Josh Brolin played Cable in Deadpool and Thanos in Avengers.

I have listened to enough actors on podcasts that say they want interesting roles. (The lone exception is Joshua Malina, who says he does it for the paycheck and doesn’t care but I am pretty sure he’s joking.)

RDJ main issue with Iron Man is that it was repetitive. Marvel (probably more so Disney) squeezed so much blood from that stone that he was just tired of it. Nothing else left to explore.

I’m hoping RDJ can revitalize the franchise but I’m not holding my breath.
