AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
Josh Brolin appeared on Conan this week and discussed his preparation for the role of Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor revealed that taking the role was "greatest decision [he's] ever made."
"I didn't know a lot about Thanos," Brolin told O'Brien. "I went into a comic book store wanting to get more information. I walked in and they went apoplectic! I was like, 'What's the deal?' and they were like, 'Thanos! Thanos! Thanos! It's Thanos!'"

Star Ciara Renee spoke about Hawkgirl in an interview with Collider, describing how she fits in without her lifelong companion, Hawkman: "My hope for her is that instead of needing to be the other half of something, she can be a complete human on her own. Just in general, as human beings, we very easily fall into relationships where we get comfortable and we think, 'This is who I am, in this relationship,' and not, 'This is who I am, and also, I'm in this relationship.' So, I think it's really great and it could be a really empowering storyline for females, in general, to see that a woman can be on her own, making her own choices, and finding out who she is, in some pretty super circumstances."
Captain Cold actor Wentworth Miller spoke with TVLine about his character's redemption on "Legends of Tomorrow," saying, "I think Snart was a model of a certain kind of man...He makes certain choices, this is what you can expect. Signed, sealed and delivered. Snart is Snart. And I think Snart has thought of himself in that way -- 'I'm a criminal and that's all there is to me and for me.' On 'Legends,' the door opens a crack and he realizes that maybe redemption is possible, maybe change is possible, maybe growth is possible. Washing your hands clean after you've committed X number of crimes, maybe that too is possible."
