The actor – best known for his role as Thanos in Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with Cable in Deadpool 2 – was a recent guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. During the interview, he discussed that he was in a controversy to play Batman for director Jacques Snyder before the director reconciled with Ben Affleck, who debuted in the iconic role in the 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice . “That was interesting to me,” Brolin said of the prospect of playing Caped Crusader. He went on to say that he was willing to play the role if Snyder had not gone in a different direction: “It was his decision – it was not my decision. That was his decision. “ The actor, who won an Oscar nomination for Milk in 2008, added that he particularly liked the role because he likes to take on projects that involve some risk. “Something that has been adjusted to not work at all or to work perfectly – I like these possibilities,” Brolin said. “I like to play with these chances. I say, “Am I the guy who will make it all work out?” This discussion led him to address the role of George Clooney in the often-ridiculed Batman & Robin 1997, with Brolin commenting on the film’s critical response: “You talk to Clooney and he’s still joking about it – and it’s not his fault. ». “Brolin, 54, went on to say that the discussions he had about Batman’s role preceded his work on Deadpool 2, which was released in theaters in May 2018.” “Honestly, it would be a fun deal and I might do it when I’m 80.” This is not the first time the Outer Range singer has talked about getting close to the coveted concert. In 2018, Brolin told the Comic Book Movie that everything went well. “I’m really glad it did not happen,” he said at the time. “I have not thought about it twice.” Affleck, for his part, is set to reprise his role as Batman in The Flash, which will be released on June 23, 2023.
