I did that throughout April and found it very rewarding.

I didn't realize he had said that - nevermind! Although, this was the guy who arranged to have Michael Rooker on the Infinity War set to mess with expectations about the Vol 2 ending. But nah, if he said it's a sequel to this, I believe him.

I've been thinking since the movie about the Guardians and timelines. We know Vol 1 and 2 take place about six months apart around 2014. And we know Infinity War is 2018. I wouldn't be utterly shocked if Vol 3 took place before this movie.

Earning that "executive producer" credit!

Poor guy, each one will make less than the last, and they'll be calling him "box office poison" by the end of the month :)

Between Infinity War and Deadpool 2, Josh Brolin will be the top grossing villain for like six weeks running! I was so blown away by his work here that it's entirely possible that his "cartoon" performance will be better than his "real" one. Other than the new Apes movies, this was the most...

Fair enough. I admittedly get a little too wrapped up at times in equating a film leaving premium theaters with that film no longer being worth still seeing in theaters. I imagine this will play for a while in standard 2D screens but I have no interest in that presentation, especially after...

I think the movie is more or less over once Deadpool comes out. Just the nature of the beast. I'd like to see it again but it'll be IMAX 3D or bust. So at least for me, it's definitely over once Deadpool steals those screens.

I was not prepared for him to have as big of a role in the film as he did, or for the performance to be as excellent as it was. I think we talked about it in this thread before the movie opened (I think Alan was part of this conversation, this sounds like something he'd mention due to his...

Yeah, I think that title card stays. The problem is, that drawing needs to be done by Keaton's kid and that kid needs to be young enough then for it to be a child's drawing. If it's only four years later (as it should be, since Avengers was 2012 and Civil War was 2016, and that cut in...

By the way, just as a random, non-spoiler thought, Infinity War absolutely confirms that the title card in Spider-Man Homecoming which said that movie took place eight years after the battle of New York is a mistake, since the movie references that the battle was less time than that. I think...

According to the showrunners of Agents Of SHIELD, they were fully aware of what was going to happen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and that was definitely part of their plan in starting the show the way they did. They apparently were enthusiastic about the idea of showing the old order...

Yes, there is a precedent in the Marvel universe, though of course we don't know exactly what they'll do until it's done. In the past, several Marvel movies have featured an IMAX-exclusive shifting aspect ratio. These movies are Guardians Of The Galaxy, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor...

I'm not sure if there's a ton of discussion outside this thread, but the bullet points are: -The movie was shot with IMAX Digital cameras which have a native aspect ratio of 1.90:1 -The IMAX presentation is 1.90:1 -All other non-IMAX presentations are 2.39:1 - this is achieved by cropping off...

I know that's a joke, but.... For the past year, Disney has been experimenting with premium pricing for their opening night showings. If you want to see the first showing of any Disney movie on opening night, which is usually 6pm now, you must buy a ticket to what they call a "fan event" -...

I rewatched all 17 of the Marvel movies that have been released on disc this month. I used MoviePass to see Black Panther tonight, so that I could have seen all 18 of the films. I have tickets to a 10:45pm IMAX 3D screening on Thursday. See you all after that!

I obviously like Age Of Ultron more than most, but I didn't start out that way - the BD3D release really sold me on the film far more than the theatrical release did. But to what you're saying the first Avengers is fun in a way the second one isn't. And I think Civil War (while not technically...

I agree that the first film is definitely superior. I've been rewatching all of the films in order this month. I've probably seen The Avengers more than any other MCU film, and even with all of those viewings, this most recent viewing still played as exciting, fresh and vital. The writing is...

I think he was fired. Or rather, that he had a contract that was specifically for writing and directing Age Of Ultron, and for serving as a creative consultant concurrently for Phase 2 films and when that contract lapsed, it wasn't renewed. I've never seen one bit of reporting to suggest that...

In rewatching almost all of the previous Marvel films (almost done), I do have one concern with Infinity War that I hope ends up being not a thing. I'm slightly worried that the movie will feel more like Captain America 4, rather than Avengers 3. So far, the different standalone films have all...

My guess would be that the DVD, BD, UHD and streaming versions would be locked at 2.39:1, while the BD3D version would be 1.90:1, as this is how Marvel has previously handled IMAX 3D exclusive ratios on disc. IMAX 1.90 is meant to be different than 1.85:1 in conventional theaters...

Yeah, they could just as easily end this movie with "The Avengers will return" and could always put on the end of Ant-Man 2 that "Ant-Man will return in Avengers 4!"

I've been rewatching all of the previous MCU movies (and the Marvel One-Shots on the Blu-rays) in preparation for Infinity War. I started on April 2nd, been going in release order, and last night watched Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Should be able to make it through the rest before the big day...

BARF scenario?

I think the last midnight showing that I attended was for The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug in 2013. By the time the third Hobbit film came out the following year, it had been changed to the 7pm/10pm first showings that are now commonplace. Though the studios might cite safety as a reason...

My guess would be that not all of Homecoming 2 will be about Avengers fallout, so they'll just market those parts that are free from that. So they can tease returning characters from Homecoming, Peter's school life, his friends, that sort of thing. They can also edit footage out of context to...

I agree. There are enough characters that Marvel has access to for them to continue to build up new ones as they retire old ones. I would love to see a continuity that can stretch decades, almost like a long running soap opera. I'm not really interested in seeing this whole thing rebooted.

I think I agree. A couple years ago, my guess would have been for Steve Rogers, but I think things have changed. I wonder if that vision that Tony has at the beginning of Age Of Ultron will come into play, where he sees all of the Avengers dead. Perhaps Rogers dies at the end of Infinity War...

I think that's part of the reason that it's now opening on the same day worldwide. I think however the film ends, it's going to change the status quo for a lot of our characters in a way that hasn't yet happened in the MCU, and if it opened everywhere a week earlier than in the U.S., that plot...

The other thing to keep in mind is that one of the infinity stones is the time stone -- which we saw Benedict Cumberbatch use in Doctor Strange to turn back time and erase a catastrophic disaster. So I think it's entirely possible that Avengers 3 could end with a lot of people dead and...
