Josh Brolin Cast as Thanos

Josh Brolin (Jonah Hex, MIB 3) will voice the Mad Titan for the post-production process of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, directed by James Gunn and hitting theaters August 1st of this year. The news comes courtesy of sources close to Latino Review and confirmed by Variety.

Brolin hit a big cinematic stride following his role as the lead in the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men (2007), which won four Academy Awards and three Oscars. Brolin has also exercised comic book/sci-fi chops in Jonah Hex (2010); the American adaptation of the Korean hit, Oldboy (2013); and as a young Tommy Lee Jones in the third and most ambitious film installment of the Men in Black franchise (2012).

Marvel has also given Brolin the option to reprise his role as Thanos in the filming of both Avengers 2 and Avengers 3, the latter of which GOTG will most likely be tied into.

Prepare yourselves. For now, I summon... the end.
