Is Josh Brolin back in the MCU?

As reported by GiantFreakinRobot, Josh Brolin is expected to make a return as Thanos in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2025. It is still unknown which version of Thanos the actor will play, and in what capacity he might return.

Since the events in Loki, variants have become the buzzword, allowing the fans to see different versions of the original characters, such as the different versions of Loki and He Who Remains. This means we might not see the version of Thanos from Endgame, but a different one altogether.

Thanos against Dr. Doom?

Considering the lore established in the Secret Wars comics, we can expect Dr. Doom and Thanos to clash in the movies too. Thanos and his cabal go on a warpath to stop God Doom from remaking the universe in his image after he defeated Kang the Conqueror.

Another reason for his return could be the cameo of his brother Starfox played by Harry Styles at the end of Eternals. Even though the Mad Titan has not been confirmed to be an Eternal, we know from the comics that he is, this could allow the lore of the immortal heroes to be expanded.

Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to release in November 2025.
