Avengers: Infinity War is coming fast and with it are new details about the upcoming sequel. The flick takes place four years after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The Avengers are torn apart following the events of Captain America: Civil War. The main villain for the film is the intergalactic despot Thanos who comes to Earth to collect the Infinity Stones he needs to complete his gauntlet. The Infinity Gauntlet allows him to bend reality to his will. The Avengers come together along with most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to from destroying the universe.
Anthony and Joe Russo – known as the Russo Brothers – are directing the movie and have teased some new details.
Marvel released a “100 days” teaser trailer and they shared it on their Instagram account.
Interestingly in the lower right-hand corner is a time stamp that counts down from 00:59:59:12. Is this a clue to the length of the next trailer? Could it be coming up during the next Super Bowl on February 4, 2018? It makes sense.
Marvel released a trailer for The Avengers during Super Bowl XLVI and they’ve released trailers for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and Captain America: Civil War during the Super Bowl too.
Then, on Josh Horowitz’ Happy Sad Confused podcast, the directors teased when the final title for Avengers 4 will be released. Originally Marvel said Avengers: Infinity War would be called Part I and the follow-up called “Part II”. But after the Russo brothers took over they squashed that and haven’t released the title of the sequel. They said, “Certainly part of the concept of the title is it’s advancing the narrative [of Avengers: Infinity War], so we’re gonna sit on that until we feel the time is right and when people have absorbed the first movie enough.”
So expect the Avengers 4 name title reveal after the movie opens. Presumably it has a spoiler in it.
Finally, they shared a picture of the amazing wrap cake after Avengers 3 finished filming.
