We know that Marvel Cinematic universe will systematically expand to 67 characters and many will appear in the Avengers Infinity War. The Russo Brothers said in a panel “We thought the most compelling way to start off Infinity war would be to have the Avengers fight off each other when the greatest threat they will ever face shows up”. They further clarified that Avengers 3 & 4 have completely separate storylines, one is from Team Avengers perspective while the last one is entirely based on Thanos character arc.
The classic comic-book story is unlikely to change much where Thanos first finds out where all the Infinity gems are, assemble them and create an all-powerful Infinity gauntlet, cause a giant catastrophe and then in Avengers 4, Team Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy must unite and fight against the mad Titan to save the world. In Marvel comics, Infinity stones are in the possession of all the elders of the universe, it’s different in cinematic universe as Vision has a mind gem, and he clearly isn’t an elder of the universe.
Marvel has released a new video marking the first day of shooting for the Avengers Infinity War in Atlanta, Georgia. The film is the most awaited superhero ensemble film of the 21st century. As part of the featurette, two new looks of Thanos has been released, in the first one, he is trying to wear an infinity stone, the second one is his classic comic-book look which is intimidating like hell.
The actor Josh Brolin is visibly excited and is finally getting a shot at playing a super-villain. He shared a picture on his Instagram account teasing his transformation into the most powerful cosmic being in the galaxy. Although, the cast is stacked up with heavy-weights but the most important comic-book character is Thanos. Till now, he has been teased in Marvel movies in post-credits of Phase 2, 3 films, but Infinity war will be the first major project where he is going to be the central antagonist pursuing his evil designs. The studio has been building the hype of Thanos over a series of films, so expectations of Marvel fans are very high.
