Josh Brolin recently spoke to Collider about taking on the role of Thanos in the MCU. He says it was an easy decision to make and said that the role requires a different type of acting than he’s used to. Brolin went on to tell a story about a recent trip to a comic book store and you can see what he had to say below.
“It wasn’t until I was doing this movie [Sicario], I walked into a comic book store in Albuquerque and I saw a guy who recognized me as Thanos, who basically had a minor stroke, and I was afraid because his reaction was so severe,” he explained. “More severe than I’ve ever seen any reaction to any actor or somebody recognizable, and I realized Thanos was his life. Thanos was his savior. The whole thing was his — it’s like he woke up in the morning swallowed and ate these words in these comic books. So it means a lot. I get the responsibility and I take it with great care.” Brolin told Collider.
