Production on the movie recently wrapped and Marvel unveiled an exclusive teaser trailer for fans who managed to make it to Disney’s D23 Expo over the weekend. But the work is far from over, as there’s still another film to be made in this saga.
Actor Josh Brolin, who plays Thanos in the upcoming films, recently spoke with Good Morning America about his work on Infinity War and the conversation turned toward what he wants to see in the still untitled sequel. Brolin was asked what he wants to see in the movie and he provided a simple answer.

“Dude, whatever they come up with,” Brolin said. “You’re talking about nine guysโฆ they’re true fans of Marvel, on all the comic books. They talk off to Palm Springs and they have a barbecue over ten daysโฆ and they sit there and they geek out. And they come up and they go ‘What if Thanos did this thing, and with this, and he threw a planet at somebody,’ and they go ‘Yeah! Let’s write that down!’ โฆ And then they obviously have the monetary means to be able to manifest it, so they can do, they can make any fantasy come true. And those are the guys to do it because they’re true fans.”

Well, it sounds like Brolin is certainly excited to see what scenarios the Marvel Studios writers cook up for his character โ as if throwing a planet at someone isn’t enough.
You can tell he’s excited for the upcoming Avengers movies. Maybe even more so than the Marvel Studios fans are.
The only question now is, how does one get a job at Marvel Studios and can we go to this barbecue?

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
