![]() ![]() Which I did! It was like, this is so cool!” I was like, I’m gonna get through Ultron, nap for four years, and then I’ll come to the premiere. But it wasn’t like I was like, here’s a set of directions. And they did an amazing job of keeping that performance on-screen. So, I liked what did so much, and I thought Josh Brolin killed it. And I’m like, Thanos is the ultimate Marvel villain! And then I was like, I don’t actually know what I would do with Thanos. He’s had a lot of power, and he was cool in the comics. I love his apocalyptic vision, his love affair with death. Whedon later admitted that even though it was his idea to put Thanos in The Avengers, he was never quite sure where to take the character: I’m not going to be able to give it what I would need to.” He rasps in a geezer voice: “It’s a young man’s game.” “That many balls in the air, it’s only going to get bigger with Infinity War. “Every movie I have ever made has been an ensemble piece of increasingly enormous proportions,” he says, sitting next to Feige in the editing suite. As the architect of the first two Avengers movies, he was the presumed frontrunner to spearhead the next two, but Whedon was spent after Age of Ultron and declined to return: At this time, Whedon was busy finishing up Avengers: Age of Ultron, which we would later learn was a pretty contentious production as he and Marvel butted heads on a number of issues. ![]() In October 2014, fairly shortly after that retreat, Marvel Studios announced that Avengers: Infinity War – Part I would be released on followed by Avengers: Infinity War – Part II on May 3, 2019. It was on that retreat, that was the first time we thought of doing two movies at the same time. We were on our third retreat perhaps, when we started talking about what would become Infinity War and Endgame, and in particular how do we pay off this purple guy that Joss set up at the end of Avengers 1 and start to intertwine him with these awesome Infinity Stones that we have that provide wonderful MacGuffins in these individual films, and when you put them together, we thought could be more. I initiated in the summer of 2008-after Iron Man had come out and succeeded and we had announced Iron Man 2 and Thor, Captain America, and Avengers-where we just get away from everything, away from the phones, and away from the daily schedule to just focus creatively on the stories. The idea was born on a Marvel Studios creative retreat, as recounted by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige: The inception point, however, is the same for both films. To talk about the making of Avengers: Infinity War is to also talk about the making of Avengers: Endgame, but I’ll do my best to denote the differences (and there are many) throughout this piece. This is how Avengers: Infinity War, one of the biggest movies in history, was created. Thus, an idea was born: a two-part Avengers epic that not only brings Thanos firmly into the fold, but marks a conclusion for the MCU story that’s been told thus far. and then some.Ī villain as big as Thanos couldn’t contain just one movie, and he wouldn’t just serve as any old antagonist. As the folks at Marvel Studios started mapping out what the future of the MCU looked like, they decided to use Avengers 3 as a way to finally pay off that Thanos cameo from the end of The Avengers. So we knew Avengers 3 was inevitable and would be “important,” but no one could quite guess just how big the eventual movie would be. 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron marked a turning point of sorts, as our heroes started questioning one another and each individual’s faults rose to the surface in intriguing ways. 2012’s The Avengers was the first movie to combine all the MCU heroes in one film, solidifying the idea of an interconnected universe. In the grand scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Avengers movies have always been its cornerstones. ![]() “How the MCU Was Made” is a series of deep-dive articles that delve into the ins and outs of the development history, production, and release of all the Marvel Studios movies ![]()
