AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Begins Filming in 2016, Will Shoot For 9 Months

Avengers: Age of Ultron has already made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and it hasn't even opened in the United States yet. That'll happen later this week, and I'm guessing it'll surpass Furious 7 as the highest-grossing movie of the year...at least until Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out. Meanwhile, the actors that comprise the Marvel superhero team are on their seemingly-never-ending press tour, and Chris Evans spoke with Esquire and revealed the filming schedule for the highly-anticipated two-part mega-sequel Avengers: Infinity War.

"You know, you plan around the Marvel responsibilities. You have to. We start [Captain America: Civil War] in a couple weeks, and then that shoots until August or something like that. August or September. Then I've got some downtime and I can do with it as I please. I don't know if I want to take time off or go pursue another directing job or find a movie to act in or, you know, do whatever I'm creatively inclined to pursue or wait, relax, enjoy my life. And then we start the Infinity War, I think, some time in the third quarter. Fall or winter of 2016. That's going to be like nine months to shoot both movies back to back."

Sounds like a pretty intense schedule, and I'm wondering if there will be any major leaks that come from the set that could end up spoiling the end of Infinity War: Part 2. If they start filming in 2016, there's a long time between that and May 3rd, 2019 for scoop hounds to try to track down secretive information about the movie, so Marvel is going to have to keep everything under extremely close supervision if they want to make sure everyone goes in unspoiled. But honestly, even if we know the ending beforehand, we'd still go see Infinity War in theaters on opening day. It's the culmination of everything Marvel has been working toward, and it'll be very interesting to see what they do when those movies are over.
