Josh Brolin is ready to return as Thanos at any time, at least as long as the Russo Brothers are involved.
While promoting his new horror movie “Weapons,” Brolin appeared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, where he told Josh Horowitz he’s ready to return to the role of the Mad Titan as soon as the Russo brothers ask.

“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 said. “I talk to [Robert Downey Jr.] probably four to six times a year. I talk to the Russos probably four to six times a week. I talk to Joe a lot. I love both of them.”

Without admitting to being in either “Avengers: Doomsday” or its follow-up “Avengers: Secret Wars,” Brolin said he’s looking forward to seeing the movies.
“Of course they’re going to come up with something fun,” Brolin said. “Who knows? That was a 10-year in-the-building kind of thing, and that was its own bookended deal. I don’t know what they’re going to do, but I’m sure it will be interesting. I think they do that very, very well.”
Brolin’s character died not once but twice in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” but with “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” acting as the culmination of Marvel’s Multiverse saga, there’s always the possibility Brolin could play a variant of Thanos from another reality.
In fact, Brolin has already played variants of Thanos in three separate episodes of the Marvel animated series “What If…?”
Thanos isn’t the only comic book role he mentioned in his interview with Horowitz. He also briefly referred to his time as Cable in “Deadpool 2,” saying, “‘Deadpool 2’, I was like, I was glad it was one experience.”
The “Dune” star has spoken in the past about how acting in “Deadpool 2” felt more like a “business transaction” in comparison to his time as Thanos.
He also talked about looking forward to seeing “Lanterns.” Brolin was one of a few actors who were offered the role of Hal Jordan and passed before it ultimately went to Kyle Chandler.
“I’m sure excited to see it,” Brolin said. “I can’t wait to see it. I love Kyle Chander. I think he’s solid. He’s fantastic.”
