“Avenger: Infinity War” director Joe Russo reveals that some of the scenes will take place on Earth, while others will be set in space. We know that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to an end with the release of “Infinity War” and its untitled sequel in 2019. Twenty-two films and ten years after the story arc first started in 2008, Earth’s most powerful superheroes will fight Thanos over control of Gauntlet and Infinity Stones.
Thanos in space
Until now, we have seen that Thanos lives in space lording over his underlings like Ronan, Loki, Nebula, and Gamora.
He aims to collect the magical stones and rocks. By the end of “Avengers: Age Of Ultron,” Thanos will come down to Earth to collect more stones for himself. Here, on Earth, he will fight Bruce, Thor, Clint, Peter, Wanda, Stephen and other superheroes. Russo told Comic Book Movie that “Avenger: Infinity War” would bounce around between some narratives to tell the whole story. Some of its scenes will reportedly be shot on Earth, while others will take place in space.
How much will 'Avengers: Infinity Wars' be in space?
So far, we have seen dozens of images and videos for the movie, but there’s no information about how much “Avenger: Infinity War” takes place on Earth. To this, Joe Russo said that several action sequences would be shot on Earth, while a lot of scenes would be held in space.
“A lot of characters will fight Thanos in space, while some will give him a tough competition on Earth,” Russo told Cinema Blend.
The expansive confirmed cast includes Robert Downey, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Pratt, Sebastian Stan, Paul Bettany, and Benedict Cumberbatch in the leading characters.
Vanity Fair reports that Marvel will release the second part of “Age of Ultron” on May 2019, while “Avengers: Infinity War” will be released in Canada and the United States on May 4, 2018.
A few days ago, Feige, Downey, Joe Russo, Brolin, Olsen, Bettany, Klementieff, Bautista, Gillan, Cheadle, Cumberbatch, Mackie, and Boseman presented a clip highlighting the ten years of MCU movies at Disney’s D23 Expo.
A full-length trailer for “Infinity War” was also released on the same day. Early reactions to the film are satisfactory, Polygon’s Julia Alexander names it as “an impressive film with lots of action sequences.” Samuel L. Jackson, Benedict Wong, Cobie Smulders, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Scarlett Johansson, Pom Klementieff, Anthony Mackie, and Tom Holland are in the supporting roles.
