Marvel’s upcoming American science fiction superhero film, Guardians of the Galaxy advanced screenings are underway, but we haven’t heard much about Thanos role in the movie or who’s playing it.
But today president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige confirms that Josh James Brolin will play as Thanos In Guardians of the Galaxy.
In an interview with Collider, Feige was asked to talk about Brolin’s casting as Thanos and provide more details, He replied: “We knew he was going to be in this movie.
We wanted somebody to be more than just the voice. Josh did the performance as well. We were looking at a wish list of, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if names,’ and his name was on it.
And you look at his face and the performances he gives, he could be Thanos without any effects. He has that kind of face and that kind of gravitas to it.
We reached out to him and it was one of those things that does not happen all the time but when it does it’s very nice, where he was totally intrigued.
He was a fan of what we did, he met with Jeremy Latcham in a hotel in London and learned about the characters a little bit. I spoke to him on the phone a few times.
We ran it by James who loved it, ran it by Joss who loved it because Thanos is in this universe because of Avengers. Then we shot him and recorded for it.”
Kevin Feige also confirmed that Josh Brolin has signed a multi-picture deal. So Josh Brolin’s Thanos might make an appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron and will be featured in The Avengers 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy will hit theaters on August 1, 2014 in 3D and IMAX, followed by Avengers: Age Of Ultron for May 1, 2015 release.
