Josh Brolin decided to stop being ironic and play the promotional game wisely. In fact, very recently, he decided to promote Dune, part two, in which he plays Gurney Halleck, with a completely crazy description of the film by Denis Villeneuve. In his enthusiasm, he intervened this time too, in particular, to say all the bad things that he still thinks of one of the (very rare) turnips of his filmography.

Thereby, Jonah Hex will always remain a dramatic failure for Josh Brolin – who distinguished himself in a different and global way in the superhero genre with his role as Thanos in the MCU -, and the actor does not intend to soften his criticisms, while at least exempting his director from judgment total. responsibility for the fiasco.
