About Avengers: Infinity War Movie:
- Avengers: Infinity War is an American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers.
- It is the sequel to The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and as part of Phase Three of the MCU.
- A sequel, Avengers: Endgame, was released in April 2019.
- The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo came on board to direct in April 2015, and a month later Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely signed on to write the script for the film, which draws inspiration from Jim Starlin’s 1991 comic book The Infinity Gauntlet and Jonathan Hickman’s 2013 comic book Infinity.
- In 2016, Marvel shortened the title to Avengers: Infinity War. Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, with a large cast consisting mostly of actors reprising their roles from previous MCU films, including Brolin as Thanos.
- The production lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel, Avengers: Endgame (2019). Additional filming took place in Scotland, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City.
- The film was made with an estimated budget of $325–400 million, the film is one of the most expensive films ever made.
- Avengers: Infinity War held its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23, 2018, screening also at the adjacent El Capitan Theatre and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. It was released in most countries worldwide, including the United States, on April 27, with a few debuts beginning as early as April 25, 2018 and was shown in IMAX and 3D on select screens. In the United States, the film opened in 4,474 theaters, 408 of which were IMAX; this was the widest release for a Disney title ever and the second-widest ever after Despicable Me 3’s (2017) 4,529 theaters. Three of AMC Theatres’ locations screened the film for 24 hours straight, with 53 of their locations having showtimes at either 2 am or 3 am to accommodate demand. In India, the film had the biggest release ever for a Hollywood film, opening on nearly 2,000 screens in four languages. The film also screened in 515 4DX theaters in 59 countries. Avengers: Infinity War was originally scheduled to be released on May 4 in the United States. The Chinese release of the film, which opened on May 11, was originally scheduled to end on June 10, but was granted a “rare” extension of 30 days, to end on July 9.
- Avengers: Infinity War received praise for Brolin’s performance, visual effects, action sequences, dark tone and emotional weight.
- The film was the fourth film and the first superhero film to gross over $2 billion worldwide, breaking numerous box office records, and becoming the highest-grossing film of 2018 and the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time both worldwide and in the United States and Canada.
- It received a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 91st Academy Awards, among numerous other accolades.
- Tom Holland was not allowed to read the script for this movie, since he revealed too many secrets for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). In one of the promotional videos for the movie, several of its cast members are in an interrogation room refusing to reveal any spoilers, and Holland’s mouth is conspicuously taped shut.
- Mark Ruffalo revealed that he was given a fake script due to his habit of accidentally spoiling past Marvel movies. He jokingly claimed in an interview that the fake script was better than the real one.
- According to Chadwick Boseman, production on this movie began just two weeks after production on Black Panther (2018) ended. This meant that all of the actors, actresses, and extras from that movie appeared in this movie and had no problem retaining their cadences.
- The name “Thanos” is a short form of the Greek name “Thanatos”, which means “death” in Greek. Appropriately, it is also the name of the Greek god of death.
