Josh Brolin Cast as Thanos in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'

Variety is reporting that their sources have confirmed Josh Brolin has been cast for the role of "Thanos" in Guardians of the Galaxy.

There has been much speculation regarding the galactic-scale super-villain ever since he appeared in the stinger for Marvel's Avengers. First, there was speculation that he was the main villain for Avengers 2 until it was announced that the plot for that movie would follow the storyline for Age of Ultron. Some also suspect that the item Star Lord (What, you haven't heard of him?) is trying to steal in the trailers for GotG is yet another Infinity Stone. Add to that, mentions of Infinity Stones (aka the Infinity Gems in the comics) and the Tesseract (aka the Cosmic Cube) as well as the actual visual of the Infinity Gauntlet in the first Thor movie. Did you blink and miss it?

*SPOILERS AHOY*

Sin City sequel signs up Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin

Remember that Sin City sequel Robert Rodriguez kept saying he was going to make year after year? Looks like it’s still rolling along, and with exciting casting news.

Courtesy Dread Central, we learned of the casting of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Johnny (a role that was originally offered to Johnny Depp years ago). Also, Josh Brolin will be playing Clive Owen's character Dwight - before he had his faced altered, of course. This raises the question, will Owen return to play post-face surgery Dwight? We will have to wait and see.

The sequel is set to be released Oct. 4, 2013, by Dimension films, and production is already under way in Austin, Texas. The film will weave together tales from Frank Miller's graphic novels, along with new stories. The Dame story focuses on Dwight being hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord (as yet uncast). The story takes place prior to "The Big Fat Kill," which was featured in the original 2005 Sin City movie.

So far the film has assembled a cast including original actors Mickey Rourke as "Marv," Jessica Alba as "Nancy," Rosario Dawson as "Gail" and Jaime King as "Goldie/Wendy" with new cast members Dennis Haysbert as "Manute" and Jamie Chung as "Miho" joining the action.

The first film brought that black and white panel look to life, with accurately represented characters and scenes with a violent tone and classically appropriate soundtrack. I think it’s safe to assume that it will be the same style. After all, it wouldn’t really be Sin City without it.
