We looked at a lot of movies that had that heist-style energy to them, that brought some inspiration. The entire movie has that energy of the bad guy being one step ahead of the heroes. We've shaped an interesting narrative around him that in some ways leans heavily on a heist film in the fact that he's going after the infinity stones in a much bolder, successful way than he has in the past. With "Infinity War," the biggest new element to the movie is Thanos and the fact that he's entering the storytelling in a very bold, strong way, to the degree that he's almost one of the leads. Directors the Russo brothers told CNET's Erin Carson as much last year: We do know it's going to be a heist film, with Thanos at the center of it tracking down all the Infinity Stones. +32 More Plot details: What's going to happen? (It was a good day, tbh.) If you want to see it opening weekend though, I'd suggest grabbing tickets now: according to Variety, Fandango says the movie is outselling the last seven Marvel movies combined. Release date: April 27Īfter initially announcing a release date of May 4 in the US, Marvel did an about-face and pushed the date up for the entire world to April 27. That said, we do know Chris Evans is done as Captain America after the 2019 Avengers film. Next year, we'll get the sequel to this huge outing, but we don't even know the name of that film - since it seems like the title could be a spoiler in itself. The MPAA has now officially rated the film as PG-13 not a huge surprise considering every other MCU film has the same rating. Stay tuned for an exact runtime once we've seen it here. has arrived! #Shuri #InfinityWar #WakandaForever /pOeF2F4Yef- Marvel Studios ApHow long is Infinity War?Īs suspected, Infinity War will clock in around 2 hours and 30 minutes ( Fandango says 2:29, to be exact), making it the longest MCU film to date by at least 2 minutes.
To have Deadpool 2 dropping on its third weekend greatly hurts that - they play to somewhat different audiences due to rating but still fall under the superhero genre - and risks the film not having the same sustained success as its predecessors: The Avengers and Age of Ultron both had nearly a month without comparable competition. It's unlikely that Disney were actually intimidated by Fox's move, but it nevertheless kneecapped Avengers 3's long-term chances: this is a movie not only pegged for a top-level opening weekend, but impressive legs in the weeks to follow. This felt to be a pivot around Solo, but also meant the film could potentially mop up the dregs from Infinity War. Fox put their money where their mouth was in January when they moved the film from an original June 2 release back two weeks to May 18. This unprecedented success led to screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick saying the film could release at any point in 2018 and not feel the heat. The first Deadpool was a smash hit, breaking records for both R-rated movies and its February release (the latter was since surpassed by Black Panther). We'll come back to Han later as his relationship to the Avengers is more complicated, but the Merc with a Mouth provides reason enough by himself.
May is one of the biggest moviegoing months - even as the traditional Summer season begins to adjust - and at one point was going to see the release of three major tentpoles: Infinity War on May 4, Deadpool 2 on May 18, and Solo: A Star Wars Story on May 25.

Considering Joss Whedon's first uniting of Earth's Mightiest Heroes remains Marvel Studios biggest release to this day, it seemed crazy to mess with the formula. Why have Marvel - or, more accurately, Disney - chosen to do this?Īfter all, Marvel's owned the first weekend of May release slot since The Avengers in 2012, with the only gap being 2014 where Captain America: The Winter Soldier released in April and Guardians of the Galaxy in July. release date a week earlier from May 4 to April 27.
