'Thanos': 'Venom' and 'Thor' writer Donny Cates maybe pitching prequel starring Josh Brolin as the Mad Titan
He may have been the villain but let's admit it, Josh Brolin's Thanos was the real star of 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'Avengers: Infinity War'. Now if certain rumors are true, the 'No Country For Old Men' actor may be returning to the role for a Disney+ prequel series and we think we know who's probably scripting it.
According to We Got This Covered, sources say Disney's streaming service is considering a prequel series exploring Thanos's origins on Titan and the events that shaped him into the villain we all love to hate. The rumors haven't been confirmed yet but there's a possibility that Donny Cates, acclaimed writer of the 'Venom' and 'Thor' comics, might be pitching a script for the series.
"Wish me luck tomorrow friends!" Cates wrote on his Twitter on March 30. "Pitching a big new exciting thing to tv/movie folks! I'm so excited! And terrified!"
Cates famously wrote a 'Thanos' series between 2016 and 2018 for Marvel Comics that has since been collected in a volume titled 'Thanos Wins'. The extremely popular series, which explored a distant future where Thanos actually managed to succeed in his plans, is evidence enough that Cates knows what he's doing when it comes to the Mad Titan and if he does get to do a 'Thanos' prequel show, we're sure it will definitely be worth the watch.
Of course, there's always the possibility that the project he's pitching might be based on some other work of his or even a completely original project. If it's the former, we're banking on it being either the horror series 'Redneck' published via Skybound or the fantasy series 'God Country' published through Image Comics.
There's also the chance that it's not a series at all and a movie that's in the works but whatever the project may be, we're sure that Donny Cates has what it takes to make sure it's something to be remembered. We're going to be eagerly waiting to see how this story develops and you can stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
