You already know that a Thanos snapshot can eliminate half of all lifeforms in existence, but did you know that it can also duplicate all of Josh Brolin’s lifeforms? It’s true, and Brolin demonstrated it in his Variety talk “Actors on Actors,” where he was interviewed by Josh Brolin. The segment wasn’t always meant to be a Donald Glover-inspired idiot session, as the interview was supposed to be between Brolin and his Avengers: Endgame co-star Jeremy Renner. But, as the article’s first sentence explains, the Hawkeye actor was a “last-minute no-show.” No further explanation given. Brolin, stuck, does his best and says things like “I’ve always been a huge fan” and “Thanks man, I appreciate that” to himself. At one point he says he’s always known Thanos as “Black.” -Box theaters in New York in the 70’s or so”. Whether that statement is just a troll or a comment on the socially isolating experience of acting in a mo cap suit somewhere in a Marvel green screen dungeon remains ambiguous.
We reached out to Renner’s rep to ask him why he promoted Brolin. Still no answer. Renner has gone into ghost mode.
