‘Avengers: Infinity War’ to witness new beginning of MCU, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ crossover, new hero introduction

With the filming of Avengers: Infinity War coming closer (November), many new speculations and teasers are making rounds and all seem to be quite interesting ones. The Avengers sequel Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled sequel (previously called as Avengers: Infinity War Part 2) will see the culmination of all the characters and events that Marvel has introduced since its first MCU film Iron Man. The film see see the introduction of not just the previously seen characters but also some new ones. With about 67 characters going to play a part of these films, the complete list of characters to be seen in the film is yet to be disclosed.

After introducing two new characters in Captain America: Civil WarSpider-Man and Black Panther – who are set to not only star in their stand alone films but also in these two films, seems like Marvel is set to introduce yet another superhero. As reported by Yahoo Movies, Joe Russo said that their hands are full trying to tell the story they have with our pre-existing characters in the 2018 super ensemble. “Anthony would probably die from exhaustion if we introduced another character,” Joe said before Anthony hinted, “That’s not to say we’re not going to introduce a new character.”

Asking about who this new character could be, if at all it could be the recently casted Brie Larson who will be playing the role of Captain Marvel in her stand alone film that’s set to release in 2018 post Infinity War, “If they ever cast that role, maybe,” Anthony replied, clearly joking. “Do you know if they’ve cast it yet?”  Turning genuine, the co-director added, “That’s one we’re going to have to plead the fifth on.”

There have also been speculations of Doctor Strange joining the Avengers group as his film set to release this November so we can likely expect him to be also seen in the film. With this, there’s also news that Guardians of the Galaxy characters are set to appear in Infinity War. Vin Diesel, who plays Groot in the movie, confirmed the news in a Facebook live video that appeared on his personal page following the achievement of scoring over 100 million followers. “Now, the Guardians will be included in Avengers: Infinity War and that’s incredibly exciting,” he told his fans. “You were told before everybody.”

How will that take place? Keeping in mind that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is set to release on 5 May, 2017, we can expect the movie to set the ball rolling for the characters to enter the Avengers sequel. Apart from that, as observed in the two Russo brothers films: Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, wherein both movies featured a special cameo with an actor from the Community show – a loving reference given that the Russo brothers used to be producers on the program and even directed a large number of episodes – the news is that these cameos will continue in the duo’s next blockbuster project.

“We’re literally in that phase of the pre-production where we start thinking about those kinds of things, and right now we’re looking for the right part to see who’s a match for the next cameo,” Joe Russo told Cinema Blend. Is that confirmation of a Community cameo? “Yeah, absolutely,” Joe added. “We’ve got to keep the streak going.” So it’s not just Stan Lee one has to look out for, Community fans will also have to look out for the shows actors.

As far the storyline is concerned, as reported by IGN, the movie won’t just culminate over a decades’ worth of storylines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also serve as a starting point for something more in the MCU. Anthony Russo said, “”In being a culmination, these movies are in some ways going to be an end to certain things, and in some ways, they’re going to be the beginning of certain things.”

The Captain America sequel writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are currently working on the third draft of Avengers: Infinity War along with the second draft of its untitled sequel. The untitled sequel would be the last of the Phase Three of MCU and so far no word is out for what the Phase Four would comprise of.

Avengers: Infinity War is set to hit the theaters on May 2018, with the untitled sequel scheduled for May 2019.
