Josh Brolin Says He Was "Blown Away" by the AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Story
The big bad Marvel villain Thanos has been lurking in the shadows in the MCU just waiting to strike and unleash hell on the universe since he was teased at the end of the first Avengers movie. That time is upon us, and the fury of the Mad Titan will explode in the two Avengers: Infinity War films.
The movies are said to be bringing in a ton of characters from the MCU which will include members of the Avengers and members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. While speaking with Moviefone, Josh Brolin, the actor who plays Thanos, revealed that the whole story of the two films were revealed to him recently and it blew him away. Here's what he said:
“Yeah, I sat at a table and I listened to the story from beginning to end, which was … you know, sometimes you go around and you go, 'Oh, it’s a great movie. Or this is a great experience,' and you kind of know that it’s not. This is the opposite…These stories … these Avengers stories all come down to this conclusion, and that’s our involvement. Basically, my character against everybody. And it’s really fun what they’ve chosen to do with the story. I think it’s brilliant, personally. I was blown away, and had goose pimples pretty much 50% of the time that I was listening to what was going on, and pretty amazed that I’m going to be involved in it. So it’s a big thing that’s coming up.”
I was already excited for the film, but hearing Brolin talk about it like this definitely turns up the heat. I can't wait to see what Marvel and directors Joe and Anthony Russo are planning for this story arc! It sucks that we have to wait until 2018 to see it.
Production on the two Infinity War films start in November of this year, and they will be shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. Both films will be shot back-to-back. For all of our news updates on Avengers: Infinity War, click here.
