Josh Brolin has recently spoken out about the roles that came his way and that he let fly right past him, with one in particular being part of a project that ended up making a truckload of money. During his appearance on The Happy Sad Confused podcast, in which he admitted to wanting to return to the MCU as Infinity Stone obsessive, Thanos, Brolin also revealed that James Cameron offered him the gig of Pandora-loathing bad guy, Colonel Miles Quatrich, in the Avatar films.
While not naming specifically the character he was considered for, Brolin did confirm the star who got the part, instead. “It was Stephen Lang,” Brolin explained, who plays the franchise's big bad. “Who I knew, and I was very happy for him. He’s amazing in it. So, it happened exactly as it should have. I’m a big believer in things happen like they should.”
Regardless of what had come down the grapevine, though, Brolin made it clear his reasons for not wanting to be involved. “I don’t know if that’s the case with him because I don’t know him well enough. But it was based on the [project]. It wasn’t based on him.”
