Finally! After seeing photos of Megan Fox in Jonah Hex, we finally have our first look at Josh Brolin as the title character and our anti-hero, Jonah Hex. The buzz for this movie first began last year when Thomas Jane donned some make-up to shoot a few promo shots of himself as Jonah Hex in order to impress the filmmakers. Alas, he did't get the job, Brolin did instead, but it was that photo that kicked off everyone's interest in seeing Jonah Hex come to life on the big screen. Now we get to see what Brolin looks like with the disfigured face and it's a pretty fitting look for the actor. Maybe Brolin was the better choice after all?

These photos come from Lainey Gossip, a blog about all things Diane Lane (who would've guessed?). The story in this movie will follow Jonah Hex, as seen above, a disfigured bounty hunter who tracks a voodoo practitioner that wants to raise an army of the undead to liberate the South. Former Pixar animator Jimmy Hayward, who is a big fan of both comics and westerns, is directing. I think this looks great so far, it's easily one of my most anticipated upcoming movies of next year, mainly because I'm excited to see the western and comic book movie genres come together. Plus, Brolin looks like he'll be kicking some ass. Thoughts?
