Josh Brolin teases Thanos vs Doctor Doom in Secret Wars
The cinematic world was buzzing at New York Comic Con 2026 this past weekend, as actor Josh Brolin took center stage to promote his upcoming feature film, Whalefall. The project promises a deep dive into the strange and terrifying depths of the ocean, blending the tension of a mystery with the primal fear of the deep.
Directed by Brian Duffield and drawing its inspiration from the novel by Daniel Kraus, Whalefall crafts a narrative that plunges audiences into an unforgettable horror scenario. The story centers on a scuba diver, inspired by the character Austin Abrams from the Resident Evil franchise, who meets a fate far more profound than he anticipated when he is swallowed whole by a colossal sperm whale.
At the heart of this aquatic ordeal is Josh Brolin, who portrays the diver’s father. His role adds a layer of poignant mystery and history to the underwater chase, as the diver is unknowingly searching for the father’s remains precisely when he encounters this immense, living enigma.
The film masterfully juxtaposes the adventurous pursuit of the diver with the terrifying, inescapable reality of the whale’s embrace. It’s a story that asks not just what happens when you meet the unknown, but what secrets lie beneath the waves, and what terrible connections bind the world above and below.
