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. The film received praise for Brolin's performance, visual effects, action sequences, and emotional weight, but was criticized for relying on previous MCU films for its story.

Additional filming took place in Scotland, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City. The production lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel, Avengers: Endgame (2019).

The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015, and a month later Markus and McFeely had 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.

We’ll know for sure come May 4.Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers. So far, it doesn’t just look like a nonissue, but a riotous success. Joss Whedon basically melted his brain trying to configure all the superheroes for Avengers: Age of Ultron - and it showed in the final result - so let’s hope the Russo brothers were able to bring everyone together for Infinity War seamlessly. Seriously, everyone is represented here, from Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Hulk, and Bucky Barnes facing off against enemies in Wakanda to Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Iron Man doing the same in New York, to Thor meeting up with the Guardians of the Galaxy somewhere in space. Walt Disney Studios Motion PicturesĪnd there’s way more than that. There’s Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and his tingling spidey senses, which just looks awesome. On first glance, Chris Evans with a beard > eyepatch Chris Hemsworth and space Chris Pratt. Which, speaking of, Infinity Wars marks the first time that all three Marvel Chrises appear in the same film, making it ground zero of the ever-changing Chris Wars. There’s a bearded Captain America, played by Chris Evans. (He’s much more intimidating in action, like when he’s pummeling Iron Man to the ground.) Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures There’s the new big bad, Thanos (voiced by Josh Brolin), who sorta looks like a sentient purple thumb with an alien goatee and a giant metal glove. There are so many juicy tidbits from the teaser trailer to drool over.
