Eight-time Oscar nomineeGlenn Closewill join fellow MCU actorsJosh BrolinandPeter Dinklagein Legendary’s upcoming comedyBrothers.
Max Barbakow(Palm Springs) will direct from a script byMacon BlairandEtan Cohen, and though the logline is being kept under wraps, it stands to reason that Brolin and Dinklage will be playing brothers of some kind. Both stars are producing the movie withAndrew Lazarof Mad Chance.
Close’s role remains a mystery, but I could certainly see her playing the mother of Brolin and Dinklage’s characters. I can’t imagine it would be too far off from her turn asEd HelmsandOwen Wilson’s mother in the 2017 comedyFather Figures, though here’s hopingBrothersturns out a bit better than that all-too-forgettable movie.

Close recently earned her eighth Oscar nomination forHillbilly Elegy, though the little gold statue continues to elude her. She was previously nominated forThe Wife,Albert Nobbs,Dangerous Liaisons,Fatal Attraction,The Natural,The Big ChillandThe World According to Garp. Close turns in yet another strong performance asMila Kunis' mother in the addiction dramaFour Good Days, which is currently available on VOD.
Close served as an executive producer onCruella, having played the iconic Disney character in the 1996 movie101 Dalmatians. She’ll soon be seen alongsideMahershala Ali,Naomie HarrisandAwkwafinain the indie movieSwan Song, and she is slated to play Norma Desmond in a remake ofSunset Boulevardthat will be produced byRyan Murphy.
As for her MCU credentials, she played Nova Prime inGuardians of the Galaxy, while Dinklage played Eitri inAvengers: Infinity Warand Brolin memorably played Thanos. We’ll see if the three of them recruit any other MCU vets forBrothers, which some are surely hoping resembles the ’80s classicTwinsin one way or another. Oddly enough, the film shares a title with 2009’s Brothers featuring another Marvel trio –Tobey Maguire(Spider-Man: No Way Home),Jake Gyllenhaal(Spider-Man: Far From Home) andNatalie Portman(Thor). What’s next, anotherBrothersmovie starringChris Evans,Chris HemsworthandChris Pratt? Hey, come to think of it…
