‘Luke Cage’ & ‘Thanos’ Hang Out in a BTS Photo From MIB 3

Mike Colter, who stars in Marvel’s Luke Cage, has posted a behind-the-scenes picture on Twitter from his work on Men in Black 3 (2012), showing him holding hands with co-star Josh Brolin. Colter also took the opportunity to make a tongue-in-cheek reference to another of Brolin’s characters: the Mad Titan, Thanos.

Brolin played Thanos, the villain of Avengers: Infinity War (in theaters now). Thanks to Luke Cage being part of the Netflix lineup of shows set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Colter’s character technically exists in the same world as Thanos. Therefore, he was at least theoretically vulnerable to “the Snap,” which reduced half of the MCU’s characters to dust.

Ok #joshbrolin aka Thanos i will hold your hand between takes IF you promise to not let your future ⁦@Marvel⁩ character kill my future ⁦@Marvel⁩ character in a future ⁦@Marvel⁩ movie where a lot of us get wiped out
