If they pull this off and can bring in just about everyone(not expecting the other cast members from TIH or Darcy and Jane from Thor)this movie will be ridiculously awesome.

I want the main 6 Avengers, Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Vision, Guardians of the Galaxy, War Machine, Falcon, Coulson, Nick Fury, throw in Maria Hill as well since she appears to be working for Stark now. Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther some of the Inhumans. My money is down that they'll be introducing Adam Warlock in Guardians 2 and it would be stupid to make a movie on one of the Infinity stories and not have Warlock in there.

I don't want to get my hopes up though because just paying every one of those actors is going to be bank.

Well, Peter Jackson made "The Hobbit" for almost $750 million, and all three have almost grossed a collective three billion. The way i see it, Marvel could make "Infinity War" for $500 million at most, and rake in at least 2 billion even. Casting all the actors doesn't mean everyone has to appear at the same time; rumors have circulated that

[Show spoiler]Steve Rogers will be killed at the end of "Civil War", then brought back for Part 2 of "Infinity War".

Yeah, I've heard that same rumor and although Marvel goes crazy with the bringing characters back from the supposed dead, I think that would be one that would get the audience pumped up. So long as it doesn't leak if they do in fact go that route.

Any more speculation of the actor's salaries?

Sorry if you thought there was actual news going on since I bumped the page.

If memory serves, Disney produced Pirates 2 and 3 for like $500M. I would expect them to put that same level of financing behind this two parter.

Marvel is notoriously penny pinching, but they/Disney put the money up when it came to Avengers ($200M+ budget).

I'd say the lowest earnings would go to those who haven't been in a lot of Marvel properties yet, such as the cast of "Guardians" or the actors for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

The Russo Brothers have signed on to direct Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and 2.

There are still no writers attached to Avengers: Infinity War, but apparently Marvel is courting Captain America writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who’ve become the go to duo.

I wanted the Russo brothers to direct Infinity War 1 and 2, so it's great news! I'd like it if Whedon came back, but he said Age of Ultron was a "nightmare," so I can understand why he wouldn't want to do two back-to-back movies that are going to be even bigger.

I hope Whedon would at least write the scripts for Infinity War, but Markus and McFeely are great writers and they'll deliver a great script, I'm sure.

[GenPion]

Whedon thought it was a nightmare, in part, because Marvel is too controlling over the directors they have been hiring.

I think it's awful news that the Russo brothers have been hired for both Avengers Infinity Wars films. I thought their ability to direct action sequences in Captain America: Winter Solider was pretty disappointing. The movie was moderately entertaining but it could have been a lot better. I know I'm in the minority on this one but I'm not happy they have been hired for not only the next Captain America sequel but these as well.

He's never said that... at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if he directed Captain Marvel.

[gsmith930]

Hopefully Whedon is able to help write some.

[UK_fan_05]

Really hoping Whedon ends up directing instead. Avengers is his baby and I hope he wants and gets to finish it off. If not then hopefully he will be all over the project.

I said the same thing in one of the other threads. It's right up his alley.

I guess I might be reading into it a bit. I don't have a direct quote for you. But he said in interviews during the first Avengers that he didn't have complete control over the film and had to work with Marvel for what they wanted. He openly spoke about that on the first film.

He has openly talked about his frustration with the Marvel universe (and Hollywood in general) for not having more female superheroes, and has discussed this in relation to Black Widow's role in the MCU.

He has also said he is "done" after Avengers 2, and in a way that sounds like he wasn't completely happy with the experience, IMO. I do think he would consider coming back for more if he had felt the experience was even better working with Marvel. So many directors now have talked about how Marvel is difficult to work with that it must play some role for director's who like to have more creative say.

I doubt he'll do more Marvel movies. I guess you never know. For a director who has worked in television and comics for so many years without ever saying goodbye completely, his recent statement about The Avengers certainly makes it sound like it had at least something to do with Marvel Studios.

... or he's completely happy with Marvel's input and the way they run things: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015...l-infinity-war

I don't know.

It's no secret that Marvel likes control on their films, and Favreau didn't come back for IM3 because of his experience with IM2. But I think Whedon's recent "nightmare" comment was because this is such a big movie.

We have to remember, this is only his fourth film as director. And Serenity and Much Ado About Nothing are no where as big as Avengers. So I can understand why he would find something like Ultron to be a daunting task. And then to make two even bigger movies, back to back? I get why he'd pass that up.

But he's done a lot of work with Marvel, like rewriting scenes for Thor: The Dark World and all that. I don't know about their working relationship, but I don't recall any instances where he hinted that he had a lot of friction with them.

I would expect him to be Marvel's first choice for Captain Marvel, and I would expect him to consider the job, too. It's still a big movie, but nowhere near the behemoth the Avengers films must be to make.

If he never works with Marvel again after Age of Ultron, you may have a point, but I think they'll continue to work together in the future.

Thank god. I would much rather have them over Whedon.

Thank God, huge fan of Joss but this is better by far.
Plus added community cameos!

[HockeySlasher]

Whew. I was worried - and even mentioned in the ghostbusters thread - that the GB movie would take the bros off of Avengers, but apparently they will choose to be really busy over the next four years.

I'll take it.

Weird, Winter Soldier is by far the best phase two movie for me and also has the best action scenes of probably any Marvel film for me.
