Chris Pratt On The Avengers: Infinity War & Infinity Gauntlet

Chris Pratt On The Avengers: Infinity War & Infinity Gauntlet

Marvel Studios released The Avengers: Infinity War trailer yesterday morning to record breaking numbers!

The new Avengers: Infinity War trailer featured just a bit of the Guardians of the Galaxy compared to the Comic-Con version (watch here)

Chris Pratt took to Instagram to offer up his thoughts on the comic book that inspired the MCU movie, Infinity Gauntlet:

When I was twelve I won $300 playing bingo and bought a bunch of comic books. I didn’t know much about comics except I wanted to buy a No. 1, because I knew that it would totally increase in value and one day I would sell it (along with my 86 Topps baseball card full set) for probably hundreds of millions and buy a private island. Anyways, in that stack of comics? “The Infinity Gauntlet.” It had some scary dude named Thanos on the cover with a sweet sparkly michael jackson glove with all these shiny rubies and sh-t on it. Little did I know… baseball cards would end up being pretty worthless and same with comics in terms of an investment. If I was to buy an island it would have to be the old fashioned way. (Playing a character that existed in the comics) Anyways… I forgot the point of this post… here is a trailer for a film I did. I swear I had a point. Something about destiny, or bingo. Anyways… join the hundreds of millions of people around the globe who will see this all in anticipation of its May 4th release

I can definitely relate to what Chris Pratt has to say as I can remember first buying the Infinity Gauntlet as well. I was 15 or so at the time and walked into my local comic book shop who puts the new weekly comics flat on a table. I walked up to the table and saw the epic George Perez cover and knew I had to buy it! I recall looking at each of the copies as the corners were a bit frayed and chose the one I thought was most mint (lol). I still have it to this day as well as promo material for the event (see below). I was also big into baseball cards at an earlier age and thought they would make me rich, too (lol).

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. “Avengers: Infinity War” releases in U.S. theaters on May 4, 2018.
