Believe me, Iâm tired of every movie, you know, âItâs the end! Itâs Armageddon! Itâs the Be All, End All, Forever!â And then itâs ⊠not. This one actually is. [Laughs] Theyâre not kidding. This is a heads-will-roll scenario.
As The Avengers: Infinity War features upwards of 70 or so characters, one way of getting them all involved is having the characters team up. A new image features Robert Downey Jr. with Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Wong.
I love how Cumberbatch just comes in and kind of draws flaming circles anywhere and can basically step into your movie. Thatâs fun. And we wanted to keep a little bit of the Science Bros thing alive, even though Ruffalo has been on such an amazing Banner/Hulk journey himself. I really, really, really enjoyed getting to know and work with and play around with Benedict as Strange. Benedict Wong also, by the way is fantastic.
The Avengers: Infinity War also features Tom Holland, with both Holland and Robert Downey Jr. having appeared together in the recent Spider-Man: Homecoming movie.Â
I think [Marvel] is smart: âOh yeah, we like the Parker/Stark thing.â So letâs keep them at close quarters as long as we can. Someone under your tutelage is now firing on all cylinders, but youâre responsible for bringing them into deeper water. We knew that would be fruitful.
Gwyneth Paltrow also returns for The Avengers: Infinity War as Pepper Potts.Â
It was hard to thread Pepper through every story that Tony was in, so we took opportunities to say, âWeâre taking a break, and itâs my fault.â [Laughs] Now, he and Pepper have kind of locked it up. We were talking about them living in some eco-lodge together, but then we thought, âEh, any time they move somewhere [villains] just blow it up, so no oneâs gonna believe that itâll stay long.â
Pepper remains the heart of the [Iron Man] story. I think we wanted to get back to that reality. Not just for them, but letâs really see how that can add to the something-worth-fighting-for of it all.
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studiosâ âAvengers: Infinity Warâ 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.
