It doesn’t mean Brolin (and Thanos) didn’t enjoy crunching the Hulk
with a cheap-shot kick — “I love that Thanos uses a knee. That was
great.” And Brolin was cool with choking out demigod Loki (Tom
Hiddleston), a longtime Marvel favorite. All of this in the first
10 minutes of “Infinity War.”Brolin says he did have sympathy for Hiddleston, who was “obsessed” with nailing what looks to be his last scene as Loki.
“He had been with that character for so long. And he’s so
lauded for doing it,” says Brolin. “Tom was so vulnerable at that
moment. So choking him out wasn’t the most fun thing I have ever done.”But Brolin loves the fan furor on the internet over his lightning rod characters, especially Thanos.
“On Instagram people are posting things like, ‘I hate
you,’ ” says Brolin. “That’s fantastic. I’m, like, the one guy who
smiles when he sees that. It’s like, ‘It worked.’ ”
“What looks to be his last scene”? What happened to the flashbacks in Avengers 4? Were those filmed earlier? Or does it mean last in the fictional timeline, since clearly Marvel has no intention of using whatever time travel shenanigans happen in Avengers 4 to bring back Loki along with the dusted folks?
P.S. clearly Josh Brolin has more respect and compassion for Tom and his/Loki’s fans than the assholes responsible for producing the enormous stinking turd that was “Infinity War” (i.e., Markus & McFeely, the Russos, and Feige).
