Avengers: Infinity Wars To Be Retitled

[ZariusTwo]

http://411mania.com/movies/avengers-infinity-war-films-to-get-new-titles/

In an interview with Uproxx, directors Joe and Anthony Russo revealed that Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 and Part 2 will eventually get new titles.

When asked where they planned on splitting the film, they said that they aren’t splitting it because both movies are “entirely different”.

Joe said: “The movies are two very different movies.”

Anthony said it was “misleading” to have them labeled as “Part 1” and “Part 2”.

Joe added: “The intention is we will change it, we just haven’t come up with the titles yet. But, yes, we will change it. And, yes, that is a scoop: we will retitle them.”

Whatever the films end up getting called, the first of the two movies arrives in 2018, with the second film coming in 2019.

[NinjaPug]

This is a good move imo. All of the interviews with the Russo brothers, Markus and McFeely make it seem like these two movies, while still connected, really stand on their own individually. I hope this isn't just lip service on their part. I bet the 2nd movie will still be title Infinity War.

[TigerClaw]

Maybe the 1st one will keep the title Infinity War, and they can just change the title of the 2nd one to whatever.

[TonySiegel]

hopefully its something epic...

[ZariusTwo]

I think they ought to make one part "Disassembled" and have Wanda as the villain. Obviously since that story leads into House of M, they'd have to be pretty creative about the ending so it no longer ties into that, but it'd be a natural lead-off from Civil War and what happens to Wanda there.

I could see that. One of the Russos commented on Wanda's arc going forward that could lead to that:

Certainly Scarlet Witch and Vision. It’s a very compelling story. Obviously, it’s one ripped from the comics that, for many years, there was some very interesting storytelling and characters. One character is searching for how to identify with humanity, another who is on a journey away from her humanity towards becoming a very powerful being.

[Andrew NDB]

I dunno... everything thing I'm reading is, the first film is all about Thanos gathering the gems, and the second one is all about him using them in his gauntlet.

You know... kind of like it's Part 1 and Part 2.

[sdp]

What they mean is that it may be a storyline that continues like Star Wars but they don't want people to think it's like Harry Potter/Hunger Games/Twilight where they litteraly cut a story in half to make it two movies.


Is this really thread worthy though? Counting how many Marvel movies come out each year and each one gets a thread for discussion we don't really need more than one thread for each movie, so unless this becomes the "Infinity War" discussion thread maybe it would be better to have a MCU general thread were these smaller announcements can be posted but we still don't have a trailer/discussion thread.

[AT-Man]

This is great news, because I hate it when a movie is split in half. Make it two whole, complete movies.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I dunno... everything thing I'm reading is, the first film is all about Thanos gathering the gems, and the second one is all about him using them in his gauntlet.

You know... kind of like it's Part 1 and Part 2.

The one-year break between them, with other Marvel films littered in between, makes me feel like while they follow the same plot thread, they don't necessarily continue one right after another, like the last two HP films did. It won't abruptly end on a cliffhanger.

[ToTheNines]

I hope they get the Masters of Evil together for at least part 1. Obviously don't use that sh*t name, but a similar line up.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I hope they get the Masters of Evil together for at least part 1. Obviously don't use that sh*t name, but a similar line up.

It's the perfect way to introduce the Real Mandarin without having to do Iron Man 4, plus bring back the likes of Red Skull and Abomination...

[TheSkeletonMan939]

the likes of Red Skull and Abomination...

Hugo Weaving did not enjoy his time as the Red Skull. If he were asked to do it again he would be contractually obligated to, but I think the MCU has moved on by now.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Hugo Weaving did not enjoy his time as the Red Skull. If he were asked to do it again he would be contractually obligated to, but I think the MCU has moved on by now.

He's a guy in a red skull mask with a German accent. Trust me, if Marvel can recast Rhodey and the freaking Hulk, they can recast Red Skull without anybody getting their panties in a bunch.

[AT-Man]

Red Skull's human face is only a mask after all, so it can look like anything. Even black!

[Andrew NDB]

I was actually annoyed at how much Red Skull wore the Hugo Weaving face mask. We want to see Red Skull's red skull. It was almost as annoying as Spider-Man 3, when Venom's face kept morphing back to Topher Grace's... for f**k's sake, we want to see VENOM at this point.

[ToTheNines]

It's the perfect way to introduce the Real Mandarin without having to do Iron Man 4, plus bring back the likes of Red Skull and Abomination...

Abomination! Hell yeah!

Real Mandarin would be great, he could be the Iron Man foil since there's no Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash and Monger are dead. It'll be weird if he's never introduced... I suppose it was 3 whole years ago, but they we're doing some heavy hinting between the IM3 prelude comics and All Hail The King.

He's a guy in a red skull mask with a German accent. Trust me, if Marvel can recast Rhodey and the freaking Hulk, they can recast Red Skull without anybody getting their panties in a bunch.

This. Plus, I just watched the director's commentary for Age of Ultron. It was very interesting to me that when Whedon was explaining the Thanos post-credits scene he said "Loki failed... Red Skull failed... Ronan failed, now he's gonna do it himself".

I'd say we're definitely seeing more Skull someday.

Daamn. That's... a game changer. Methinks it speaks more of their confidence of the deal they've struck to get Galactus and F4 and Surfer and all whereas before it was like, "Ehhhh.... where exactly do we go after Thanos? Let's make this two movies mmm-kay?"

[ToTheNines]

So you think Thanos will be dealt with in the first one?

That report is misleading. All Disney/Marvel did is announce that the 1st movie is called Infinity War and the second is currently untitled. The Wrap is wrong (as usual) in assuming this means the 2nd part isn't related to Thanos. They wouldn't be filming both movies at the same time if that was the case.

[Cure]

Does the word "crossover" even mean anything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Not really, now that you mention it.

I suppose it will mean something again if Agents of SHIELD or the Defenders are ever explicitly acknowledged on the big screen. Until then... nope.

Infinity War and the 4th movie will mark the end and a new beginning for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_infinity_war/avengers-infinity-war-and-its-sequel-will-mark-an-a144691

Talking to IGN recently, Anthony Russo explained why these movies are going to mark both a natural ending and new beginning for the MCU as we know it. "I can't get into too much detail about who we're introducing, but these two movies are intended to be the culmination of everything that has happened in the MCU since the very first Iron Man movie. In being a culmination, these movies are in some ways going to be an end to certain things, and in some ways, they're going to be the beginning of certain things." With so many new heroes in Phase 3, could we get a New Avengers?

That remains to be seen, but the director went on to explain whether they're choosing which characters to focus on by preference or for the sake of story. "It's a little bit of both, because you always have to make sure that your choices feel organic to the storytelling, and really, you have to sort of structure them in the way that they need to be there. You have to have them, or they shouldn't be in the movie. It's a little bit of a dance between the two, where you have big eyes, and you want everybody included in the movie, but you have to go through the process of... what's the best story that you can tell." Which direction would you like to see the MCU go in during Phase 4?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I hope that report turns out to be true. The Incredible Hulk doesn't get too much love from the rest of the MCU.

[ToTheNines]

It might be bull ****, but the Russo's obviously have love for TIH.

If she's in it, hopefully she's not merc'd by Widow in her first 30 seconds of screen time :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

I hope that report turns out to be true. The Incredible Hulk doesn't get too much love from the rest of the MCU.

They even did the whole "Luke Cage" show set in Harlem, exactly where Incredible Hulk's climax happened... not one mention.

Though apparently, somehow Abomination was about one inch away from actually being in Avengers: Age of Ultron. If I had to guess where, I'd imagine the Avengers were going to try and use Abomination to put down Crazed Hulk instead of with Iron Man's Hulkbuster suit.

[ToTheNines]

They even did the whole "Luke Cage" show set in Harlem, exactly where Incredible Hulk's climax happened... not one mention.

Yeah, that was a big miss. I was SURE they would reference it when Luke and Diamondback were slugging it out and tearing up the neighborhood right in the middle of the street in the last episode. No such luck.

Coulson did mention that Blonsky was being held in a secret remote facility in Alaska back in season 1 of AOS.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Though apparently, somehow Abomination was about one inch away from actually being in Avengers: Age of Ultron. If I had to guess where, I'd imagine the Avengers were going to try and use Abomination to put down Crazed Hulk instead of with Iron Man's Hulkbuster suit.

That would have been so much better than the contrived sh*tshow we got, where Iron Man got tough enough armor and that was somehow enough to put him down.

[ToTheNines]

Hulkbuster armor is a thing, though. And Banner even helped design it.

Age of Ultron had many problems, that wasn't one of them.

[Andrew NDB]

Coulson did mention that Blonsky was being held in a secret remote facility in Alaska back in season 1 of AOS.

Oh yeah. That lends credence to Age of Ultron, the Avengers being able to utilize him. AOS was probably even trying to better set that up, but then Whedon (or whoever) decided to go Hulkbuster instead.

Hell, both might have been fun. Tony uses the Hulkbuster suit to buy time until Abomination can be dropped. Or something.

[ToTheNines]

Hell, both might have been fun. Tony uses the Hulkbuster suit to buy time until Abomination can be dropped. Or something.

Yeah, but if the Russo's can use him in 3 or 4... I'll be glad they didn't blow their load in Age of Ultron.

So about a $500 million budget for Infinity War and a $500 million budget for Avengers 4?

That's... substantial. The highest budgets on any Marvel movies ever have been half of that, $250,000, and that was only on Age of Ultron and Civil War. Hopefully this means we'll see Agents of SHIELD on it, and the Netflix foos. One great big celebration of the whole MCU.

[NinjaPug]

That is quite substantial. I read somewhere that James Cameron wanted $1 billion for the next four Avatar movies. Granted those have nowhere near the cast of these movies. I think the highest documented production budget is still at $300 million for one of the Pirates movies.

No way Marvel Studios would've gotten that budget if they were still under Ike.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Feige would've had to go around Ike and get Alan Horn or Iger himself involved. I believe he had to do something similar to get approval to sign RDJ for Civil War because Ike didn't want to pay him what he was asking.

I'd kill for another Losers movie. Damn good cast... Idris, Zoe, Morgan, and Evans... yowza.

[ProphetofGanja]

Does anybody else think Infinity War might be the jumping of the shark for the MCU? I recently rewatched every movie and most of them still hold up pretty well, but the bigger these stories become the harder it is to pull off that balancing act.

Case in point, Avengers: Age of Ultron probably had the most large-scale story so far, and it was kinda bad, too big and bloated, but Captain America: Civil War had a ton of things going on and it did a much better job of telling a cohesive story.

All that said, I'm forever a Marvel fan so I'm probably more easy-to-please than the average movie-goer when it comes to these properties. I even feel like the movies have been doing a better job of telling stories than many of the Marvel comics these days

[sdp]

I think the quality will be relatively the same but that the B.O. will start to decline after it but that's more of a superhero movie fatigue.

[ZariusTwo]

I even feel like the movies have been doing a better job of telling stories than many of the Marvel comics these days

Much as I loath most of the Marvel movies, you're not wrong there. The Comics wing of the brand is trash and has sustained some of it's worst critical and sales lows in recorded history since the 90s lately.

[Andrew NDB]

The difference there being Whedonisms vs. The competence of Markus and McFeeley. Those two really know the MCU.

With good reason. Have you seen what they've been doing over the past few years? Shameful.

Things were looking up, years ago. Especially Waid's DD and Fraction's Hawkeye. But yeah, as of late... I was excited to pick up #1 of the new Hawkeye (starring Kate Bishop, one of my favorite characters ever), and it ended up featuring her going after an alt-right troll cyberbullying a queer college student journalist. Jeez.

[AquaParade]

I thought the initial "Marvel Now" relaunch was full of exciting ideas and creative teams.

All of a sudden, I take a look at Marvel comics and wonder what happened. They really did have a promising new start in 2012/2013. Or so it felt like.

Their whole line is basically event-driven at this point. I'm not usually one to get up-in-arms; I'll just walk away and stop buying, but the current trend at Marvel is pretty insulting to fans. That's in regard to the amount of books being negatively affected by events, as well as the delays and extension of events. These events are selling but the reception is terrible and it's causing damage to the books surrounding it both quality and sales-wise.

That, and the way they seem to interact with fans online through social media. I understand that they deal with a lot of non-sense, but Axel and some of their other editors come off as petty/unprofessional in a lot of their responses to fan questions. It feels like they deal with a few bad eggs an decide to treat their whole fanbase like idiots.

With good reason. Have you seen what they've been doing over the past few years? Shameful.

Could you be more specific if you have time? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on things they need to improve.

I don't know where they get it (two heads better than one?) but the Russo brothers have a great penchant for managing large-scale ideas efficiently and effectively. They know how characters would and should interact and their editors are very good at bouncing the audience around before they get too bored of one thing.

Not Whedon. Hoooo-boy not Whedon. His fight scenes drag on, the dialogue is grating, and his characters seem very shallow because all he can ever attribute to them are numbskull quips.

Civil War has some problems, but none of them are as blatant or as confusing as Age of Ultron's. So glad he's not returning to the MCU. Being generous, I'd give AoU a 4/10, and the first Avengers a 6/10. Walked out of the theater very dismayed both times.

[Andrew NDB]

Their whole line is basically event-driven at this point

Sure looks like it. And it's not even, like, original events. It's all sequels to previous events.

"Civil War 2," "Secret Wars 22," "Infinity [insert random name, starring Thanos]."

I will say that I was left with a much better impression of Avengers: Age of Ultron when I watched it at home, and I could take breaks to get snacks or go to the bathroom or just take a breather. Seriously, a movie can only be so long before "more is more" is no longer true. It's all about balance. And I enjoyed the first Avengers right off the bat, but like I said I have a soft spot for Marvel

Sure looks like it. And it's not even, like, original events. It's all sequels to previous events.

"Civil War 2," "Secret Wars 22," "Infinity [insert random name, starring Thanos]."

Yeah, these universe-spanning events have got to stop. But I don't even think I can go back to reading pretty much any Marvel comics anymore, the illusion has been shattered. Continuity is a lie in a universe that has gone on this long and where so much has happened but somehow all the characters are always returning to their status quo.

I like to read comics where things matter and the stories are driven as much by the characters as the events they find themselves caught up in

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I actually found AoU mercifully short, considering I had to pee the whole time in the theater and didn't want to miss anything. :tlol:

That scene was 50% of everything good in Apocalypse. Pizza dog!!!

What was the other 50%?

I just thought that scene was silly. The entire X-mansion has like 10 milliseconds to live, and Quicksilver happens to show up at just the right moment, but at the same time isn't able to save Havoc. It's just such bizarre writing.

Thinking back... Cyclops in school, and Mystique rescuing Nightcrawler from the cage fight.

That is literally all I liked about that movie. About 20 minutes of material, if that.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Wow, you enjoyed it more than me then. Well, I guess I enjoyed the entire film in the same way one enjoys Spider-Man 3 - laughing at its complete absurdity. I really liked the part where they teleported onto the helicopter and then immediately wished they hadn't, because the writers couldn't think of a better way to get them to the Weapon-X facility.

Even the main titles sequence was weird.

Please, please, please don't say that you enjoyed the movie less than I did. :tlol: I'm probably being too generous with that 20 minutes estimate.

Would people more familiar with the movie say 10 minutes? 5 minutes a scene seems much more reasonable than 10 minutes... the Mystique rescue wasn't very long at all.

Spider-Man 3 's problem is simple. It was too much to juggle. One one hand you have the natural story Raimi wanted to tell which featured Sandman as the true killer of Uncle Ben. This incorporated the black suit. Yet it was not to become Venom until a fourth film. Two films were shoehorned into one and it still left plots dangling like the whole marriage proposal thing. Harry sudden forcing MJ into a relationship was odd and the John Travolta inspired strut was unitentional comedy. It was catering to creative team and fan demands and it resulted into Spider-Man 3. Amazing Spider-Man 2 did nearly the same thing and was not nearly as interesting. I would argue the speed up Green Goblin/Harry bit that lead to Gwen's inevitable fate was much less cohesive than Venom/Eddie and Harry's fate and not nearly as interesting.

Yeah, but didn't Raimi want to do Vulture and Black Cat in the fourth movie, not Venom?

[MikeandRaph87]

Yeah, but didn't Raimi want to do Vulture and Black Cat in the fourth movie, not Venom?

At one time there was a potential six movie deal which would have had the fourth and fifth filmed back to back starting January 2010,but it was walked away from due to studio meddling. I do believe you are correct that Vulture and Black Cat were scheduled for the fourth film,and Raimi had Venom planned for the fifth. Fans wanted Venom and the Vulture is an old man with a flying harness. I would much rather see Venom than Vulture,but film quality is more important then getting favorite villains especially when your favorite is promised.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, there was no version of Spider-Man 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 that Raimi was ever involved with that one could say, "Raimi wanted to do Venom in this one." It was always the studio. He relented.

[Coola Yagami]

The problem with marvel (and DC) is they should just end. You're right, you can't have them do all this stuff for years and somehow return to status quo. Then you have events and event sequels, in DC's case the new 52 and rebirth.

So you have to either reboot from day 1, let the new people take over and permanently retire the originals without returning to status quo... or just end it. Just end the marvel and DC universe for good.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Venom has always drawn interest for some reason. Even I like him, as well as Carnage. There's something strangely charismatic about him.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Venom yes; Carnage? Not so much. He was a serial killer and sociopath before the symbiote. After the symbiote he was just a sociopathic serial killer WITH POWERS. And not even HALF the personality of someone like Joker.

I wouldn't say "end", but yeah, they need to evolve, do something.

It's like no matter how much happens in their comics, ultimately nothing changes, everything stays the same.

We all know that as long as the Big Two think they can make money with their comics, they'll keep printing them with no end in sight. I think that's why I've come to prefer smaller-scale stories, something with either a predestined ending or that is resigned to allow the story to go where it will, rather than making sure that every so often the big reset button gets pushed, putting all the pieces back in their starting places.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

And that is why my comic series script for a mutant son of Spidey will probably never see the light of day post-OMD/BND. The powers that be at Marvel would rather he be the eternal angsty early 20-something than allow him to grow and evolve in any realistic way. Which includes parenthood and family life apparently(Renew Your Vows notwithstanding).

So, any guesses as to what they'll call Avengers 4? I feel like Marvel is having a hard time coming up with movie titles that don't end in "war". If it were up to me I'd go with something like "Gauntlet of Death", if Thanos is indeed going to be courting her, or maybe just Gauntlet of Thanos.

"Death" is too dark for kid-friendly PG13 movie titles. That ain't gonna happen.

I think it will be Infinity _____. Infinity Aftermath? Infinity Crusade? Infinity Watch? Those are real Marvel event titles. One of those, or something close.

Or maybe just Infinity Gauntlet? I don't know, I almost feel like A4 should've been the one titled Infinity War, as Thanos is likely to gather all the gems/stones (still don't know why they changed the name) in A3 and then the heroes will actually have to combat the full-power of the Infinity Gauntlet in the second one, but whatever.

At this point I feel like we know the basic plot points the next two Avengers movies are going to hit, so I'm getting real curious as to what Marvel's plans are for Phase 4

I don't think that's really the plan anymore, if it ever really was to begin with. We'll get the beginning, middle, and end in Infinity War, and it'll present some kind of a game changer. The fourth will likely deal with that game changer. Maybe as he dies in Infinity War, Thanos warps reality into something else, and A4 is about them correcting that reality or something.

Is that show decent? I wanted a Marvel show to watch (other than the Netflix offerings) but I don't want to spend a lot of time on something with little payoff and I don't watch much network television. And then with the first thing the show did being Agent Coulson's resurrection or retconning of his death being faked, it just put me off. If he was an LMD I'd be into it. I admit I do kinda want to watch the season with the Ghost Rider storyline.

Huh. Seems like the titles are backwards, then, doesn't it?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Huh. Seems like the titles are backwards, then, doesn't it?

It really does...

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Infinity War - the various factions use the stones in their separate states to attack each other
Infinity Gauntlet - Thanos grabs all the stones and puts them on

[Andrew NDB]

Infinity War - the various factions use the stones in their separate states to attack each other

That seems horribly unsatisfying.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

How so? You've got to get all the stones in one place somehow.

[NinjaPug]

So basically this is a 2 part movie like originally planned.

Thanos and the Black Order collect the Infinity Stones in Part I. Thanos then wields the Gauntlet and the ensuing aftermath is Part II.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

After the lukewarm reception to the last two Hunger Game movies, and I think there was a Divergent two-parter that never materialized, Feige's probably trying to distance Avengers 3 and 4 from that formula so that people aren't turned off.

[ProphetofGanja]

I guess I can see how either order would work, War/Gauntlet or Gauntlet/War.

I never for a moment believed that the story was going to be completely resolved at the end of A3, but I figured Marvel's emphasis that this is not a Part I/Part II situation would mean that there's more breathing space between the two, that they're not going to end A3 with a super dramatic will-they-live-will-they-die cliffhanger

[NinjaPug]

It would be pretty cool if they ended Infinity War with Thanos using the newly formed Gauntlet to wipe out half of the population. Doubt that happens though especially with 2 MCU movies before A4.

[Andrew NDB]

I'm just trying to imagine Infinity War ending with the Avengers sort of winning a little battle, and Thanos running away like, "Hahaha... next time I'll have you! And now I have my gauntlet fully loaded!"

That would be lame. Anything remotely close to that would be lame.

[Coola Yagami]

A smarter thing will be the avengers winning actually helping Thanos gather all the gems. It would seem like a victory but it would be 'all part of the plan' for Thanos.

The hard part is ending it in a way for other movies to happen in between of this and the grand finale.

There's that, too. Though the movies in between could technically take place after 4... though that's not very suspenseful.

They've held this cinematic universe for over ten years by the time this movie comes out, they know they can't "keep up" with them teasing things.

That's why they've made plenty of mentions that this would be "the end" of the current one and that Phase 4 might not even be in "phases" and a "new start".

They have a strategy going forward which we'll see in due time. Whether it succeeds or fails is another story.

[Spike Spiegel]

Hopefully, we'll see even more obscure characters in stories that aren't as tightly bound to the ongoing continuity.

For instance, if they're planning on giving Hulk more of an arc, maybe we'll see a certain cousin of his cameo in a season of "Daredevil" and we can have a procedural She-Hulk series.

I wonder what's the story going to be with Spider-Man's new suit? Literally the whole point of Homecoming was his character arc in learning that he doesn't need a fancy suit to be Spider-Man. If he'd accepted the suit at the end of the movie, that'd have been a betrayal of everything he'd learned in the movie.

Now in Avengers 3 it's, what? "I don't need a fancy suit to be Spider-Man... except when I do"?

Based on the trailer of Avengers 3, Thor Ragnarok will most likely end with a post credit sequence of him running into the Guardians.

I guess that's true. That'd sure be pretty sloppy, though.

[Coola Yagami]

It's hard to not go into mega spoilers category but at the very least, Thor needs to somehow end up floating in space at the end of this movie to somehow make the trailer scene we saw in Avengers 3 make sense.

The more I think about it the more I think it may be another Ant-Man/Civil War scenario; the post-credits scene in Thor: Ragnarok may just be the footage from Avengers: Infinity War where Thor crashes into the Guardians' ship.

I'm content to wait for the trailer to be released officially so I can watch it in HD but goddamn if they aren't taking their sweet ass time with it

The Russo's posted a picture of the number 3 on there instagram so people are speculating.

Kind of looks like Scarlet Witch became Doctor Crusher in between films.

That could mean the trailer debuts in three days or on the 3rd of December.

If footage keeps leaking maybe they'll expedite it, but it seems like they're content to take their sweet-ass time and let momentum build until they premiere the trailer whenever they please.

These Vanity Fair covers are a good sign that it's soon at least, finally

Yeah, but it could mean either 3 days, or 3 weeks, who knows, also we are 2 weeks and 3 days away til The Last Jedi, maybe it will debut during the week of its release?

But I really hope its this Thursday.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I thought the trailer didn't come out until Star Wars VIII?

[plastroncafe]

Goodness!
Lookit all the pretty people!

(and does it look like Rocket has a Stan Lee puppet to anyone other than me?)

I kind of hope it's exclusively attached to SW VIII. Just in case VIII sucks, at least there'll be that.

Honestly, the "let's see how we can change Black Widow's hair in the next Marvel thing" is getting a bit tired. Unless she's actually trying to infiltrate a place in deep cover it just seems a bit vain. "New global level apocalyptic threat? Better change my hair up."

[Candy Kappa]

I'd imagine she dyed her hair blonde as a part of staying off the grid from Ross' kill list from Civil War

So why is their countdown going from 2 to 0?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Maybe they realized at the last second that the Jurassic World 2 trailer drops Thursday as well and wanted to get a head start.

[Vicky82]

So why is their countdown going from 2 to 0?

Probably because the trailer for the new Jurassic park movie is coming out on Thursday so Marvel decided to release the Avengers trailer earlier.

[NinjaPug]

Wasn't the Thursday release for Jurassic Park already shot down by Universal?

I think Marvel is wielding the bigger gun with Infinity War anyway. No need to run from JP.

Jurassic World which many predicted would bomb that summer outperformed the "big" movie of the summer Avengers 2 and even made Star Wars numbers by giving The Force Awakens a run for its money. It also outgrossed the first Avengers and every Marvel movie.

I'm not saying it was the reason for moving up the trailer, but it's not that far-fetched as you try to state.

Funny enough the JW material leaked accidentally and wasn't supposed to come out until the weekend since the JW2 trailer is meant for Dec. 7th.

It doesn't seem like it will be retitled. Fake news!

[ProphetofGanja]

It doesn't seem like it will be retitled. Fake news!

It was going to be called Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1 but now it is just Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 will have a different title. They wanted to emphasize that it is two complete movies being made, rather than one big one split in half. Whether or not that's the case, we'll see in May

[TigerClaw]

The only person that can change the title of this thread, is the Mod at the moment.

[Andrew NDB]

They wanted to emphasize that it is two complete movies being made, rather than one big one split in half.

Even though it sounds like that's exactly what it is.

Infinity War: Thanos shows up and gets all the gems and isn't defeated. Nobody dies.

Avengers 4: Thanos is defeated and people (Iron Man for sure, it really sounds like) die.

[sdp]

I hope they don't kill Tony Stark before getting Iron Man 4...I really hoped he would be in an Iron Man 4 in the future to redeem him from 3.

Also, I like that threads here in the Drome keep their original titles "New Avatar movie to be announced before 2014" and it's still the thread we bump as the new movie comes out :lol:

Oh we're witnessing something historical right here, can't wait for the release!

[NinjaPug]

Slightly underwhelming but only in comparison to the D23 footage. I wanted HD footage of Thanos throwing the moon.

I'm still amazed at the size of this cast. I hope they pull these two movies off.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Not enough Guardians of the Galaxy. :tlol:

Does anyone else think the CGI on Thanos looks a little weak? Uncanny valley is the correct phrase, I think?

Here's the new Synopsis.
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/avengers/avengers_infinity_war/new-synopsis-for-avengers-infinity-war-teases-death-and-sacrifice-for-marvels-heroes-a155869
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. “Avengers: Infinity War” releases in U.S. theaters on May 4, 2018.

[sdp]

I kind of wish this wasn't an Avengers film and they kept Avengers films about the Avengers and this was just a crossover movie "Marvel Presents: Infinity War".

[Andrew NDB]

I hope they don't kill Tony Stark before getting Iron Man 4...

They don't. He's been on set in costume on the Avengers 4 shoot pretty much the whole time. Some of the people snapping pics on set describe one scene with Iron Man getting into costume as, "everyone saying goodbye to him" scene. They're totally going to Bruce-Willis-in-Armageddon him in A4.

I kind of wish this wasn't an Avengers film and they kept Avengers films about the Avengers and this was just a crossover movie "Marvel Presents: Infinity War".

Yeah, me too. What's wrong with just "Infinity War" with the Marvel logo above it? I kind of wish they'd have done that with Civil War, too.

Exactly, the Marvel brand is big enough for them to do it, they didn't need Captain America or Avengers here. I'm guessing it's more of a "how do we up the stakes in the solo movies that aren't Avengers.

The problem with Tony dying is he's still the most charismatic hero, they already did the sacrifice your life bit in the first Avengers movie, they already "retired" the character in the first movie of phase 2 with Iron Man 3.

They can use him less and even less guest appearances but why kill the most iconic character to the MCU, that got Disney to buy Marvel, and became an A-list hero because of his movies. A final Iron Man 4 would be a great send off, it's not like RDJ needs to do many stunts.

You do need to kill some heroes to up the stakes but the MCU has plenty by now why not another Avenger or Fury? If an actor wants out then just recast them a la 007, no need to "reboot" anything, superhero stories are timeless, I want new stories not re-starting every 10 years. But I guess "What should Marvel do after IW part 2/Phase 4 is another thread topic entirely.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Pretty cool teaser. It's pretty sad when Marvel is doing this well with their Cinematic Universe while DC can't even brake past $96 million.

[Redeemer]

Really great trailer, my only concern with the movie is the size of the cast, Its going to be really hard to give everyone a fair amount of screen time. I am really glad they broke this up into two movies.

[AT-Man]

Yeah, me too. What's wrong with just "Infinity War" with the Marvel logo above it? I kind of wish they'd have done that with Civil War, too.

The movies titled "Avengers" have made the most money, so it's really a no-brainer.

I loved this teaser! Had to watch it again, which I haven't done with any other teasers or trailers, unless they're shown before a movie in a theater. Seems like Thanos' forces invade the whole planet and the heroes have to fight them in different locations at the same time. This is one of the rare instances where I want the movie to be at least 3 hours long.

[CyberCubed]

Around 15 major heroes and actors in the same movie...what could go wrong?

[Andrew NDB]

The problem with Tony dying is he's still the most charismatic hero, they already did the sacrifice your life bit in the first Avengers movie, they already "retired" the character in the first movie of phase 2 with Iron Man 3.

Well, Iron Man has had two attempts at sequels and both were bad. I don't know Iron Man deserves a third sequel to try and do any better... though I would be interested to see the payoff of the "All Hail the King" short and see the real Mandarin.

Could be it's being looked at wrong. Maybe Iron Man is not going to Bruce-Willis-in-Armageddon things... maybe Iron Man is going to Ben-Affleck-in-Armageddon it. Meaning, maybe he makes the choice to do some heroic sacrifice and after everyone says goodbye to him, at the last minute someone (Captain America?) takes his place and dies instead.

[plastroncafe]

Didn't he already get another sequel, or...are we not counting Homecoming?
