Josh Brolin Open To MCU Return As Thanos
Josh Brolin has confirmed that he is willing to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thanos. The actor played the role for much of The Infinity Saga, culminating in the climactic showdown between his army and The Avengers in Avengers: Endgame. He can currently be seen in Outer Range on Amazon Prime.
Thanos debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2012 during the post-credits stinger for The Avengers, but Josh Brolin did not enter the role until 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. From there, he became the major big bad of the franchise, fully stepping into the spotlight with the release of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, in which he wiped out half of all living creatures with the Infinity Gauntlet. One year later (and five years later, canonically), Thanos faced off against The Avengers one final time, ultimately finding himself defeated by an Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). The Mad Titan was effectively erased from the mainline MCU timeline with Thanos turned to dust.

Currently, it does not look like Marvel has a plan to bring back Thanos in any
