Josh Brolin "Blown Away" By Avengers: Infinity War's Story

The dust may be settling from Captain America: Civil War, but there's another war on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's horizon. Avengers: Infinity War will be the culmination of everything Marvel Studios has building up to so far, and it all revolves around the schemes of the Mad Titan called Thanos.

Josh Brolin will play Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. While there's still some time before the film begins production in earnest, Brolin tells Moviefone that he's impressed with what he's seen so far:

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.

First of all, from a publicity point of view, or an interest, I've gotten more publicity playing Thanos, even though I haven't done it yet, than all other movies combined. If there's any blurb of publicity at all for me, it includes Thanos in some way or another. "By the way, he's got "Hail, Caesar!" coming out. But don't forget about Thanos -- that's coming out," which is amazing, which is really cool.

Then the other side of it is really how much it means to people. It all comes down ... 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.

Avengers: Infinity War will be directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with screenplays by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. While the cast hasn't been officially announced yet, the expectation is that anyone who has been a part of Marvel Studios movie so far could make an appearance.
