In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), whispers about the return of the iconic supervillain, Thanos, are gaining momentum. Josh Brolin, the actor behind the menacing Mad Titan, recently shared intriguing insights into the potential resurrection of the character that left audiences in awe after Avengers: Endgame.

It’s been five years since the Avengers successfully defeated and vanquished Thanos, played masterfully by Josh Brolin. Endgame marked the end of the Infinity Saga, propelling the MCU into the multiversal saga in Phase 5. While some recent releases like Spiderman: No Way Home, Loki series, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings have captivated fans, the general sentiment suggests a yearning for the return of iconic villains like Thanos.

Josh Brolin, much like the enthusiastic fan base, has heard murmurs about Thanos making a comeback. In an interview with Comicbook, the actor hinted, “You know, I hear kind of like through the grapevine, that they’re gonna bring him back.” Brolin also mentioned the existence of a different Thanos in Marvel’s What If…? series but expressed uncertainty about whether this alternate version would find its way back into the cinematic realm. Interestingly, Brolin confessed to being unaware that Thanos holds the record for being the most killed Marvel villain.

The potential return of Thanos raises intriguing questions about how Kevin Feige and his team plan to integrate Brolin’s character into the ongoing multiversal saga. With the MCU narratives appearing scattered and lacking a unifying theme for Avengers 5, fans are eager to see how the iconic supervillain could be woven back into the tapestry of Marvel storytelling.

Considering Thanos’ status as the most killed Marvel villain, hope flickers for a dramatic return. However, the success of this resurrection hinges on the creative prowess of the MCU architects in aligning Brolin’s character with the evolving multiverse storyline.

Meanwhile, Josh Brolin, currently engrossed in the promotional activities for Dune: Part Two, directed by Denis Villeneuve, adds another layer to the mystery. In the sci-fi epic, Brolin assumes the role of Gurney Halleck alongside a stellar cast featuring Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Austin Butler, and others. Dune 2 is slated for a theatrical release on March 15, 2024.

As the anticipation for Thanos’ potential return builds, fans worldwide await official announcements from Marvel Studios. The delicate balance of reviving a beloved character while maintaining the essence of the MCU’s multiversal evolution remains a challenge, one that will undoubtedly shape the future of Marvel’s cinematic universe.

In the meantime, enthusiasts can catch Josh Brolin in his upcoming role in Dune: Part Two, promising another cinematic spectacle set to enthrall audiences on March 15, 2024. Stay tuned for more updates as the MCU continues its journey into uncharted multiversal territories, with the tantalizing prospect of Thanos making a comeback.
