During an interview with Yahoo! Movies (via /Film), Captain America: Civil War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have provided an update on their next big Marvel project, Avengers: Infinity War and its now currently untitled follow-up.
“We’re many drafts in,” states the duo. “We’re on the third draft of movie one and the second draft of movie two. [We’re writing them in tandem] as much as we can. On any given day, you’re only working on one but that doesn’t mean that next week, you aren’t working on the other one. And certainly, notes are coming in and all sorts of production stuff is coming in, like for instance, ‘that thing over there is now a window not a door so adjust that.’ Or, ‘we’re not going to this town now, we’re going to this town.’ That kind of stuff happens constantly and will continue to happen for the next few months.”
“When we lock ourselves in a room with the Russo brothers and a couple of execs from Marvel, one wall has cards for movie one and the other wall has cards for movie two and another wall has little baseball cards of every character still alive in the Marvel universe,” they continue. “Down to Darcy’s boyfriend in Thor 2 – literally, anybody who did not die and has been established as alive. And then we looked at that began to shuffle the cards around. So basically, the big scene is when Darcy’s boyfriend and Galactus get together and….[Laughs].”
While the comments give very little away, they do seem to indicate that the formerly-titled Part I and Part II are still one connected story, which was a little unclear following Marvel’s recent decision to retitle the movies.
Avengers: Infinity War is scheduled for release on May 4th, 2018, with Untitled Avengers following on May 3rd, 2019.
