"
A
vengers: Infinity War
is the culmination
of the entire cinematic universe that
started in May 2008,” enthuses Marvel
Entertainment chief Kevin Feige in a teaser
featurette released last month. “What we always
try to do at Marvel Studios is look at the big
picture – how can things relate across movies
and across years? It really is an unprecedented
culmination of a series of films interlinked
together.”
Avengers: Infinity War
, which will open in
cinemas in May 2018, will see the fractured
and divided superhero team facing their most
dangerous threat yet from galactic tryant Thanos.
Fortunately there is help at hand from
Guardians
Of The Galaxy
’s Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and Doctor
Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose Marvel
Cinematic Universe debut has just arrived on
DVD and Blu-ray. Also making his Avengers
debut in the new blockbuster will be the new
Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his first
appearance in
Captain America: Civil War
.
Joe and Anthony Russo, who helmed the
last two
Captain America
films, are behind
the cameras again and believe Thanos is“the
biggest, the best, the baddest villain that we’ve
ever had”.
In the meantime there are plenty of Marvel
blockbusters to look forward to. Next month
sees the cinema release of
Guardians Of The
Galaxy Vol. 2,
followed in July by
Spider-Man:
Homecoming,
and to cap things off ,our own
Taika Waititi’s
Thor: Ragnarok
will be in cinemas
from October.
On the home entertainment front, as well as
Doctor Strange
, March also sees the release of
the second and final season of
Agent Carte
r, and
the third instalment of
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D
.
For more on
Doctor Strange
see pages 14-15.
Shooting has just begun on
Avengers: InfinityWar,
which will see the
Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange join Iron Man and Co.
WILL THIS BE MARVEL'S
MIGHTIEST MOVIE YET?
