When we spoke to Gunn,he describeda bit of the process behind Brolin’s work:
Thanos is actually modeled on Josh. The character, if you can look at him, he looks like Josh. We motion captured Josh for the dialogue and everything.
And if you’re wondering why you’re just seeing this now, Kevin Feigetold us about the secrecybehind the casting and character:
Well I don’t know if it’s super secretive. I mean, often I don’t think there’s a reason to put out any sort of big press release for each and everything we do and every little move we make. And also in the overall context. So in other words, if we put Thanos in the middle of marketing forGuardians of the Galaxy, I don’t know if it’d make a lick of difference in terms of who goes to see the movie.
It’s not a spoiler to say Thanos survivesGuardians of the Galaxyand will likely wreak havoc on the team, and maybe the Avengers, in the next 3-4 years. And Josh Brolin will be the mad at the center of it. What do you think of the Josh Brolin Thanos look?
