Josh Brolin Confirms Thanos' Return In Avengers 4

Little is currently known about Avengers 4, the planned sequel to Marvel Studios' epic Avengers: Infinity War. But we may have just discovered that a certain Mad Titan will be making a return appearance.

Josh Brolin, who brings Thanos to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shared a photo of his character from the recently released Infinity War concept art, with the caption "going back for more". With Avengers 4 entering production in the coming weeks, many are interpreting this post as Brolin's confirmation that he will return in the film.

Check out the photo below.

This should have been expected, as Brolin had previously spoken out about what he wanted to see in the picture. Still, the Mad Titan appearing in the film is certainly a bit of a surprise - and one that might hint at a less-than-optimistic fate for the wide array of Marvel heroes tasked with stopping him in Infinity War.

Fans will just have to wait and see what exactly Thanos' return means for the as-yet-untitled film - as well as the larger MCU.
