We Already Knew AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Would Be Two Separate Standalone Films

When Marvel first announced Avengers: Infinity War it was set up as a two-part film. But it was no surprise to learn recently that Avengers: Infinity War would be two different films. The Wrap recently reported that Avengers: Infinity War - Part I will now be a standalone film and the title of that film will be Avengers: Infinity War. They also say that Part II is now being called Untitled Avengers.

People are acting like this is some big surprise, but the fact of the matter is the Russo Bros. already revealed this news a couple of months ago. In a previous interview, director Joe Russo said that the two-part film was a misconception, he said that “The movies are two very different movies.”

When asked if it was misleading having them labeled as Part 1 and Part 2, Anthony Russo said, “It is misleading." The directors planned on the title change all along. Joe added:

“The intention is we will change it, we just haven’t come up with the titles yet. But, yes, we will change it. And, yes, that is a scoop: we will retitle them.”

So now the first film will be called Avengers: Infinity War, which I think was a given. They obviously still haven't figured out a title for the fourth Avengers film yet, but I imagine it will still continue the story that starts with Infinity War. After all, every Marvel film seems to continue the story of The Avengers and its characters. Whether or not it will involve Thanos and the battle against him has yet to be seen.

Both the films will still retain their original release dates in 2018 and 2019. The Russos are expected to start shooting the project this November.
