With fans trying to get all the information they can on Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel has now released a prelude to the film, Avengers: Infinity War Prelude #1, and it has a lot of eye opening details.
Obvious potential Avengers: Infinity War spoilers lie ahead!
One of the images from the prelude reveals a very lonely Iron Man:
It’s interesting but expected. After the events of Captain America: Civil War, fans shouldn’t really be surprised that this is the route Tony Stark has gone. We’re not really sure what will happen in Infinity War, but Robert Downey Jr. has stated he’s open to playing Iron Man as long as it doesn’t drag on:
“It’s this cyclical thing, I could have said when the first Avengers came out: ‘It’s never going to get any better than that. Everybody stop’. But to me it’s always about people and opportunities, like the (Avengers directors Anthony and Joe) Russos, who I adore.”
Downey Jr. goes on to say:
“Everyone says to me it’s like a glove that fits so well. I have to start over every time but I am starting over with a pretty solid base. I just never want to blow it for the last six or seven (MCU movies) I have done by dropping the ball because I decided to go do it one more time. I just want to hang up my jersey before it’s embarrassing.”
He may not have to decide, as Avengers: Infinity War’s synopsis suggests it’s a deadly film:
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must willing to sacrifice it all in an attempt to defeat the power of Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.
Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on May 4th, 2018.
