The Avengers are back, and everything seems to indicate that it will be their biggest appearance seen so far in the cinema.
The third film of this group of superheroes will include more characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe than any other film or television series.
Let's dig into what we know so far of the next adventure of these characters, called Avengers: Infinity War, and maybe later we can discuss how this film will probably destroy everything we once knew about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Is there a trailer?
Details of the plot: What will happen?
We know it will be a movie about a "robbery", with Thanos at the center of its history. The Russo brothers told CNET's Erin Carson what the story was about last month:
With 'Infinity War, the new important element introduced in the film is Thanos and the fact that he appears in the plot in a very bold and strong way, to the point that he stands as one of the protagonists. We have built an interesting narrative around him that in a certain way rests on the genre of "robbery or robbery" films, since he seeks to take over the Gems of Infinity more successfully than in the past. The film possesses that energy in which the villain is always one step ahead of the heroes. We saw many films that have that energy of 'theft film', which inspired us.
Will someone die? Well, yes, that's what is speculated, especially considering that Kevin Feige, president of Marvel, told Vanity Fair about the expansive phase of the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
We thought it would be important to conclude the current Phase 3, which comprises 22 films. What do I want to say? There will be two very different periods between everything that happened before 'Avengers 4' and everything that will happen next (from that film). I know that this will not be what many are expecting.
Basically, if you care about some of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe of the last decade, be prepared to make your heart shatter. The Russo brothers also told Vanity Fair that they received instructions on "who could kill", which means that death will safely visit a character.
