Josh Brolin would be willing to return to the MCU world in the time it takes Thanos to snap his fingers.
The Weapons actor recently sat down with Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast for a sprawling interview touching on his past and future projects, including whether he would inhabit the Avengers franchise again.
“If they [the Russo Brothers] called me in London right now and said, ‘Let’s do this,’ I’d be like, ‘I’ll be there tomorrow,’” Brolin said of his time as the Big Bad in movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Speaking more broadly to the filmmaking duo’s helming of 2026’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, Brolin said: “Of course they’re gonna come up with something really fun. I mean, who knows? That [Endgame] was a 10-year and a building kind of thing and that was its own bookended deal, and I don’t know what they’re gonna do, but I’m sure it’ll be interesting.”
To that end, Brolin pointed out that the original role of the havoc-wreaking Thanos was supposed to be a one-off cameo, before it blossomed into a full-blown antagonist for the squad of intergalactic Marvel superheroes.
Speaking to his other projects, the Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery actor previewed that Dune: Part Three has a “super good” script and provides a worthy conclusion to the Denis Villeneuve film trilogy “in a big way.”
“I just talked to one of the heads at Warner Bros. and they’re very, very excited in a visceral way. It’s good. I said something like, ‘I heard dailies are really good.’ And he goes, ‘How do you know?’” Brolin said, joking about his limited role in the threequel.
Elsewhere, the Oscar nominee added that he recently heard talk of a followup to 2015’s Sicario and 2018’s Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which he called “very, very real,” though the actor had no further information to share.
