Det återstår nu bara fem veckor. Fem ynka, små, korta miniveckor innan den största, dyraste och mest ambitiösa serietidningsfilmen någonsin dundrar upp på biodukarna runt om i landet. Vi pratar naturligtvis om kommande Avengers: Infinity War som Marvel nu marknadsför för fullt via en hel rad olika intervjuer med såväl skådespelarna som folket bakom kameran. I en nygjord snackstund med Cinemablend pratar regissörerna (och brorsorna) Russo om vem Thanos är, hur ondskefull han egentligen är och vad hans motiv är. Tydligen handlar det om en Robert Aschberg-liknande, vindruve-färgad rymdfarbror som är värre än tio stycken Darth Vaders - samtidigt. Vilket såklart låter ytterst problematiskt för våra spandexklädda hjältar.
Anthony Russo:
"Well this movie is sort of triggered by Thanos' decision and an opportunity for him to make a very aggressive move for the stones. More so than he has at any point in the past. A more effective move for the stones than he has in the past. So when Thanos decides to do it, he really goes for it. And he's kind of one step ahead of our heroes through the movie. And he puts them through a lot of pain."
Joe Russo:
"If you took Darth Vader and you multiply him times 10... look, our job with Thanos is to make him the preeminent villain in the Marvel Universe. That is his role in the comics. That's his role in these movies. And in order to be a preeminent villain you have to do some pretty bad things.
As that technology evolves, we are able to bring more and more of what Josh Brolin can do as a performer into the fabric and the texture of what Thanos is in a way that we are extremely excited about, and I know that he is as an actor, our visual effects teams are pretty excited about it; That's, I think, one thing ... just figuring out, again, having such a cursory view of the character in the past, it's almost like now we get to do the flip side of that, where you're going to see every little vein on his face, and every little twitch that Josh does. It's a very, very intimate portrayal and performance."
Spännande, ju. Hur elak tror du att Thanos kommer att vara i filmen?
"I find your lack of proper spandex disturbing!"
