About two months ago saw Anthony and Joe Russo make mention they have so many characters that they are dealing with for Avengers: Infinity War that they have a board with 67 characters on it to keep track of everything.
Shortly after that, however, the Russo’s backtracked on the statement clarifying they were being figurative, and that they just meant there are a lot of characters.
The latest comes out of the Wizard World Cleveland Comic-Com where Cleveland.com reports the Russo’s clarified their earlier statement and now say there are 68 – not 67 – characters in Avengers: Infinity War.
We’re guessing, similar to the above, that the Russo’s are just having fun with the numbers, but there will still be lots of Marvel characters appearing.
“We have to tell a story and that story has to be built around the characters’ emotional arcs,” Joe Russo added. “And we can only have so many of those.”
“The Avengers: Infinity War” Part 1 hits May 4, 2018, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.
