Avengers: Infinity War production starts today as Dave Bautista confirms Drax the Destroyer

January 23, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Over the weekend we brought you the first set photos from Black Panther [see here], and now comes word that production is underway on Marvel’s second big superhero release of 2018, Avengers: Infinity War.

Responding to a tweet from Variety which stated that Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen are yet to see the Infinity War script, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista confirmed his inclusion in the Marvel epic, and revealed that he too is yet to get his hands on the screenplay, despite starting shooting today:

Welp!!! That makes 3 of us! And I start filming tomorrow! 😱 #MarvelShroudofSecrecy 😖 https://t.co/zBOvqy3h6F

— Dave Bautista (@DaveBautista) January 22, 2017

We’ve now had word that Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, Vin Diesel’s Groot and Karen Gillan’s Nebula will all feature in Infinity War, so presumably we can add the rest of the Guardians line-up to that list, assuming they make it out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 alive, of course (but they’re surely not going to kill off Rocket, right?).

Avengers: Infinity War is set for release on May 2nd 2018, followed by Avengers 4 on May 3rd, 2019.

Originally published January 23, 2017. Updated November 30, 2022.
