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.

Thanos Has Already Been Cast?

In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Marvel godfather, Kevin Feige, spoke breifly about the casting of Thanos in the MCU. "There is an actor. I'm not sure we are ready to announce it yet." So Feige has confirmed there is an actor in place to play the evil Infinity Gauntlet wearer. My best bet is that Thanos will have a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy, then be upgraded to the main villain in Avengers 3. So who is this mystery actor? Sylvester Stallone perhaps? Just Kidding. The year is 2014, not 1988. Who do you think the mystery actor is? Sound of in the comments.
