The directors and the writers deserve praise for not making Infinity War feel rushed, as it has plenty of quiet meaningful moments for its characters, especially for Vision (Paul Bettany) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Quill and Gamora, and Stark. In addition to the delight of seeing various characters who've never met each other rub off on one another, talk shop, and exchange banter, it's also staggering to see how much Marvel's universe has grown when it's all brought together on a single canvas. It’s fun to see Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) insecurity rub up against Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) hyper-masculinity, the collision of egos between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Cap's (Chris Evans) inability to understand humour, or even the clash between Bruce Banner and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). That ensures the villains are taken seriously, and that there's a heft to them.Īt the same time, it’s amazing that the film, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely – they also penned The Winter Soldier and Civil War – has a handle on every character and makes sure their idiosyncrasies, mannerisms, and behaviours get a glimpse, which provides a lot of humour within its otherwise heavy self-serious narrative. Moreover, the film clearly establishes early on, that Thanos (Josh Brolin) is extraordinary powerful, and his four minions – his adoptive children like Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) were – are quite capable on their own. That helps generate stakes and makes Infinity War different from any other Marvel film.

And because this new mega team-up is the beginning of the end for the current generation of Marvel superheroes, and because the film has dozens of characters, it can do away with some and still have plenty to go around.

The trouble with all that is when audiences know the characters are being kept away from any serious consequences, there’s no real gravitas in the danger posed by the villains.Īnthony and Joe Russo, the directing duo of Avengers: Infinity War – in addition to Civil War and The Winter Soldier previously – know this better than anyone. Characters who seemingly died have been brought back in the same film, be it Nick Fury in The Winter Soldier, Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, or Loki in Thor: The Dark World. For all the hell unleashed by Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his Chitauri army in The Avengers, Ultron and his army of robot clones in Age of Ultron, or the Avengers’ internal dispute that was at the centre of Captain America: Civil War, our heroes have more or less come out unharmed at the other end. Perhaps the site has made an accidental error, which of course, is apt to happen to any of us.The most frequent complaint for Marvel's biggest movies has been a lack of stakes. Though, before coming to such conclusions is best we take other avenues as to why Larson is listed on the Fandango page. It seems then, that Larson will indeed appear in the upcoming Avengers sequel. To prepare for such occasion, Fandango has updated their Avengers: Infinity War page and surprisingly, one name listed on the site’s cast list is Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. With Avengers: Infinity War releasing next month, tickets will soon be available for purchase.

But now, according to the movie ticket website Fandango, it seems Brie Larson will appear in the film after all.

As of recent, though, Brandon Davis of further confirmed that Captain Marvel wouldn’t appear in the film, thereby concurring with Anthony Russo’s previous remarks. Many fans took that as confirmation that while Larson wouldn’t don the superhero suit in said movie, she would rather perhaps make her MCU debut as air force pilot Carol Danvers in Infinity War. Not too long ago, Avengers: Infinity War co-director Anthony Russo told that Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel wouldn’t appear in the Avengers film. Brie Larson as Captain Marvel is listed to appear in Avengers: Infinity War, according to Fandango.
