Actor Josh Brolin may be playing a priest in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, but he didn't need to pray to God to secure the role. Instead, he believes that he may have manifested it himself, an idea that was initially proposed by his wife.
As Brolin, who is arguably best known for portraying super-villain Thanos in the MCU, tells Total Film in our final issue, which features Gladiator 2 on the cover, he mentioned that he wanted to play a priest a year before he was cast in the upcoming Netflix thriller. The actor also praises the film's director Rian Johnson, who has helmed every Knives Out instalment since the first film released in 2019.
