MCU Star Reveals Why He’s Sick of Attending Cons

by

As a seasoned cinephile who has attended more than a few conventions and met my fair share of Hollywood stars, I can wholeheartedly empathize with Josh Brolin’s frustration. While it’s thrilling to interact with our idols, some fans tend to cross the line between admiration and absurdity.

As a seasoned movie critic, I must say that Josh Brolin, the illustrious actor known for his gripping portrayals of Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cable in Deadpool 2, and Gurney Halleck in the Dune films, seems to be weary of the standard tropes and the relentless queries posed by fans fortunate enough to engage with him – a man who breathed life into the formidable character of Thanos.

According to Cinema Blend’s report, Brolin recently appeared as a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” alongside Cher, Keira Knightley, and Michael Fassbender. Given Fassbender’s background in comic book movies (having played Magneto in the X-Men prequels), it’s no surprise that the discussion turned to the superhero genre. During this conversation, Brolin spoke up about certain fans who misbehave during conventions, taking advantage of their chance to interact with actors to ask awkward or embarrassing questions.

Have you ever been to a Comic-Con? It can be quite an experience. The fans there are passionate and knowledgeable, which is wonderful. However, sometimes they can approach with a level of seriousness that can catch you off guard. For instance, one might say something like, “Did it ever occur to you, I apologize for bothering you, but did it ever occur to you that if you had the power to eliminate half the universe, you could potentially also create twice as many resources?” Quite insightful, and then you find yourself thinking, “Next!

Popular culture regularly features conventions and fan expos, serving as social gatherings for individuals who share common interests. At exceptional events, attendees may even get the chance to encounter their beloved celebrities in person. Fans often have the option to purchase premium photo opportunities that will last a lifetime, and they can utilize brief moments of their time to engage with renowned film stars.

So, if you’re one of them, why would you ask Josh Brolin something so irrelevant? Brolin is an actor, and he’s not in charge of deciding what Thanos does or does not, because he simply doesn’t write the character. Decades of comic book culture were thrown into the trash because you wanted to sound “super smart,” and you just ended up being a laughingstock, according to a huge Hollywood star.

Fans play a significant role in pop culture, yet the individual who posed the seemingly insignificant question about the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Brolin might have been among those eliminated by Thanos’ snap. So, if you ever get a chance to interact with Brolin at a convention, make sure your query is thought-provoking or amusing instead.

What’s Next for Josh Brolin?

Besides sharing news that may not be pleasing to fans, Brolin has had quite an active list of upcoming projects recently. Last year, he reprised his role as Gurney Halleck in “Dune: Part Two,” which underscored why this character is so cherished within the well-loved franchise. Despite gearing up to don the suit again for “Dune: Messiah,” Brolin’s calendar remains packed with tasks.

2025 sees Josh Brolin taking on significant roles in two exciting projects: firstly, he’ll be a part of Rian Johnson’s upcoming sequel to the “Knives Out” series titled “Wake Up Dead Man“, and secondly, he’ll be seen in the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s thriller “The Running Man“. In this film, Brolin will portray Dan Killian, the TV producer who oversees a lethal game show. A year later, in 2026, he’s set to appear in the new movie by Zach Cregger, the director of “Barbarian“, entitled “Weapons“.
