‘Sicario’s Josh Brolin is smiling over his killer summer, even with ‘Avengers’ casualties

twh-news:

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).

Nope don’t believe it!!!

I hope he’s fucking with us, but I doubt it.

Tom is too fucking nice. He should have fought for his character the way RDJ does. I want to hear him say that the makers of the last two movies did him and his work an injustice.

He said he’s known that loki dies in infinty war since before Ragnarok!

Yeah, OK. Did he know he would die gruesomely in the first 5 minutes while doing something incredibly stupid and out of character?

I really, really wish Joss Whedon had still been writing it. He would have given Loki a meaningful role to play in bringing down Thanos – after all, he was the one who planted the connection between them, and he knew what a treasure he had in Hiddleston. He made Loki the sole villain in “The Avengers” after he saw some of the work he had done in “Thor.” He would have given Loki a good death, worthy of the intelligence and complexity of his character.

The amount of articles I see saying “Tom confirms Loki death” it’s officially official floating around the media as final death. I also like the one that comments on him knowing for 2 years and was able to keep it a secret and that lil Tom could learn from him. It’s true but poor lil Tom so picked on.

Yep, Tom 1.0 definitely knows how to keep secrets. 

Tom 2.0 is a sweetheart, though. 

Look, as a fucking grown up, I’m ready to face it if it’s true. As a fan girl, I’m still hanging onto to the fact that if he hid Loki’s death from us for two years, he could he hiding further information about his return.

^^^ THIS

Yeah, I fucking wish. But between the gratuitous graphic gruesomeness of his death, that highly unusual bit of fourth-wall-breaking (“No resurrections this time”), and the way they allowed Loki’s character to be neutered in both Ragnarok and Infinity War, the powers that be at Marvel Studios have made it quite clear how they feel about Loki and his fans.

AAANNNDDD here is the digital!!!!!!! There were special poses allowed and when it was my turn they held me back to do 3 reshoots. so I got to stand there a bit longer and stare!!!  He looked at me and quirked his brow as if to say “what can you do?” I just shrugged and smilled. when it was my turn he shook hands and said nice to meet you, very softly or maybe it sounded soft because everything else was so loud. We posed. His shirt was soft he smelled good and damn that boy is tall!!!! I was hanging on for dear life….. but alas it was over in seconds………but forever in my heart!!!
