Avengers: Infinity Wars To Be Retitled
 

http://411mania.com/movies/avengers-...et-new-titles/

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.

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

hopefully its something epic...

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Marvel officially announce "Infinity War" will be a stand-alone

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?"

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.

Obviously. :tlol:

Official confirmation is nice, though...

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

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.

Doctor Strange will be in Infinity War

Obviously. The man has an Infinity Stone. :trazz:

Liv Tyler rumored to reprise her role of Betty Ross.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

This absolutely needs to happen. It's Liv Tyler, for crying out loud!

Peter Dinklage in talks to join both movies.
