Marvel surprised fans Friday night by releasing a first look at its next Avengers movie, and it's official: the Guardians of the Galaxy are going to meet Marvel's finest and Spider-Man.
Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, and Chris Pratt joined together to announce that production started January 23, 2017 on "Avengers: Infinity War."
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the third "Avengers" film will finally unite the six infinity gem stones that have been spread throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Together, they'll fall into the hands of Thanos (Josh Brolin), a villain first teased at the end of "Avengers" who appeared on screen in 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy."
That's not good news for anyone and it couldn't come at a worse time when the Avengers are at odds and torn apart following the events of "Civil War."
The teaser released from Marvel shows off concept art from the film and shots of several of the actors on set.
"Tony senses this greater threat approaching, and so he is doing everything in his power to keep the Earth safe," says director Joe Russo in the video. "The most exciting part is the incredible roster of well-developed characters and it's gonna create a really combustible, exciting, massive-scale adventure."
Before "Infinity War," we still have a few movies to go including this year's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and a third "Thor" movie. "Infinity War" is expected to be released in 2018.
