Infinity War The Avengers: Infinity War Part I & II The Official News and Speculatio - Part 1

[meanmc]

Wasn`t it mentioned, that the cost for the actors and actresses are about 500 Mio Dollar

So i expect everybody in this movie, who is not dead - or even those - and has been in the MCU.

That figure came from Bleeding Cool who was being extremely bitter and anti-films/anti-Feige in the days/weeks (months) following the reorganization announcement/that the film side would be reporting directly to Disney and no longer reporting to Perlmutter.

While yes, I'm sure, that the IW films will be expensive, I'd be surprised if the figures BC threw out were true.

 

[doink]

Especially because the Russos and M&M hadn't even broken the story yet when that BC article was posted and they are still developing it right now, plus many of the OGs will still be on their old cheap contracts.

 

[ernesth100]

Is the money they pay the actors even included in the films budget? Or is that something completely seperate?

Actor compensation is part of the production budget.

 

[ernesth100]

Oh yeah, then these films are gonna be hella expensive.

 

[Cyclonus]

I literally have no idea. It could turn out a number of ways. It definitely won't be him fighting the Avengers for two films straight. Now here's what has to be focus on first part of IW.

-Getting Avengers and other heroes together after Civil War likely split them up.
-Thor coming back to Earth
-Hulk coming back to Earth[if he doesn't leave when Ragnarok ends]
-Thanos collecting the other gems
-The Gaurdians are also looking for Thanos so they will proably cross paths with the Avengers so theres that and the interactions they have to deal with here.
-Then there may be a subplot for WHY Thanos wants the gems be it to impress Death or just for the sake of ultimate power. Film can't always just focus on the heroes.
-Who tells them about Thanos's impending arrival and possibly some new characters being introduced.


All that together is more than enough to take up a 2+ hour film. Second part is.
-Thanos's intitial travel to and/or arrival on Earth. The reaction of humanity and heroes
-Expostition to the Avengers and other heroes on what the gems are and what they they do
-The planning phase because they can't just punch their way through this.
-The scene where Cap lifts Thors hammer and says Avengers assemble[this is a top priority for me]
-The actual battle in which everyone will have their asses handed to them.
-Death Scenes[multiple people are gonna die in this film, I don't who and if permantly or not, but people and heroes gonna die it's unavoidable]
-Managing to balance everyone's screen time so no one group is focused on more than the other.
-Showing how the issue is being dealt with on Earth while the Avengers are battling Thanos.
-Possible cameos from TV and Netflix heroes
-Setup for future films and shows before the movie ends.
-And the after battle rest/restoration period when they fix up damage done and stuff.
-What they do with Thanos if he isn't killed.

Oh and Stan Lee Cameo. In both films. All of this together are things they will deal with in the Infinity War films. And could be they can focus on thought the two films. Of course all of those are common sense things. The real issue is in what order and how they will pull it off with what dialogue. There's also the issue of the second Infinity Gauntlet. Which may or may not tie into the plot. So yeah, more than enough stuff to focus on.

Nice write up, I still believe they need to reveal that Stan Lee is the Watcher! That is how he pops up in all of the films/events taking place in MCU. Would love to see the Watcher make an appearance in Infinity War staring Stan Lee.

 

[ernesth100]

Yes, that is a must for me. Hearing Stan Lee narrate the event as the Watcher. Would be fantastic. Also, don't the films begin production this year?

Stan Lee is awesome, but what about Luis narrating the film as a past event. I love hearing Luis and his epic stories.

 

[Godzillasaurus]

Stan Lee as the narrator would be so dope!!!!

But I'm gonna have to disagree about Luis. His role as a narrator is usually to be comedic. This is not Ant-Man, it's going to be a more serious movie

 

[MbJ]

The good thing is with the magic of cinema you can just use stand-ins for many scenes.

 

[ernesth100]

Yeah. But stand-ins cost money too

 

[JtheDreamer]

Yeah. But stand-ins cost money too

Mere pennies compared to the rest of what goes into the budget.

 

[MbJ]

Yeah. But stand-ins cost money too

Not much.

Well, Luis was just a joke, but I don't see how Stan Lee narrating Infinity War wouldn't be comedic.

Ruffalo had this to say about the Hulk's role.

But we have worked a really interesting arc into Thor 3, Avengers 3 and 4 for Banner that I think will – when it’s all added up – will feel like a Hulk movie, a standalone movie.”

 

[Aztec]

Ruffalo had this to say about the Hulk's role.

It sounds like we are getting Planet Hulk/World War Hulk. I'm guessing the geek.com scoop for Thor: Ragnarok is correct and Hulk and Thor will come to save the day in Infinity War WWH style.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Ruffalo had this to say about the Hulk's role.

Even more hyped now.

 

[Wildcard]

Interesting to say the least. I can't wait to see what they've come up with. I know they've been trying again and again to get something spectacular going for Hulk. To know they've finally accomplished that fills me with unconscionable amounts of joy.

 

[ernesth100]

Ooo, Marvel finding a way around not being able to actually make a solo film. Nice. Clever as always Marvel.

 

[JtheDreamer]

I sure hope for these two films they really up their game as far as the musical score. A:AOU missed the mark big time.

 

[ernesth100]

I hope they up the game in film length. I will sit in the theater for 3 hours if I have to just to see comic moments brought to life.

We all know that won't happen. It's not part of their formula.
