2018 is certainly proving to be a huge year for Josh Brolin. He’s defeated Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as the villainous Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, tussled with Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth as Cable in Deadpool 2, and returns to the big screen once again this coming week in the Sicario sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
Now, speaking to The New York Times (via The Playlist), Brolin has revealed that he has just sold a TV show – dubbed ‘The Untitled Josh Brolin Project’ – to streaming service Hulu, which will see him portraying a fictionalised version of himself.
The series, which is said to be in the very early stages of development, will follow “a soulless movie star named Josh Brolin who leaves Hollywood, has an ayahuasca trip and becomes a self-help guru.”
Sicario: Day of the Soldado opens on June 29th [read our review here]. Meanwhile, Brolin will be back on the big screen as Thanos in April 2019 with the release of the as-yet-untitled Avengers 4, and is also gearing up to reprise the role of Cable in X-Force, which is expected to start shooting later this year.
