The actor recalls the conversations he had with directors Joe and Anthony Russo before making Avengers: Infinity, in which Thanos would finally be given a meaty storyline after small cameos in a few earlier Marvel movies.

Brolin said outside of a few instances when he was on set and worked across an actor like Zoe Saldana (who plays Thanos' daughter Gamora in the Marvel movies), he was playing the CGI-built Thanos by himself in a motion capture suit, or one of the Russos would act across from him.

'Deadpool' was hard, he said. Even though it was funny, it was harder. That was more of a business transaction, it was more, 'We need to make this like this, ' whereas I didn't feel that way with 'Avengers.'
