Josh Brolin has been tapped to play the villainous Thanos in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” sources confirm to Variety.

Thanos, who first appeared in the post-credits scene in “The Avengers,” is a major villain in the Marvel universe and is also expected to appear in one, if not both, of the upcoming “Avengers” sequels.

“We’re definitely tied to ‘Avengers 3,’” director James Gunn recently said of the upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which hits theaters Aug. 1.

Co-starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper, “Guardians” is based on the Marvel comic series and tells the story of a superhero team fighting to save the world in the 31st century.

Latino Review first broke the Brolin news.




Why they take out this brother for a role he might be better suited for

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Brolin is a very good actor. But they went with a "safe" choice here.

[Kaypain]

Well its just for the voice tho brehs...

Too bad Michael Clarke Duncan passed away I think his voice would be perfect for it

 

[Jigganaut]

Meh.

 

[Jello Biafra]

They should have just used Keith David if its only voice acting.

Word his voice has dat gravitas. Hell Ron pearlman would have worked if they didn't want to do CGI.

[Heretic]

Shoulda used t.i. "say bruh this thanos pimp, gardens uh da galassy, venjas, lay it dine villain squad click"

 

[TheGodling]

They should have just used Keith David if its only voice acting.

Agreed, especially since David already has a strong legacy as a voice actor.

MCD would have been a fantastic Apocalypse too and I like to think if he hadn't passed they would have cast him.

I see your Keith David and raise you Tony Todd.

Keith's voice is iconic, but Todd has one of those voices that send chills down your back. He would have the speakers rattling like crazy.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Hopefully when WB gets around to doing Darkseid they look to actors with awesome voices like David, Todd, Perlman or Michael Ironside.

 

[Optimus Prime]

that dude from "Living Single" who does Kratos's voice might have worked...

All good suggestions. Another good one is Kevin Grevioux:



Fred.
