In light of recent bad news from Marvel regarding the departure of Edgar Wright from Ant-Man, a bit of good news has surfaced surrounding the character Thanos (also known as The Mad Titan) - specifically on who will be playing him. Latino Review first reported that Josh Brolin will be portraying The Mad Titan, and that rumor has officially been confirmed by Variety.
There's been no confirmation yet on whether the character will be computer generated (CGI) with a bit of voice work, or if he will be motion capture (also referred to as mo-cap). Depending on how long Brolin's been attached, there is also a possibility that Marvel has decided to go the 'traditional' route and provide makeup and a bit of prosthetics for Thanos.
Since Marvel has a reputation for thinking things through to future films (made evident by their announcement they have films planned out until 2028) to create an entire universe, it's highly likely that Josh Brolin has been attached for quite some time and the news is just now being released.
Thanos will have a small role in this year's Guardians of the Galaxy, but will have a bigger role - as the main villain most likely - in Avengers 3. It's unclear whether he will show up in at least the end credits of Avengers 2, if at all.
Josh Brolin being cast as Thanos has me even more excited for Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the upcoming Avengers 2 and 3. He's a great actor, I have no doubt he can do the role justice. I'm looking forward to seeing what Marvel does with GotG. The same goes for Avengers 2 and Avengers 3.
