While most of the production onAvengers: Infinity Warhas taken place in Atlanta, where a majority of the Marvel movies are filmed, we reported in March thatInfinity War productionwould shift to New York in May. With production now winding down, it seems the superhero sequel will be heading back to the Big Apple for another shoot starting tomorrow. While no details about this shoot have been revealed yet, it’s possible that this could be one of the final scenes before production wraps.
XMelDNY Twitterrevealed signs posted near the Queens hotel Penthouse @ Ravel, for a film shoot entitled “Mary Sue” which is the production code name forAvengers: Infinity War. It isn’t clear what stars may or may not be present for this shoot, but since it is in New York, it’s possible that heroes based in the Big Apple such asSpider-Man(Tom Holland) orDoctor Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch) could be involved in this scene. Still, we don’t have a cast list for this shoot yet, but it’s possible we may get to see some set photos tomorrow.
This report comes just days after it was revealed that starJeremy Rennerbroke both of his arms. The actor came down the wrong way on Hawkeye’s bow and arrow and fractured his wrist and elbow, but he is still back at work. No details were given about the scene he was filming since it most likely delves into spoiler territory, but the actor didn’t seem to miss a beat even after this injury. The production is said to go on a brief break after filming wraps onAvengers: Infinity War, although that wasn’t always the case. Marvel had originally planned to film bothAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4back to back, but that plan was later scrapped, with production set to resume onAvengers 4later his year.
We have recently seen someScience Bros set photoswith Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) on the Atlanta set, which showed that the street they were using was being dressed as a New York City street, since NYC taxicabs were spotted in the shot, where there was quite a bit of destruction. Unfortunately, not much is known about that scene, or who caused the destruction, but it’s most likely Thanos. Still, fans will first get to see Hulk return inThor: Ragnarokwhich marks his first appearance since he disappeared at the end ofAvengers: Age of Ultron.
There have also been rumors thatAvengers: Infinity Warmay have a connection to the 2008 Phase 3 movieThe Incredible Hulk, with actress Liv Tyler reportedly reprising her role asBetty Rossfor this movie. Still, since Marvel hasn’t confirmed any cast members or character forAvengers: Infinity Waryet, all we have are rumors to go on. Marvel did bring back Betty Ross' father, General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (William Hurt) back into the fold in last year’sCaptain America: Civil War, so it’s certainly possible that his daughter may also return. If they both do come back, they’ll be part of an ensemble that the Russo brothers revealed had as many as 67 characters. While we wait for more onAvengers: Infinity War, take a look at these photos from the New York set.
