‘Avengers Infinity War’: Kevin Feige Teases An Avengers, Guardians Showdown
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of Easter eggs and during an interview with Fandango, the head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, opened up about the unprecedented contents of Avengers: Infinity War and what fans should look for in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
“The offscreen, on-screen banter is not too dissimilar from one another,” Feige joked. But, when the producer was asked if the rivalry would lead the two teams to duke it out, Feige gave one teasing reply.
“All things are possible…” he trailed off with a laugh.
That by no means confirms a Captain America: Civil War throw down, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see some conflict when the Guardians arrive on Earth.
Feige did say the Infinity War would be unlike any other comic book adaptation before it.
“It’s more exciting than people are aware of right now, with what’s happening [on Infinity War],” Feige said. “We’re doing things you’ve never seen before with films based on comics.”
Avengers: Infinity War has an expansive cast, which will not be complete here: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos.
Avengers: Infinity War is described by Marvel Studios as the culmination of everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Iron Man in 2008. The movie is filming now under directors Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
Avengers: Infinity War and its as-yet-untitled sequel are filming back-to-back for a May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019 release, respectively.
