Both films are set to be directed by Anthony and Joe Russo who have earned the position to take over from Joss Whedon after two highly successful installments in the Captain America franchise. Fans got a taste of their ensemble film-chops with Civil War, which balanced many characters and is sometimes referred to by fans as Avengers 2.5.

Avengers: Infinity War was originally slated to be a two-part film, but the Russos have since stated that the first film would retain that title and be a stand-alone movie. The second film is still planned (and apparently being filmed alongside Infinity War) but a title has not been revealed.

An official synopsis, casting list, or production notes have yet to be released, but that information cannot be far behind. With word that the cameras are set to begin rolling, much of the movie’s production must be confirmed, and Thanos‘ arrival and subsequent meeting with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes could result in the biggest Marvel Studios film to date.
