Josh Brolin, who plays Thanos, welcomed the idea of his character facing off against Dr. Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr.), but did not comment on the possible outcome of the battle.
Josh Brolin was at New York Comic-Con 2026 last weekend to promote his new movie, Whalefall. Directed by Brian Duffield and based on a novel by Daniel Krauss, this film tells the story of a scuba diver played by Resident Evil actor Austin Abrams who is swallowed whole by a sperm whale. Josh Brolin will play the role of the diver's father; A man was searching for his son's remains before he was swallowed by a whale.
During this event, Polygon news agency spoke with Brolin about the movie Whalefall; The film is scheduled to be released on October 16 (24 Mehr). However, since Brolin has already played Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, he was also asked about the Marvel Universe. With Avengers: Doomsday just around the corner, it looks like Robert Downey Jr.'s version of Doctor Doom may be taking over Brolin's Thanos as the greatest villain in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Because of this, Brolin was asked if Thanos could defeat Doctor Doom.
Apparently Brolin is also intrigued by the idea. In response, he raised the possibility of the confrontation of these two characters in one of the future projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Of course, provided that Marvel Studio agrees to such an event. Brolin replied:
I like the idea of any confrontation with Downey. Honestly, I'm really glad he's playing this role. I can't wait to see it.
However, Brolin did not give a definitive answer about the outcome of such a battle. But if we judge the events of the comics, Doctor Doom will at least be a very strong opponent for Thanos. In the 2015 Secret Wars comic series, Doctor Doom gained the powers of the Beyonders. After confronting Thanos, he pulled out the mad titan's spine along with his skull and ended his life. Due to this incident, we may see the recreation of such a scene in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Avengers: Doomsday will also be released on December 18.
