The release of "Avengers 3: Infinity War" has made Marvel's strongest villain Thanos circle a wave of fans.
This character, who had only appeared in Easter eggs and lines before, finally had enough drama in "Reunion 3". Some media have counted the length of appearance of each character in "Reunion 3", and Thanos ranked first without suspense, no wonder some people say that the film should be renamed "Thanos".
As Marvel's long-term boss, Thanos can be called a clear stream among villains.
He does not seek power, does not seek profit, only to maintain the balance of the universe, and his eyebrows are cold to the thousand fingers. After the fact, he took the initiative to retire, and his greatest wish was to sit in the green mountains and green waters to watch the sunrise.
Compared to those faceless villains, Thanos is more like a martyr who endures humiliation and burdens. His kinship with his adopted daughter Kamora also has a sense of fatalism as the godfather of the gang.
No wonder the charm of this villain can make superhero fans "defect" and shout for the evil forces.
"Purple Potato Essence", "Extinction Of The Heart", "The Strongest Family Planning Commission in the Universe"... These passages on the Internet show that fans love this villain.
The success of the role of Thanos is, on the one hand, the charm of the Marvel movies themselves, and on the other hand, it is due to the actor Josh Brolin.
When it comes to josh Brolin, some fans may not be familiar with the actor, only that he plays Thanos in the Marvel Universe, and will also play Cable in another Marvel movie, Deadpool 2.
In fact, Josh Brolin has a very good family background, he came from a Hollywood acting family, his father is the famous American actor James Brolin in the 1970s and 1980s, who won two Golden Globe Awards and one Emmy Award.
Stepmother Barbara Streisand is a legendary superstar in Hollywood, and is the only artist who has won many authoritative awards such as the Oscars, Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, and Golden Globe Awards.
It can be said that Josh Brolin is an uncompromising star of the second generation, and the starting point of his debut is very high.
At the age of 17, Josh Brolin starred in his first film "Seven Treasures" and entered the film and television circle. Produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Superman director Richard Donner, the film was so popular at the time that Josh Brolin first came into view.
But like many idiots, Josh Brolin was initially less attached to the job as an actor.
After The Seven Treasures, Josh Brolin began to develop into the field of television dramas. Because of his excellent appearance conditions, the filmmaker invited him to star in the TV series "Dragon and Tiger Junior Team", but he was not interested in the script and refused this opportunity.
In the end, the show touted his successor, Johnny Depp, and Josh Brolin's career hit a low point after starring in several rather failed series.
What Josh Brolin did not expect was that the career downturn lasted for 20 years. During this time, he worked as a dragon set, a theater actor, and played several important roles in movies directed by his father, but he has not been able to open up popularity.
At that time, Josh Brolin was not without a chance to turn around, and received many invitations to commercial blockbusters. But his temper is hot and strange, and he has broken a good deck of cards, making himself gradually become a third- and fourth-line actor who has not known from a newcomer who has just become popular.
In 2004, when Josh Brolin was playing a supporting role in "Blue Sea Tracking," the director taunted him: "Who is Brolin?" Shippo Conspiracy? That was 20 years ago! I want Dean Kane (superman at the time)! ”
This sentence finally stimulated Brolin, and in the long career of the dragon set, he gradually understood that if he wanted to gain the respect of others, he could not rely on his family background, but only on his own true ability.
So Josh Brolin began to carefully select the script, studying his own play path, and finally ushered in a turnaround in 2007.
At that time, he played a small role in the cult film "Execution Chamber", was appreciated by the Coen brothers, and was invited to audition for "Old And Helpless". Josh Brolin prepared for this and invited Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, directors of The Execution Chamber, to shoot audition tapes for him.
In the end, Josh Brolin became the male lead of "Old And Nobody", and the film not only sold well at the box office after its release, but also won three Oscars for best picture, best director, and best supporting actor. Although Josh Brolin was snatched up by the villain played by Javier Baden, the film brought him back to the mainstream media.
Arguably, 2007 was a bumper year for Josh Brolin. He has continuously starred in three well-known masterpieces of "Old Nobody", "American Gangster" and "Decisive Battle of Elagaya", and brushed his face on the big screen.
In 2008, he also co-starred with Sean Penn in the biopic Milk. Sean Penn starred as gay politician Harvey Milk, and Josh Brolin as his political enemy and assassin Dan White.
The rivalry between the two in the film is full of tension, and Josh Brolin's appearance is different from the wild cowboys of the past, but transforms into an elite politician in a suit. In the end, Sean Penn became an Oscar winner for "Milk", and Josh Brolin was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Subsequently, Josh Brolin successively starred in films such as "Earth Thunder", "Men in Black 3", "Emotional Holiday", "Sin City 2" and other films, especially the box office success of "Men in Black 3", which allowed him to connect with commercial blockbusters.
Although his acting career has come out of the trough, Josh Brolin's fiery temper has not diminished, and the negative news of alcoholism, fighting, and even domestic violence has once made him controversial.
In August 2004, Josh Brolin married actress Diane Lynn, his second wife, and the two divorced in February 2013, during which time there were rumors that Josh Brolin was suspected of domestic violence.
So what role has this Diane Lynn played?
Well, she plays Superman's adoptive mother Martha Kent in the DC Universe.
So now for reporting on this old story, the headline should look like this: "Shocked! Marvel's number one villain turned out to be the adoptive mother of Superman."
After divorcing Diane Lynn, Josh Brolin married young model Catherine Boyd in September 2016, an old man with a young wife, and can be described as a winner in life.
Talking about this third marriage, Brolin said: "We have very similar personalities, people always say that people with complementary personalities are more compatible, but from my past experience, this is useless to me." ”
Josh Brolin is notoriously hot-tempered in Hollywood, and despite the success of "Milk" with Sean Penn, some media outlets have filmed the two clashing words at a nightclub in Los Angeles.
What's even more awesome is that he once publicly choked James Cameron, because he was busy playing the "cable" in "Deadpool 2", refusing to play the upcoming "Avatar 2", which caused Cameron to scold him.
Cameron said to him, "Brolin! I can't resist saying that word that starts with f! ”
Josh Brolin responded to the media: "If I don't want to act, I won't act. Then he mended the knife and said, "If he [Cameron] came to me and asked me, 'Brother, why are you going to the media to talk about that?'" I would tell him, 'Because that's the truth.'" ”
It seems that even if Ka Shen mocks Marvel movies in every way, he can't win the hearts of Marvel actors.
As we all know, Ryan Reynolds, the star of "Deadpool 2", once played dc's "Green Lantern", and the reputation of the film was unbearable, resulting in Ryan Reynolds's acting career also falling into a low point, until starring in "Deadpool" to return to the peak.
Josh Brolin had the same experience as Ryan Reynolds at this point.
Back in 2010, Josh Brolin starred in the DC comic book "Western Hero Jonah Hax", playing the male protagonist Jonah Hax. However, this film is very bad, and was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, I believe the actors still do not want to mention this experience.
Jonah Hax: A fictional character who appears in Batman #237 (December 1971) and is disfigured on the right half of his face and is a bounty hunter.
In addition, when the DC Universe's Batman was first cast, director Zach Schneider originally wanted to find an older actor with gray hair, so Josh Brolin was also on the shortlist, but in the end he chose Ben Affleck.
The subsequent failures of batman wars and Justice League made Josh Brolin feel fortunate, saying, "I'm really glad I didn't play Batman because I wasn't the one he [Zach Schneider] was looking for." Seriously, if I'm chosen, I really don't know what to do. ”
emmmmm...... Watching their experiences really gives people a feeling that DC ruined the actors and Marvel praised the actors.
It is worth mentioning that Josh Brolin has also collaborated on many films with other Marvel actors.
Among them, "Old Boy", which cooperated with "Crimson Witch" Elizabeth Olson, is a remake of the Korean movie of the same name, and due to the ghost father plot of the film, it is easy to think that "Thanos" got into "Crimson Witch" and "Vision" wore a green hat before dying.
Josh Brolin also co-starred with "collector" Benicio del Toro on Border Killer, directed by Dennis Villeneuve, written by Taylor Sheridan, and photographed by Roger Deakins, about the war on drugs on the U.S.-Mexico border.
