Thanos is being played by Josh Brolin in The Avengers: Infinity War and The Avengers 4 as the Mad Titan is on a quest to acquire the six Infinity Stones.

“Every one represents a power. A massive power. And all of them together, the ultimate power,” Brolin recently told Good Morning America. “There’s a few in [The Avengers: Infinity War trailer], and he’s always pining to get another one in there. So ultimately, we don’t know. I haven’t done the second movie, so I don’t know. I literally don’t know what the second script [for Avengers 4] is. I don’t know if they finished the second script. That’s the truth. I don’t know. I think that they are in the midst of structuring  and restructuring.”

Brolin continued with talk of Thanos.

“The thing with Thanos that you don’t understand is there is times when it can become psychological and not necessarily brute force. Interesting. More interesting for adults now. Maybe not for kids–not that statement, but to you, your eyes kind of glimmered. Intelligence, man. Intelligence. Diving right in. It is a smart movie. It is a really smart movie,” Brolin said. “He’s a smart character. I had no idea. In all truth. When I did the teaser, we had like thirty-six cameras or something, and I sat on a seat, and I wasn’t working with anybody. Now like being actually involved and interacting.. I can’t. I want to mention characters, and I can’t, but of the characters that are in it, it’s way more emotional and way more interactive than I thought. So it’s actually a lot of fun and a lot deeper than I thought. A lot more emotional than I thought.”
