RDJ in Cast section.

Shouldn't Downey be added to the cast since he's technically contracted for The Avengers 3, which would be this? 2601:C:780:234:889D:4AD9:BD4B:D161 (talk) 02:21, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

It has not been confirmed whether he will appear in part 1, part 2, or both. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:11, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

But it HAS been confirmed that he will be featured in The Avengers 3, which would be this film. I don't see a problem with the addition of his inclusion until further confirmation is available. 2601:C:780:234:D5D9:4A24:D031:330D (talk) 19:40, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Proper notification has been added to the development section. That is the most we can do at the moment. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. I can dig it. 2601:C:780:234:1976:7D02:4054:B930 (talk) 01:15, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Anyway,i have added Downey's name in the cast section,but anyone can remove it,if it is inappropriate.BY User:Akshay Das XXX

Please read the previous discussion and read WP:RS. We need a reliable source stating he is in this film. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:14, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Chris Evans in cast name

I have even added Chris Evans (actor) in cast section,Whether that would be inappropriate ? BY User:Akshay Das XXX

Please read WP:RS. We need a reliable source stating he is in this film. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:14, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Russo's confirmed for Infinity War (Part 1 and 2)

here's the source Npamusic (talk) 21:03, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

"Production of" article

This is continuing a discussion previously held at my talk. I think this is a good idea, but a few things: A) when do we create it? (and if we do, do we make a Draft first) B) If we have a draft, when would we move it to the mainspace? Just wanted to get the discussion going again. Notifying the users in the previous discussion @TriiipleThreat, Adamstom.97, and Kailash29792: - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

I already started the draft. I would move it to the mainspace along with film articles when they are ready to be moved.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:50, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Fant-abulous! But in theory, if we get more production info or casting news before filming starts, and the draft satisfies WP:GNG, it could be moved? Because WP:NFF wouldn't apply, because the article is detailing the lead up and production of the film. Or am I thinking about this wrong? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Also, back to one of my original questions, if we have this article, what can we thus reduce from info here and at the second page? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:05, 23 March 2015 (UTC) I'm an idiot and didn't actually look at the page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:10, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

No you're not, but generally just main points of production; announcement, hiring of cast and crew; filming dates, release information, etc, and none of the commentary. Basically what we usually cover in the overview in the List of films article.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 23:11, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to write Infinity War?

Per the Wrap and Bad Digest. I'm assuming this could be held off from inclusion until further information is provided. Npamusic (talk) 02:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Most of the major trades are indicating that it's possible, though I don't think it's any different from a few months ago when many were saying the same thing about the Russos. We should wait on this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:38, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Thought so. Ok. no sweat. Npamusic (talk) 04:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for questioning it though! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Anytime man. Figured I'd bring it up since it was included in The Wraps report. Wasn't reported in THR's reveal though, or Variety's either. Personally would be really cool to have it written by them with a story by Whedon and Gunn, but that's very wishful thinking on my part. Npamusic (talk) 04:31, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I think both THR and Variety reported the same as the Wrap, that they are being looked at. But that is all stemmed from the Badass Digest report. I don't remember if THR or Variety independently confirmed the interest for the duo. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:16, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Magus being cast for Part 1?

Here's the source Npamusic (talk) 01:32, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

It's unreliable. - adamstom97 (talk) 02:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Roman Numerals in the title?

This image is the current "official" logo for the film, as revealed at the Marvel event in October 2014. It lists the titles as "Part I" and "Part II." However, I've also read this press release that lists the titles as "Part 1" and "Part 2." Is there any particular reason we chose one over the other? Personally (and I know that means nothing in the article, but still), I think we should use the Roman numerals, because I can't see Marvel revealing the logo at that huge event and then changing it later on to reflect Arabic numerals. The Civil War logo was changed, but really the only alteration was the white background instead of the black background (i.e. the font and spelling didn't change). I know we are years away from seeing a billing block, so that's no help. So I guess my question is: how did we decide this given that we've seen it written both ways? - Rmaynardjr (talk) 16:41, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

We generally go by how titles are referred to in print media, not logos or images. So Marvel has consistently referred to the film as "Part 1" and "Part 2". That is the name of the film. If it was with roman numerals, Marvel would have made their releases with such. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:22, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Jeremy Rennet confirms involvement.

Here's a source, in case it was missed. Also on the Sequel page it states Downey and Renner will be reprising their roles in the film. Should be noted here as well. Npamusic (talk) 19:37, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

As with Downey, they both are signed for "Avengers 3". Since the films are split, what does that mean? Both parts, only one of them? Until we get further clarification on the exact nature of the contracts, they are not added here. They are added at the AoU sequel section, because it just states that they are reprising their roles in the films, not for which film exactly. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

okay. Will wait and see what happens when principal photography kicks off in November. Npamusic (talk) 18:46, 17 April 2016 (UTC) Npamusic (talk) 18:46, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Samuel L. Jackson's quote about Nick Fury

He states: [I think I'm in Avengers 3 and 4, but I'm not in Civil War.] - source -- thoughts on his quote? Npamusic (talk) 03:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC) Npamusic (talk) 03:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Just added to the production article. Can't add anything here or on Part 2 draft until it is more of a definite. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:24, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

okay thanks man. Figured he wouldn't be added since his quote is very vague and not on the nose. Npamusic (talk) 18:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC) Npamusic (talk) 18:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Josh Brolin's quote about Death?

Can we add that quote to this page? Here's the source. Npamusic (talk) 01:04, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Given we don't know yet how Death will be involved with the films, I'd say let's keep this on the back burner until we know the involvement. If Death isn't going to be a part of this, or not until part 2, this quote and context would seem out of place. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:46, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Infnity War Part 1 will now just be "Avengers: Infinity War" with Part 2 being "Untitled Avengers" project

Here's the source, do with it what you will. A bit confused, but as we've learned by what the Russos have said, they won't be two part films, but will still shoot back-to-back. Npamusic (talk) 23:51, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Interesting, if the do film back-to-back we'll just rename this pages according and the production page to "Production of Avengers: Infinity War and XXXX". If not, we'll move the production page to Avengers: Infinity War and get rid of this one. Then rename the other one accordingly.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 00:07, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Well, we've already heaard from the Russos/Markus and McFeely that these films will shoot concurrently, with one day dedicated to "Part 1" and the other day dedicated to "Part 2".. or "Infinity War" and the "Untitled Avengers" project, as they're called now. It makes sense for them to film them back-to-back and span it over a 9 month period with the releases being a year apart, it'll save them money and it will free them to have the opportunity to have such a large ensemble of actors and actresses on set on the day of shooting instead of shooting one film and having to shoot another a year later and get these schedules all aligned. Having on solid film shoot makes the most sense for these films IMO. Npamusic (talk) 02:20, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

I have added the {{Db-move}} template to Draft:Avengers: Infinity War to allow this draft to move there, given the recent information. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:38, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

And for clarifications sake I'll add what I put at the production page talk here, regarding the removal of the "parts": Just to clarify for everyone, nothing is really changing. We've known since April 2015 that the films are going to be distinctive films, not really a "Part 1 / Part 2" situation. However, they are still being filmed "back-to-back" (which in this case, based on what the Russos have said, is really on top of one another, with one day Infinity War, the next the sequel) and will have the overarching storyline/elements that will make them two films of a larger whole. So the production article is still okay as it is, just needing a retitle once FKA Part 2 gets a title. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:30, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Using the billing block

Since the casts of these films are going to be massive, I was just pondering the best way to list the billed actors in our three locations: lead, infobox and cast section. My thought, depending on the size, is to use Top billed actors in the lead and infobox for order and inclusion, and the bottom billing for order and inclusion in the Cast section. What does everyone think of this? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Either way, we are going to have a big list, which is becoming increasingly common. I think we do it the same way as we always do, and if it feels like too much for the infobox, for example, we can discuss a change then. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:16, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Filming has begun

According to these two tweets from Atlanta Filming, filming has begun on Infinity War. Is it time to move to the mainspace? - Richiekim (talk) 14:22, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Not really, since that Twitter page does not have the verified sign. Therefore that fails RS. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:44, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Last we knew, the filming start got bumped to January. But November was the previous start date. Maybe this is some of that "pre-shoot" stuff like Gunn did on GotG2? But still, not reliable tweets to use, but we should all be on the look out. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:53, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Filming start date and cast list possibly revealed

Potentially January 23, 2017. See here. The source seems a bit questionable to me, but the date does seem plausible. As always, something to keep our eye on. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Also, here is a supposed cast list for the film. It indicates that Brie Larson and Karen Gillan will appear and that both films will be using the Mary Lou working title. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I thought you were one of the people who don't see it as a reliable source. After all, the casting sheet for Spider-Man: Homecoming wasn't accepted as a reliable source alone either? CAJH (talk) 16:59, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Favre has clearly mentioned, "something to keep our eye on". Means that info from the source could eventually be proven true, and hence worth adding here if covered by reliable sources. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I actually agree, because it doesn't add Mantis, Phil, Mordo, Falcon, Spidey, Rhodey, Agent 13, etc and it's just a rumor, the cast should be way more bigger than that for Avengers 3 & 4. - EgyptianGamer

Not all actors are always listed. Cobie Smulders and Benedict Wong are not part of the list but we already know that they'll appear in Infinity War. After all some already confirmed actors and actresses were missing from that Spider-Man: Homecoming casting call sheet as well, including Michael Keaton. CAJH (talk) 11:35, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

I knew that man, I saw the cast sheet and yeah Michael Keaton wasn't there, plus Avengers 3 & 4 are gonna have a bigger cast than that those are probably the main lead characters maybe. - EgyptianGamer

Smulders confirmed?

I watched the linked video and I don't really feel it confirms she's going to be in it. What's everyone's take on this? Rusted AutoParts 05:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

I thought it was all a joke, and that is why I decided not to add the info. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if she said anything before or after the clip, but I agree that this video doesn't contain anything that can be used as a source. - DinoSlider (talk) 05:50, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

The description of the video says "Cobie finally spills the beans on the next Marvel movie she's in - The Avengers: Infinity War." That is the only confirmation, as you all have stated above me, the video content in and of itself does not confirm her. I'll add the |quote= parameter with this info from the description to help clarify, but it would be nice overall to have a print source for this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

There's no OFFICIAL confirmation that she's coming back. She is not quoted as saying she is coming back and that YouTube video of her "spilling the beans" on Avengers: Infinity War was meant to be nothing more than click-bait by Jimmy Kimmel. There's nothing to showcase that proves she's in the film definitively. Npamusic (talk) 20:27, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Budget

The Scotland source claims the film has a budget of 400 million GBP, which is equivalent to about 491.8 million USD. Is this information worth putting in the article or should we wait until we have a source with USD? -RM (talk) 17:31, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Possibly? I'm not sure how this should be handled because it is listed in a foreign currency than USD. Is this something we're allowed to make conversions for per WP:CALC? Because I'm assuming given what the USD equivalent is, it will probably be $USD 500 million. Which, is, wow. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:10, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Agreed, wow! We knew it would be an expensive production, but that's record-setting. Rather than noting the budget in the infobox, we could make mention it in the article itself, noting that the source estimates the budget at 400m GBP and converting it to about 492m USD. I think it's probably original research to round to 500. -RM (talk) 03:59, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Well as I think of it now, this is probably $500m for both, so that'd be $250m a film, which is the budget Civil War had, so not necessarily as large as we were thinking. We could possibly do what you are suggesting on the Production article, and save info on individual film budgets for this and the untitled article once those come out. Because the production article should have the total budget listed there, so I don't see why we can't add something there, attributing it to The Daily Record. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:07, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I think it's still a rather high budget. You combine productions to shrunk the budget on both films, and let's face it, $250 isn't exactly cheap for a single film. Anyway, how should we write it in? -RM (talk) 23:06, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, I think we could just add it to the infobox of the production article, because we'd need to have some sort of commentary for a worthwhile inclusion in prose (which we may get in time). So for now, we can do this at the production article: |budget = $491.8 million<ref name="Scotland" /><!-- Converted amount from "Scotland" source which stated the budget to be £400 million. This number, a simiple calculation, is allowed per WP:CALC. -->. What do you think? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:43, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the info and help! -RM (talk) 02:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

No problem! Glad we worked through it to find the best way to present the info at this time. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:10, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Reliable?

Was looking to add in the cast section that Aaron Lazar will be Cumberbatch's stand-in during filming, and I guess two questions come from this: 1) is this worth mentioning at all? 2) if yes, is Page Six reliable? Quick search shows it is from the NY Daily News, but is mainly its gossip page. Source. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:19, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I think the source is fine to use. It's not like some gossip column has snuck a rumour into the middle of a crappy tabloid article, this appears to be a news magazine with editorial oversight that tends to focus on garbage ("Photo of Justin Trudeau's mom commando at Studio 54 up for auction") but in this case has reported something of use to us. And I do think it is worth mentioning, as this all seems pretty notable and an important part of trying to schedule these big films. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:42, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Concur with adamstom97.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:03, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, it's not really a full fledged confirmed thing. IIRC they're filming both Acengers sequels back to back so they could easily delay filming his scenes until he can physically be there. Rusted AutoParts 22:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

We don't know if they could easily do that though. It's obviously going to be very complicated to get everyone together for each scene needed, and I think this is an obvious issue that the production has to address. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:09, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

 Added here and at the sequel draft. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:37, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Should this be added to the production page as well?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I personally didn't feel this was something to note there, because it is mostly applicable to Cumberbatch. I'm equating it to a similar situation on the GotG article where we mention the actor who portrayed Groot on set. That is only mentioned in Groot's paragraph in the Cast section. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Very well.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:59, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I mean, if everyone else thinks it would be beneficial to have on the production article, please by all means add it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I see your point, but I can also see it being mentioned from the angle that Cumberbatch has scheduling conflicts that will require reshoots and a stand-in during a lot of production, not necessarily making Lazar the center of information. Either way, its no biggie.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

And see, I was not thinking about it from that angle for the production article. So if you have wording in mind to make that the focal point, please do add it! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:09, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Filming has begun

According to ComicBook.com, filming for Infinity War has begun. Time to move to the mainspace? - Richiekim (talk) 21:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

See Talk:Production of Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers sequel#Has filming started?.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:36, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Move to mainspace checklist

Who knows what's going on anymore between these films and Black Panther all starting to film now or any day now. As such, adding this again here for this film, and the same for the sequel draft.

1. Move to the mainspace! This can happen in two ways: contact an admin to perform the move (which requires the deletion of Avengers: Infinity War in the mainspace). User:Czar has been helpful in the past to moving the draft. OR place {{db-move|1=[draft page]|2=Filming has begun on the film, allowing it to enter the mainspace per [[WP:NFF]].}} at Avengers: Infinity War. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE! (We can ping Czar here when we are ready for the move).  Done
   1. If the moving admin does not do this, be sure to remove {{Draft article}} and unhide the categories.  Done
2. Change the template at List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films#Avengers: Infinity War (2018) from {{further}} to {{main}} including both this article and the production article. Update the table on the List of films article to link directly to the new article and that its status is "Filming".
   1. Update the templates at The Avengers (2012 film)#Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron#Sequels and Avengers_(comics)_in_other_media#Live_action to only include the new film article, not the production article. That doesn't seem immediately appropriate to link from these sections, at least in the hat templates.  Done
3. Add the logo image to the infobox (File:Avengers Infinity War logo.jpg) unless a new one is revealed, in which case, upload that and use it.  Done
4. Fix redirects currently going to Production of Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers sequel to the new mainspace article. Okay so there are a lot of redirects, so I'm not going to list them all.  Done
   1. We'll also have to make sure things are not piped as [[Production of Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers sequel|Avengers: Infinity War]]. I think once the name change was revealed I handled instances of the first film going to its redirect. It's links to the untitled film that might be piped a lot.  Done
5. Add the article link to all the nav boxes used in the article.  Done
6. If Marvel provides us with a press release indicating filming starting, add any info from that to our respective pages (castings mainly).
   1. Yeah this would be a blessing. I think if and when we do get a press release (hopefully) listing all the cast members, that one source can be used in the small production info we have on this article.

As always, let me know if there are any questions or concerns. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

@Czar: This draft is ready to move. We have a reliable source stating filming will begin on January 23. Thanks! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:30, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

done czar 06:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Is there a source stating this in past tense? If there is, this page may be moved. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Mantis may be in the film(s)

The signs are there, but one can draw many conclusions from this since nothing is explicitly stated. As always, keep our eyes peeled for more concrete/reliable info. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:45, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Sean Gunn's involvement

I don't believe he's actually in the film as Kraglin, but it's clear that he may be just doing the on-set motion capture for Rocket for the film. Anyone else want to weigh in on this? Npamusic (talk) 01:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I assumed he was just there for Rocket, but he could be there for both. We just don't know at the moment. - adamstom97 (talk) 01:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

At the moment, since we don't know exactly what the role is, we should hold off adding here. However, the info can be added to the production article, which I will do now. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Mantis confirmed for Infinity War

Pom Klementieff has confirmed on her Instagram that she will be in Avengers: Infinity War: https://www.instagram.com/p/BP0VFFZg11J/?hl=en — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.120.181 (talk) 18:45, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Well then, go ahead, add it. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Oscars list Johansson as starring in Infinity War

While announcing the first batch of presenters for this years ceremony, which includes Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, they listed Infinity War as one of her upcoming projects. [1]. It's not a full fledged article detailing she's in it, but the Academy is a fairly major organization. Can this be used to put her in the article? Rusted AutoParts 18:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

I think it is passable. On an unrelated note, this source says Boseman will appear as Black Panther, and I'm not sure if it passes WP:RS. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:27, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

I've personally never heard of Tripped Media, so I'm iffy on that one. Rusted AutoParts 03:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

They seem to be basing their information on previous reports and rumours, so we shouldn't take it as some reliable revelation. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:35, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Does this also apply to the Academy Awards source up above? Rusted AutoParts 03:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

I think contractual stuff probably goes into Academy press releases like that, so I am more inclined to trust that release, but I'd like to see what some others say about it. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

@TriiipleThreat:, @Favre1fan93: Rusted AutoParts 03:56, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

I am inclined to feel it is trustworthy as well, but also wouldn't mind hold out a bit longer. But I wouldn't oppose the addition of the info if this was the source. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:12, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

del Toro

So it appears Josh Brolin confirmed that del Toro would be filming scenes soon in an Instagram Live video, but the frustrating thing is Instagram Live videos are not reposted to be viewed afterwards. Thus we are stuck with sources like this, this, and this that mention it or are all heading back to unreliable sources, also mentioning the Instagram video. Can any of these be used, given the nature of Instagram Live videos? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:59, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Id say so, as they're not stating it as "Was Benicio Del Toro just confirmed for Infinity War?" (The Slashfilm source at least), they're saying it as a matter of fact, pointing to Brolin's live stream.

If Josh Brolin confirmed then add him, but we could wait till Marvel can hurry up and announce the production and cast list for Avengers 3 & 4

Falcon and Rocket confirmed for Infinity War

The official first marketing video for Avengers: Infinity War verified various characters to appear in the film. Some of these, namely are Sam Wilson / Falcon and Rocket, can be seen in the concept art shown within the video clip. Marvel would not release a 'first view' of the movie, if they weren't going to included them in the film. This needs to be rectified. --DisneyMetalhead (talk) 08:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

I even heard that Anthony Mackie said "With the Infinity War" something something blah blah. BTW what source did you found out about Rocket & Falcon being confirmed? Plus don't forget Marvel should be announcing the cast list anytime soon for avengers 3 & 4 confirming them both. And even if the source you found actually confirms them, don't forget it doesn't confirm the actors Mackie and Cooper. Plus I really hope all the characters confirmed for Avengers 3 are confirmed for Avengers 4. - EgyptianGamer

Just watch the official Avengers: Infinity War production video they just released. It can be viewed here or anywhere else online. They show lots of concept art for the film, and one of those shows that Thor is teamed up with Rocket in the film.

--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 16:53, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

That doesn't confirm whether the actor is returning though. There's a clip of Ant-Man shown, but Paul Rudd is currently filming The Catcher Was a Spy. Just wait until Marvel, Feige or the actors confirm they're in it and stop speculating over concept art and hats. Rusted AutoParts 17:13, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

I wouldn't say it is 'speculation' when the studio who is advertising their next film, shows the characters in the production video. Perhaps until the actor or Feige makes an announcement of all the cast, listing in a paragraph format under the rest of the cast something along the lines of "Falcon, Ant-Man, Rocket, and..... are also confirmed to make appearances in the film" would make the article more accurate. On another note - the order of the cast listing doesn't make any sense. Can someone explain to me why it is in the order that it currently is?

--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 23:30, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

It is speculation. All it is is footage of their previous movies. No addition off cast until the hey are confirmed by Feige, Marvel or the actors. And it's been explained numerous times, the cast list right now is listed by when the actor was confirmed to appear until a cast list is offered by Marvel.

James Gunn confirms Sean Gunn is doing mo-cap reference for Rocket Raccoon along with Bradley Cooper returning to voice Rocket in "Avengers: Infinity War"

Spider-Man confirmed for Infinity War

Tom Holland confirmed in an Instagram video (which you can see a pic from in this link here: https://twitter.com/iniciativav/status/829868047246704641) that Spider-Man will be in "Avengers: Infinity War" by showing off a beenie hat with the Infinity War logo on it.

You can barely make it out. It's the same hat I'm sure, but wearing a hat isn't confirming a role. Unless they make a statement about it with said hat photo. Rusted AutoParts 02:06, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Agreed. Not a very clear picture, plus having a hat does not automatically mean he's in the film. He could have thought it was cool (which a lot of people seem to be thinking) and asked Marvel for one. And as Dino said, not a verified Twitter account. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanos main character?

Why is Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man listed as the main character when Kevin Fiege said in an interview that Josh Brolin as Thanos is the main character of Infinity War. - DCTrinity (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Since there has not yet been an announced billing order, the current order in the article is based on when an actor was confirmed for the film. Adjustments will be made once a reliable source is released providing a new order. - DinoSlider (talk) 00:45, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

And he'll probably get last billing anyways too as "with/and Josh Brolin as Thanos". - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Tessa Thompson on set

Is this enough to confirm her? I don't think it is. The info is from a fan selfie in the area where filming is occurring, but we have no indication she is actually filming. She could very we be visiting. (Yes this is very unlikely, but still we don't know for certain). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:11, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Also, Mark Ruffalo has been seen in Scotland too, and he just posted this picture on his Instagram with the caption: "Hello old friend. The incredible green behemoth comes round again. Prepare thee for #ragnorok". There is no indication that this is a current photo, but after I saw this, I though it could be conceivable that Ragnarok reshoots are happening in Scotland because a majority of the cast is there anyways. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

New Synopsis

I found this new synopsis released for the film, "As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality.

Parts 1 and 2?

Should we mention that this film was originally announced as Infinity War part 1 with the "untitled sequel" as part 2 before plans chanhed? It seems fairly likely that a significant portion of our readership will have heard the original announcement in 2014 but didn't necessarily follow later developments, so as we currently present the untitled sequel it is likely confusing. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 10:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

The lead already says, "The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1". Another sentence goes, "In July 2016, Marvel shortened the titled to Avengers: Infinity War". What more do you want? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:04, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

The lead and the body are supposed to stand separately. The lead should never contain non-basic information not also contained in the body, and the fact that the untitled sequel was originally titled "Part 2" should be covered in the "Sequel" section. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm not understanding this complaint either. This is all explained in the first paragraph of the Production section as well as the lead.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:28, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Meh. I think it should be explained in the "Sequel" section; we are talking about the change of the sequel's title after all. But I'm getting the sense I'm not gonna change anyone's mind. There's no point arguing a minor point like that. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:10, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Article contradicts itself regarding expected end-date of filming

[F]ilming [...] in Scotland, [begun] in February 2017, [...] is expected to last for six months [until August 2017 doesn't jive with the following line's Filming is expected to last until June or July 2017. The source for the latter make's it clear that the expectation is Collider's extrapolation from Feige's announcement that the sequel would begin filming in August. This may be a fair assumption on their part, but if we are going to quote them on it we should explain how they came to that conclusion.

There are also a bunch of ways they could be wrong. If it's anything like the last film, then certain cast, and presumably certain crew, are working in certain locations, and said people may not be involved at all in the sequel. Let's say, for example, Iron Man goes off to Scotland alone to fight some bad guys, and that's why they are shooting there, but he dies in this film and RDJ is not in the following film. This would mean RDJ's scenes wrapping would have no direct relation to the following film's shooting dates. Heck, The Last Jedi began (and I think finished?) shooting in Ireland before The Force Awakens was even released.

I still think we should cite Collider's estimate as a rough closing date, but we need to state how they got there. The clear implication is that whoever will be involved in the earliest stages of filming Avengers Four will be minimally involved in whatever is left of the Scotland shoot in August.

Captain Marvel

Brie Larson needs to be added as Carol Danvers. Here's my source: https://www.themarysue.com/captain-marvel-in-infinity-war/

Since we don't know how she will be adapted to the MCU (whether the adaptation is based on the version of the Air Force Danvers or space program Danvers has yet to be announced), her listing in the cast section should be placed before Terry Notary's listing as a henchman to Thanos, in the small paragraph on the bottom. Basically, it should be close to saying "additionally, Brie Larson will make her debut appearance as Carol Danvers (source), and Terry Notary will appear as a henchman to Thanos." It should also be this way due to the significance of her character in the MCU. - Theironminer (talk) 18:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

The source says they got their info from MovieCastingCall.com, an unreliable source.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

But then there's this source, which reveals her involvement from the Russo brothers themselves: http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-marvel-in-avengers-infinity-war/ - Theironminer (talk) 18:37, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

It is still WP:FRUIT since all of the reports trace back to unverified claims on twitter. - DinoSlider (talk) 18:46, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Alright, I can see where the WP:FRUIT comes into play. Are you sure the explanation from the Russo brothers doesn't count though? There should be a sense of reassurance from the big guys themselves (plus, any verification that this topic traces back to twitter claims (http://comicbook.com/2016/05/06/russo-brothers-accidentally-confirm-captain-marvel-in-avengers-i/)?) Aside from that, it looks like several other articles discussing Larson as Danvers are labeling her as an Avengers: Infinity War star (for example: http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/790146/Avengers-Infinity-War-Captain-Marvel-Brie-Larson-Doctor-Strange). I assume the addition of her to the cast section will take time, similar to how long it took for everyone to realize how Mister Sinister would not be in Logan. - Theironminer (talk) 19:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

The Russo quote is what cannot be verified. The comicbook.com article says "might have just confirmed" and the express.co.uk article seems iffy because it isn't really reporting that fact. At the time the Russo's supposedly made this comment, it was still a 2-part film, so it could just as easily have meant that she was in part 2. My personal opinion/hope is that while Carol Danvers might show up in Infinity War, she won't be Captain Marvel until her solo film. - DinoSlider (talk) 19:54, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

I actually hope that's the case too. Having the standalone film be the origin of Captain Marvel seems like the right turn. Hopefully that also means you're right about what they said about part two. Thank you for clearing this up with those articles/sources. - Theironminer (talk) 21:56, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Actor billing order

The billing order of the actors needs to be improved. If any previous MCU films such as Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, or Captain America: Civil War are any indication, then the billing order follows usually in this order: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet Johansen, Jeremy Renner at least for the first six billing actors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.116.42 (talk) 18:59, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Ant-Man in Cast

I think Paul Rudd's credit as Ant-Man should be removed, unless another source can corroborate it. The current article cited by the page that confirms his involvement in Infinity War has been updated/corrected, saying the set photos are actually of Ant-Man and the Wasp, which is filming concurrently.

With the D23 exclusive poster that has debuted online, wouldn't it make sense to have that as the image for the page? At least until a theatrical poster is released?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 22:31, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

No, since it is not an "official" poster. It is solely an exclusive poster for the D23 event. The logo can suffice for now. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:57, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

There is a new 'official' triple poster which when combined includes most of the film's characters. This may add constructively to the page.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 19:15, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

It is still concept art. The images should be logos and then official teaser or theatrical release posters, not concept art images, even if they are official. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:23, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Steve Rogers / Captain America

I am well aware that the comments made by the Russo brothers suggest otherwise, but would it be worthwhile to include the Captain America name in the cast section alongside Steve Rogers? I ask this as the official D23 poster depicts Steve in the bottom left corner in the Captain America costume minus the helmet. - TheDarkKnight180 (talk) 22:24, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 October 2017

Scarlett Johannson's name should be before a lot of the other actors. She was the highest grossing movie actor of 2016 and besides Black Widow is a central character. Why is her name in the end? There's no way in hell Elizabeth Oleson should have her name before Scarlett. Are you killing her character or giving her 5 mins camera time? I can't think of any other reason other than maybe hating Scarlett to have her name be last. I mean it's your marketing, but maybe next time remember whose name is what brings in the money.

Their desire is to have Johansson at top billing based off being a high grossing actress last year. That is an absolutely ridiculous request. We don’t list based off income, until there’s a billing block to refer to it’s listed by way of being confirmed to feature. Johansson was the latest confirmation so that’s why she’s last listed.

Change the release date that you see when you look the movie up from the Netherlands release date to the US release date

Not done: The article already shows the US release date. Please state exactly what you want changed ("please change X to Y") RudolfRed (talk) 02:42, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

29 names in lead section

The lead section had listed 29 cast members' names in a sentence, which is extraordinarily bad practice. I literally see three lines of nothing but names. There is no good reading comprehension to be had in this. It should be left to the cast list (and even the "Starring" field looks ridiculously long). Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 23:29, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I agree; even the infobox cast list is too long, and a list of 29 names belongs in the cast section. All the best, Miniapolis 23:56, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Once the billing block is released we can neutrally trim it down.—TriiipleThreat (talk) 00:42, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I agree with Erik. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:48, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Even the billing block is too much. I'm sure we discussed that when there is star billing on the poster and it's smaller than the billing block listing that we use the star billing. Given the film isn't out and that we don't know who is starring the Infobox starring box should just be empty for now. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 13:55, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

We could even just do an anchor link from the "Starring" field to the "Cast" section for the time being. I've seen it done with a Star Trek film article and thought it was a novel approach. I wasn't as sure about the infobox, but the prose approach just stood out as problematic. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:58, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to the Star Trek article you are referring to? That sounds like a viable compromise. - DinoSlider (talk) 14:13, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

@Darkwarriorblake: Well, we don’t know if the billing block will be too much, since it hasn’t been released yet. But I can say with absolute certainty that it will contain fewer than 29 names.—TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:27, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Maybe, we know that they can be pretty indulgent even with minor roles in the Marvel films. At the very least there are 20 people on this article who have starred in their individual films so I would at least expect them to appear in the billing. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 16:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

As Triiiple has noted, we have no idea what any idea of a billing block will look like, as a poster is not out nor did we get an official press release where this info can be figured out from. As such, I think it would be best to revisit this once we do have this to better formulate how to cut down this info. Because right now, it is simply "This is too long" (I don't disagree), but any solution would just be us debating opinions on who should or shouldn't stay, when we can use a billing block to help support arguments or solutions. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I cannot agree with the concept of trimming it down only when more info is available. It looks sloppy, and it's something we all recognize. Therefore I suggest the list either be severely trimmed down or we get rid of the names in the lead entirely for the time being. The latter option may sound harsh, but consider the fact that by large the people going to this page will know who's starring in it, so for the next couple weeks not having any actors listed in the paragraph would not be that detrimental. Keeping the paragraph the way it is. for such a searched movie, I feel undermines the projects credibility. --Deathawk (talk) 03:51, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

I would completely support simply not mentioning the cast members' names directly in prose. We could do something like "and features an ensemble cast including lead actors from these previous films: Avengers, Guardians, etc." The fact it's being called (rightly) an "ensemble cast" is a good enough reason right there to not list everyone out. Save it for a cast list. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:29, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

The point of waiting for the billing block, and following it, is to avoid editor's personal opinions. And remember that this article is supposed to be part of a good topic of articles with a somewhat-consistent style. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:49, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I meant "don't mention specific actors" until there's an actual "official list" from whatever source. But if that list is beyond a certain length (for instance, if it actually lists 29 actors), it would be bad English to render it in prose however official it may be. That's not "editors' personal opinions": that's how to write well. In that case (a long list of actors that is unwieldy in a single sentence), I would recommend we not list any actors in prose and instead mention what Marvel properties they are drawn from or directly refer people to a cast list. —Joeyconnick (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

For what it's worth, we can use some form of WP:ANCHOR to state that there is an ensemble cast and then link to the "Cast" section, something like "(see below)" or whatever linking approach is considered appropriate. DinoSlider, regarding an anchor link in the infobox, I think the Star Trek film articles have been changed since I saw them, but this is what I meant. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:01, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

I somewhat agree as a temporary measure and as long as it doesn't set a precedent. A big part of WP:READERSFIRST is readability but another big part is giving them the information that they are looking for upfront, which is why we have infoboxes in the first place.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:33, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

I would argue that by putting 29 names is not serving the reader at all. We're giving them the information, yes, but doing it in such a sloppy manner that it doesn't benefit anyone. It's actually kinda shocking that it took so long to catch on to this, is in the first place. --Deathawk (talk) 19:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Vanity Fair Cast Photos

A load of Vanity Fair Infinity War posters have been released displaying characters that were previously unconfirmed such as Nick Fury, Hank Pym, Linda Barton etc. Even though I cannot seem to find any written confirmation of these character's involvement, it is almost certain that they are in Infinity War based off of these images. Should the cast be updated?--Smithy Chris (talk) 15:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Technically, the articles/photos are about the 10 year anniversary, not Infinity War. The articles are here and here. - DinoSlider (talk) 15:53, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

This was about the 10 year anniversary, so someone being in one of those photos does not necessarily confirm their presence in any specific film. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

 Not done. While it's unlikely, there's a possibility we don't have permission to use the poster's image. Wikipedia is really cautious about photographs and their owners so we can't really just take pictures off Google Image Search, Twitter, Facebook, etc. CityOfSilver 19:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Cast members confirmed by Marvel and Vanity Fair?

Recently four different covers promoting Infinity War have been published by Vanity Fair, revealing appearances from Gwyneth Paltrow, Evangeline Lilly, Tessa Thompson, and Jon Favereau. Infinity War has been added to the filmography lists for all of them, but if they're on those lists, shouldn't they be listed in the billing on the page for Infinity War? (NOTE: I am aware that the magazines are in honor of the ten year anniversary of the MCU, but other cast members featured in the MCU that aren't part of Infinity War's billing don't have the film in their filmography section, yet these four do.) - Theironminer (talk) 13:32, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

What "filmography lists" are you referring to? - DinoSlider (talk) 14:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Filmography lists like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwyneth_Paltrow#Filmography - Theironminer (talk) 01:05, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

In that example, Infinity War was added after the Vanity Fair article's publication by an anonymous editor without a reliable source. It seems to me that her filmography is the one that is questionable. - DinoSlider (talk) 18:04, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

You have to keep in mind that that VF photshoot happened during filming of Avengers 4, hence not everybody in those photos has to be in Infinity War. (In a reddit AMA the article writer said there are group shots with Brie Larson who is confirmed only for Avengers 4.) I wouldn't rely on those pictures and also not on filmographies, since they're mostly copies of the IMDb (which can be crap during rumour season). --H8149 (talk) 21:31, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Well, if there's nothing to confirm, then Infinity War probably shouldn't be included on the filmography lists of not just Paltrow, but that of Lilly, Thompson, and Favereau, unless there are sources saying if any of them are in fact in Infinity War. - Theironminer (talk) 22:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Chris Evans as Steve Rogers I think you should change Steve Rogers in Steve Rogers/Captain America Because on iron man(Tony Stark / Iron Man) or Hulk (Bruce Banner / Hulk) and others this is how it was written Draudes (talk) 21:26, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

The reason it is not listed that way is because after Civil War, Rogers is no longer Captain America and that's how Infinity War starts. We're all pretty much certain that he WILL become Captain America again at some point but there's no confirmation that it will be within this movie, or if he'll also be going by another name, like Nomad, as he did in the comics. So that's the reason for him only being listed as Steve Rogers for the time being. NJZombie (talk) 01:41, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Ant-Man will not be in Avengers: Infinity War

The trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp was just released and the synopsis clearly says it's set in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, so Paul Rudd should be removed from the cast list for Avengers: Infinity War. --TVBuff90 (talk) 14:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

What does the film's setting have to do with Avengers: Infinity War? Besides, you need a RS with explicit verification to counter the existing sources, not personal observations.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

There are actual photos of Rudd filming Avengers: Infinity War, providing a source that he is in the film. We don't know if he's in FBI custody, as shown in the Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer, because he surrenders himself in Avengers: Infinity War. In fact we don't know the context at in which he appears within Avengers: Infinity War but we do know he was filmed for it and therefor should remain listed in the cast list.

Infinity War redirect

Currently, "Infinity War" redirects to "The Infinity War", a comics storyline which the film (as claimed) is not based on. Would it be better if it redirected to the film article? That's because the comic's title includes a "The" which the film's title does not. ----Kailash29792 (talk) 04:53, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

That makes sense to me, especially since I think "Infinity War" does/will have more notability attached to this film. I will make the change, and add a hatnote here redirecting back to the comic article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:08, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Run time

Hi this is EgyptianMarvelSWFan here and recently news came around that IW will be 2hrs and 36 mins long from multiple sites like this here: https://www.cbr.com/avengers-infinity-war-runtime-2/ They reported the runtime from AMC theaters.

A similar situation was with Ragnarok, but runtime was the same.46.146.4.124 (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

The thing is, some theatres, like those in India, put an interval in the midst of the movie; thereby rendering a longer runtime. Also, some theatres may not screen the post-credits scene. ----Kailash29792 (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
