2018 was the year that Josh Brolin finally mastered the art of starring in a great comic book movie, playing major roles in two acclaimed efforts that did massive business at the box office. Released just three weeks apart, the actor won strong notices for Deadpool 2‘s time traveling Cable and Avengers: Infinity War‘s intergalactic genocidal maniac Thanos, even though the characters couldn’t have been more different.
The Goonies star’s previous flirtations with the genre hadn’t been particularly successful, with his first stab at the genre resulting in the awful Jonah Hex. Admittedly, he was the best thing about Men in Black 3 by far after stealing the show with his pitch perfect impression of Tommy Lee Jones, and the movie itself was a big hit, but it was about as formulaic and serviceable as a summer blockbuster could get, while Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was vastly inferior to the first installment from both a critical and commercial perspective.
In short, Marvel and Josh Brolin tend to make good bedfellows, and the latest report making the rounds is claiming that he’s set to return to the world’s biggest franchise as both Cable and Thanos. Most fans are already expecting him to return for the Merc with a Mouth’s MCU debut, while the Mad Titan has been the source of constant talk surrounding a comeback, especially when the studio confirmed his ties to the Eternals.
Of course, this all remains firmly in the realms of rumor and speculation for now and it’s far from the first time we’ve heard something similar, but given the established working relationship between the two parties, it wouldn’t be a surprise to discover the 52 year-old has signed on for more superhero adventures in the near future.
