Josh Brolin Allegedly Cast as Thanos

It's looking like the 'Oldboy' star could become the Mad Titan.

Ever since Thanos made a cameo in The Avengers, many of us have wondered when the cosmic powerhouse will show his purple face again. There's been a fair amount of talk about which actor will step into the Avatar of Death's giant boots, and, according to Variety and Latino Review, W. and Oldboy star Josh Brolin will be transformed into the evil character. Latino Review claims Brolin will serve as the voice of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy.

No Caption Provided

Can you see Brolin as the cosmic threat, Viners? Share your thoughts with us below.

Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and opens August 1.

Is it going to be a voice over? or his whole physique?.....Thanos is a big man!...Brolin is a good actor though!

I'm okay with this, I didn't have anyone in mind for Thanos, but Brolin has the voice for it imo.

@k4tzm4n: I'd rather see a voice like Keith David or Andre Braugher voice someone with the power of a Thanos. I suppose DC/Warner Bros could use one of those two actors as Darkseid since, the two characters are so similar

People like to kill The Latino Review, but they're actually right a lot of the time.

Loved they said the star of Oldboy - who saw that piece of garbage remake anyway?

The quality or box office figures of the film isn't the point -- it's citing his latest theatrical release.

@thewalkingdeadpool18: The Guardians fit perfectly for a movie, Star Wars and Star Trek have both proven that. Honestly I'm actually sort of looking forward to the GOTG movie, because I think it will actually work out really well. In fact, Guardians may actually work better in live action then in animation, which is something I almost never believe when it comes to a comic franchise. Captain Marvel is a completely different story.

If GOTG can work in a live action movie Shazam can work in a live action movie. Lets face it you just don't want a Captain Marvel movie because you don't like live action movies/shows but just because you don't want a Shazam movie doesn't mean Shazam couldn't work in a live action movibe because Shazam would work in a live action movie.

I gotta say Im ok with him as the "voice" which everyone is forgetting to notice,it saids voce,and in for Guardians of the guardians movie,which mean if they decide to cast Thanos in the future,then a physical actor has yet to be casted,now when they show who is the physical thanos I'll be excited!!!

@thewalkingdeadpool18: I disagree with both notions. I will admit there is 1 way that I think Captain Marvel could work, but even then I don't see it working well.

No they actually confirmed he IS going to be. Just not as like the main bad guy that they fight. He'll make another cameo.

Okay, that makes sense

@amazingwebhead: he is. And apparently he had a scene in Age of Ultron as well.

Of corse

It's hard to take Latino Review serious but this is trending on Facebook and Wikipedia confirms it when you look him up.

Wikipedia is not an official source of anything...anyone can edit it...

Variety confirmed it though. They're legit.

@captainmarvel4ever:

But he means not live action actor like Hulk that certain characters literally can't be in live action they would have to be in CGI in a live action movie. You mean it like the way you feel about Shazam that he wouldn't work in live action. Opinions on a Shazam movie aside you could actually do live action with him in the sense of cast a kid and cast an adult for Shazam. He means Thanos need to be CGI because no practical effect would be able to make a comic book like Thanos.

Had my heart set on Leonard Nimoy voicing the Mad Titan :-/

...but, Brolin is a great choice and will due the voice justice!

He'll be fine. Like Spader will be fine.

Why Kevin Grevioux isn't voicing Thanos, I'll never know.

Are they going to waste or actually use him since Marvel made Sir Anthony Hopkins sleep through an entire movie.

I watched Captain America the Winter Soldier with certain people who work at Marvel & they told me then that it was Josh Brolin. I can't say who told me cause it could cost them their job, but I can confirm this.

Yeah....this shouldn't be posted if Latino Review is the source...

Latino Review, lol

Exactly

And Variety.

Yeah. Latino Review is hit and miss but Variety is not someone I would dismiss at all.

On topic...if they're doing any type of Live Action...I sell this hard. I can't even imagine a live action Thanos...it would look retarded imo. And I haven't liked Josh Brolin since The Goonies so...

If he's just the voice, then whoever is fine.

I like Brolin. Hadn't really thought of him for Thanos, but I think he'll do a good job.

I don't know why, but I can see that.

This may sound ridiculous, but his head kinda looks like Thanos's too. :/
