Jonah Hex : Who Does Josh Brolin Play?

I'm actually curious now to how much better jonah hex would have been if jane was the lead. funny as it is, jane would play hex that same year in a dc showcase animated short.the villain who made jonah hex who he was is quentin turnbull played by john malkovich. this isn't malkovich's first time playing a psychopath but it seemed like he couldn't give his character enough energy to make him seem truly hell-bent on destroying the union.

In fact, i would be more inclined to think less about the good, the bad and the ugly or once upon a time in the west and more along the lines of hellboy or the crow when seeing this movie. the story begins almost immediately as jonah hex (josh brolin), tied up outside his home and approached by a villainous confederate general, quentin turnbull (john malkovich), who we learn, is proclaiming vengeance for the death of his son, kills the only family hex had, and then branding him with a mark he will never forget.supranaturally, hex dies and is brought back to life by a native american tribe. hex, reborn, now has the ability to speak to the dead, and his first order of business; find and kill quentin turnbull.i will say right now, this movie had no aspirations of being serious.

As he was not a traditional superhero, jonah hex never amassed a "rogues' gallery" comparable to that of other costumed comic-book heroes such as batman or the flash, though he had a few adversaries who returned from time to time. the first and most notable of these to date was quentin turnbull, who was initially known only as the "man with the eagle-topped cane". turnbull was the father of hex's oldest friend, jeb turnbull.
