Here’s Why Infinity War and Avengers 4 Didn’t Film at the Same Time
51Here’s Why Infinity War and Avengers 4 Didn’t Film at the Same Time
Once upon a time, Avengers: Infinity War and the still untitled Avengers 4 were supposed to film simultaneously — in fact, in Marvel’s initial Phase 3 announcement, they we’re described as Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2. A lot’s changed since then. After all, when the Phase 3 lineup was unveiled in 2014, Captain Marvel was set to arrive in theaters this summer and Marvel’s Inhumans was set for the fall. Obviously, none of that happened (sorry, Inhumans), and in fact, nowadays the powers that be at Marvel firmly insist that Infinity War and Avengers 4 aren’t a two-parter, but two very distinct films and along the way, the production also shifted to a back-to-back shooting schedule.
So why did filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo decide to split up production on their Avengers epics? In short, it was just too much to keep track of. Each Marvel film — especially the Avengers team-ups — are a massive undertaking with a lot to keep track of, and according to the Russos, they realized in pre-production that the technicalities of filming simultaneously were just too demanding.
