Josh Brolin will apparently be providing the voice of Marvel villain Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy and likely beyond. The character will feature in Guardians and Avengers: Age of Ultron, inevitably setting up  prime villain duties for the climatic Avengers 3.

Comic book fans will already be very familiar with the intergalactic super villain who was teasingly introduced during the final moments of Avengers Assemble. Facing off against Mavel’s entire universe of heroes Thanos is a god like nemesis who wields the power of the Infinity Gauntlet. A weapon closely connected with various artifacts that have already featured in the past Marvel films.
