Josh Brolin, who plays a cop stuck in the past in
Inherent Vice , spoke with us at length about the
part and, along the way, dropped a few details
regarding the direction of Thanos in the
Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Infinity
War.
Hit the jump for Brolin’s comments on Thanos’
direction as a character, which ostensibly
stretches up to the culmination of Avengers:
Infinity War. And be sure to tune back in later for
our Inherent Vice coverage, which features Brolin
as an entirely different kind of bruiser. That film
opens nationwide on January 9th.
Towards the end of an interview with myself and
a few other journalists, Brolin commented on the
difference between playing a mo-cap character
like Thanos and the more tangible Bigfoot from
Inherent Vice :
“It’s different man, it’s just different. I don’t have
a thing like, “I only do small art films” or “I only
do this.” I just read a story and go, “wow.
That’s cool.” It’s not, “I want to get into this
genre or that genre.” So Thanos came along..
and I had a good friend Louis D’Esposito who
used to be a first AD and is now the co-president
of Marvel, and he and I used to train together.
We did Hollow Man together. He called me up
and started talking about this thing. It was nice
because I could intimately talk to him about it.
What I liked. What I didn’t like about the whole
idea of it. But I love the idea of Thanos.”
Brolin then opened up a bit on the character’s
future and what it’s been like playing him so far
on a technical level:
“Ultimately it’s Thanos against everyone. So why
wouldn’t you do that? I was more nervous doing
that than I think I’ve been in long time. I was in
front of thirty-two little cameras and I had a
face sprayed with iridescent paint. It’s really
exciting, the possibilities of what it could
become.”
