I don't know what they're going to do, but I'm sure it'll be interesting. I think they do that very, very, very well."
Horowitz also quizzed Brolin on whether he stays in touch with Avengers stars and creatives, including Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo brothers, who are set to helm 'Avengers: Doomsday'.
"[I] talk to Downey probably 4-6 times a year, I talk to the Russos probably 4-6 times a week," Brolin said. "I mean, I talk to Joe a lot...I love them, I love both of them, I think they're amazing."
Brolin's remarks will undoubtedly excite Marvel fans still enamoured with his portrayal of the Mad Titan — a performance that became one of the most iconic in superhero cinema. With the Russo brothers and Robert Downey Jr back for 'Avengers: Doomsday', the door may not be fully closed on a dramatic Thanos return.

James Marsden felt ‘pretty special' returning as X-Men's Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday after 20 years
American actor James Marsden has finally broken his silence about stepping back into the shoes of Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, for Avengers: Doomsday, slated to release in December next year. Speaking to Vanity Fair during a conversation centered around his Emmy-nominated performance in Paradise, the 51-year-old described his casting in the Marvel epic as 'a nice little homecoming to a role that really put me on the map.' James Marsden will return as Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday Reflecting on returning to the superhero genre after two decades, James admitted, 'I'm getting a little long in the tooth to put on the superhero costume,' before laughing off the challenge. 'I was excited because you're a part of something gigantic, and I've spent 20 years listening to people say, 'When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?'' he added. James originally brought Cyclops to life in 2000's X-Men, the first installment in 20th Century Fox's film series based on Marvel's iconic mutant team. He returned for its sequels, X2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), where his character was seemingly killed off. However, alternate timelines and multiversal storylines later brought him back in X-Men: Days of Future Past. 'I'm dead. Well, maybe not,' he quipped, addressing the winding path his character has taken over the years. 'So it's been a blast. It really has... a very beloved character, this icon from the comics. And so to step back into that role was pretty special,' he said. With Disney now holding the reins of the X-Men franchise following its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the studio is integrating the mutants into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. James will reunite with several of his former co-stars in Avengers: Doomsday, including Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), as confirmed during a Marvel livestream teasing the film's massive cast.
