Acco♊rding to Marvel star Josh Brolin, the MCU’s biggest villain Thanos could 🐼be making a return.

In an interview with , the star teased Thanos’ comeback. "You know, I hear kind of like through the grapevine, that they're gonna bring him back," Brolin says. "And there's the Wh♋at If...? series and that's a different kind of Thanos and all that. But I don't know in the Marvel world whether they're going to bring him back, but I didn't know that he was the most killed-off Marvel villain... You learn something new every day."

Thanos made his MCU debut back in 2012 with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Avengers, where he was portrayed by Damion Poitier. After that, Brolin took on the role from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy onwards and became the key villain in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Age of Ultron, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame.

The last time we saw him in the live-action MCU, he was killed off in the climactic Battle of Earth in Endgame. But despite that pretty definitive death, Brolin's comments have given us pause. After all, this wouldn't be🐎 the first tﷺime that Thanos has cheated death.  

Not only did the antagonist die twice in Endgame, but he was also killed by the Illuminati in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and perished a few more times in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:What If…? – although there are multiple versions of him t🍌o kill in that one. 

So far, nothing has been confirmed about a potential return for Thanos, but the MCU does have a villain issue at the moment. Jonathan Majors has been dropped as Kang at Marvel St🀅udios, putting the future of that character, and his role as the big bad of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 5 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 6, up in the air.

Up next for Brolin is Denis Villeneuve’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune 2, where he reprises his role as Gurney Halleck, valued mentor, friend, and advisor to Timothée Chalamet&r🗹squo;s Paul Atreides. Dune 2 hits theatres on March 1, 2024.
