Tan, with shoulders the perfect size for dragging a rifle through a forest, Marvel actor Josh Brolin might look the part of the rugged male adventurer he's been playing ever since his film debut in The Goonies, but he says he chooses projects like Zach Cregger's Weapons because they remind him of who he doesn't want to be.
"It's a lot of people getting in their own way, their own chaotic way," Brolin tells The Playlist about the Barbarian director's upcoming film, in which he plays a livid father demanding Justine, his son's elementary school teacher (Julia Garner), gives him answers after her class disappears. "I think that's my character until he finally loses something, and realizes how emotional it is for him. Does he start to open up and realize the diamond of the gift he's been given, which is his kid? Maybe."
