Josh Brolin – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · September 8, 2025

No Country for Old Men gave Josh Brolin the role that relaunched him as a serious dramatic actor, and Avengers: Endgame, over a decade later, made him the face of one of franchise cinema’s biggest villains. Outer Range proves his television work is strong too, Dune adds a steady supporting role, W. plays George W. Bush, and Hail, Caesar! gives him a comic leading-man turn. Milk, True Grit, Sicario and Deadpool 2 round out the list.
