WhileAvengers: Infinity Waronly just wrapped filming last month, production is already underway on the follow-upAvengers 4, and some new set photos have arrived showing off a tantalizing set. While directorsJoeandAnthony Russoinitially intended to shootInfinity Warand the untitled fourthAvengersmovie at the same time, schedule-wise it became too difficult to manage (not to mention the fact that they want both movies to look distinct), so they and Marvel Studios opted insteadto shoot the films back-to-back.
The bulk ofInfinity Warwas shot from January of this year to July, with Joe Russo revealing to us thatthere are still a couple ofInfinity Warscenes to be shotduring production forAvengers 4. This fourthAvengersmovie, together withInfinity War, is the “culmination” of the entire MCU we’ve seen previously, which explains the massive cast. We haven’t yet gotten confirmation of just who, exactly, is inAvengers 4, but we do know thatEvangeline Lilly’sAnt-Mancharacter is poised to appear, and there’s a pretty safe bet thatBrie Larson’s Captain Marvel shows up inAvengers 4as well.
Schedule-wise these inclusions make sense.Ant-Man and the Waspis now filming in Atlanta on the same backlot asAvengers 4, so Lilly can shoot her scenes easily. AndCaptain Marvelis poised to start filming in early 2018, so Larson will either don the uniform early and shoot anAvengers 4cameo or production of both films will overlap. Or maybe she’s not in it after all.
While we know next to nothing about the plot ofAvengers 4at the moment, these set photos from Atlanta reveal that some portion of the film will take place in Japan. Globe-trotting was a staple ofAvengers: Age of Ultron, which shot partially in Seoul, South Korea, so it’ll be interesting to see how Japan factors into the plot ofAvengers 4. These massive moves aren’t made solely for North American audiences, and indeed the finale ofDoctor Strangetook place in Hong Kong, so the inclusion of Asian territories on the screen not only expands the visual palate but also makes the films themselves more intriguing for international audiences.
