Square Enix Roundup At E3

Square Enix has a lot to prove at E3, the largest gaming expo in the world. The Japanese video game developer has kept its loyal fans waiting for its Final Fantasy VII Remake and Avengers titles. Square Enix has announced the release date for both the games. Announcements were made for further titles in Final Fantasy series to also receive remakes and remasters (namely Final Fantasy VIII). Additionally, the franchise’s iconic music is now available for streaming online.

The Avengers

Reports had already confirmed Crystal Dynamics studio collaborating with Eidos Montreal for an upcoming Avengers game. A first look was given to the world through a trailer after years going by since the announcement of its development. Actual gameplay can be seen in the trailer with the heroes in all their glory, capes, and superpowers. The Avengers game is scheduled for a May 2020 launch.

Final Fantasy VII

One of the most critically acclaimed game in the Final Fantasy series, the 7th title still holds a special appeal to RPG (Role Playing Game) lovers. Loyal fans have asked for the remake of the 22-year-old game for a while now. Square Enix has dropped trailers and teasers since the announcement of the remake at E3 2015. The game now features a robust action-oriented combat system with the return of fan favourite characters like Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth.

Outriders

A new co-op action game has been announced by Square Enix. The creators of the popular shooter Bulletstorm are working on the new title. Outriders is “set in an original dark and desperate sci-fi universe,” with drop-in an and drop-out co-op feature similar to many live always online game services like Destiny 2 from Blizzard and The Divison 2 by Ubisoft. The game will launch in summer of 2020.

Final Fantasy VIII

The 8th instalment in the Final Fantasy series that came after the extremely popular 7th game finally gets the attention it deserves. Final Fantasy VIII will be available on Steam later on this year alongside its PS4, Nintendo Switch, And Xbox One release later this year.

Oninaki

Tokyo RPG factory, famous for its Japanese styled RPGs or JRPGs, has announced its third title release at Square Enix E3 stage. The studio behind I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear takes a slightly different approach with its latest game in the same genre. Oninaki is an action RPG with the players controlling a character “whose duty is to usher souls into the next world.” The trailer showcases some gorgeous art styles similar to most JRPGs. The game will be released on Steam, Switch, PS4 on 22nd August 2019.

Final Fantasy Chronicles

Square Enix announced a remastered edition of Crystal Chronicles, which originally released on the Nintendo Gamecube. Apart from the fresh new aesthetical changes, the game will now feature an online multiplayer. The remaster will ship to platforms such as the PS4, Switch, iOS, and Android. The title will arrive this winter.

Square Enix has been reeling from a disappointing E3 event and lacklustre performance in 2018. On stage, this year the company has a lot on its roaster for its loyal fans with the hope to recapture the glory of its past days with the new remasters and remakes of its most popular tiles.

This Avengers: Endgame Theory Tries To Make Sense Of The Confusing Time Travel
Marvel Entertainment’s latest superhero saga Avengers: Endgame hit theatres on the 26th of April. The movie has since progressed to becoming one of the highest earning titles of all time, amassing over US$ 2 Billion at the worldwide box office. If you have seen the movie, loved it but didn’t understand the time travel bit, you might not be alone. While superhero movies rarely try taking the logical route, the part where they explained time travel in Endgame was murky at best. A user on Reddit has tried to dissect the plot and has derived a pretty convincing theory of what transpired in the Avengers: Endgame movie for all of us to understand. There are massive spoilers ahead for the film, so tread carefully.

Avengers: Endgame Time Travel Theory

To understand the theory better, the user claims we have to establish some principles. The first one is that travelling through time does not create alternate timelines. This was explained by Bruce Banner aka Professor Hulk in the movie when talking to Clint Barton aka Hawkeye. He explains that when someone travels to the past, their present then ends up being the past which cannot be altered. The things that have happened will happen but if you try and change the history, you will just become a part of it. The second principle is that only the absence of the infinity stones can create alternate realities. This bit was explained by the Ancient One to Bruce Banner at the time of the Battle of New York. She established that the infinity stones “control the flow of time”, such that if one stone was removed from the timeline, it would cause a different branch of reality to be created without changing what happened in the original reality.

This led to Bruce promising that he will make sure the stones are replaced at the exact moment they were taken, so the creation of an alternate reality is spared. The theory then explains when Captain America travels back to return the stones, he helps the Avengers in the year 2012 look for Loki in time for the 2012 movie’s ending. When the Power Stone is returned, Star-Lord just wakes back up and steals it in the year 2014. This stops any alternate realities from being created as the stones are replaced the exact moment they were taken.

The third principle states collective Infinity Stones have no power over life. It cannot snap life force away from someone and cannot create life force where there is none. This makes the movie’s big bad Thanos wrong about them. If you have already grabbed a pitchfork and are claiming he altered the life of Vision in Avengers: Infinity War, know this; Vision was a vessel for the Mind Stone and while behaved like a sentient being, he also has mentioned he hasn’t eaten anything yet. Not to forget his body is literally made synthetically by Ultron and the Avengers.

The stones can be used, however, to decimate someone using their energy/radiation directed towards the particular person. So when Thanos snaps, the people aren’t really gone, they have just been transported through space and time to the year 2023 when they are called back by Hulk’s reverse snap. Getting confusing? Here is what the individual stone was used for in the snap.
- Space Stone: Altering Space for the Snap
- Time Stone: Altering Time for the Snap
- Power Stone: Needed for powering the Snap
- Soul Stone: Capturing billions of souls for the Snap
- Mind Stone: Computing the magnitude of the Snap
- Reality Stone: Altering the reality after the Snap
The above explanation indicates that when Iron Man snaps the gauntlet containing the stones at the end of the movie, Thanos and his army were transported back to the year 2014 with the Mind Stone wiping their memory. As for Nebula who was shown as shot in a previous scene, she can be replaced for parts later. While the purple giant might not have a memory of what happened in 2023, he did sense defeat and failure, which explains his calm demeanour in Infinity War. The last scene too, where Captain America goes back in time to live with Peggy Carter, that has already happened.

This explains why no photos of proofs of her husband have been shown in previous movies because Old Man Cap was hiding in plain sight. While this theory is as crazy as it sounds like, the writers for Avengers: Endgame have themselves confirmed the part; where Steve Rogers is Peggy’s husband all along. You can check out the detailed insight into this theory on Reddit and might end up disagreeing with it, but this fan theory seems like the most plausible way to understand the time travel mess in Endgame. What do you think of this theory? Tell us in the comments below.

Here’s What Happens When You Search For Thanos On Google

The latest superhero movie from Marvel Studios, Avengers: Endgame has hit theatres all across India today. The movie marks the culmination of 21 movies starting from Iron Man in the year 2008. While the wait to watch the movie seems like something impossible to do, Google has a surprise in store for the franchise’s fans. In typical Google fashion, the company has inserted an easter egg into its search engine. This one revolves around Thanos; the big bad in the latest Marvel movie.

Searching For Thanos On Google

Like mentioned above, the latest easter egg from Google is dedicated to the villain of the Avengers: Endgame movie named Thanos, the Mad Titan. In the preceding film Avengers: Infinity War released last year, he was shown decimating half of the whole universe’s population with the snap of his fingers. The surprise by Google here is for the users searching for the Mad Titan on the search engine. In the search results, an infinity gauntlet similar to what he wore in the previous movie is visible on the right side of the screen. When it is clicked, the gauntlet snaps its fingers like in the movie and half of the search results disappear from the screen. Furthermore, the count of the search results is also reduced to half in the process.

Notably, to make things go back to their previous state, one would need to click on the gauntlet once again. Doing this shows a new animation which uses the time stone; an element in the Avengers: Endgame movie used to control time, to bring the results back to their original form. It is certainly an amusing addition to build the hype around the film further. The movie, as mentioned above releases today in most countries worldwide. The anticipation around Avengers: Endgame has been unprecedented; with over 2.5 million tickets sold via advanced booking across India, according to ticketing agent BookMyShow. For those who are too lazy to go on Google and search for Thanos, you can visit the link here to watch the decimation happen.

Fortnite Teams Up With Avengers: Endgame To Release Limited Time Game Mode

Avengers: Endgame is just around the corner, and the hugely popular Battle Royale game, Fortnite is celebrating the spirit of the new movie. The game has previously introduced events such as Marshmello concerts to keep the player base hooked to the game. The most recent update to the game includes a special Avengers: Endgame mode, where half the players will take up the roles of Thanos’s army, the Chitauri, or Thanos himself. The other half however, will get to play the roles of the Avengers themselves.

Avengers: Endgame Mode Details

In the new game mode, players can respawn upon being eliminated until one side wins by completing the objective. The heroes’ mission is to stop Thanos and his army from collecting all infinity stones spread throughout the map. The heroes start the game with a treasure map that has directions to a Mythic Avengers item somewhere in the map. Apart from the mythic items, the rest of the Avengers items can be collected via multiple chests scattered across the terrain.

The enemy team consists of Thanos and his minions, called the Chitauri. The Chitauri invaders start with a laser rifle, a grenade to destroy structures and a jetpack which can propel players into the air for a short amount of time. Once the first Chitauri invader gets his/her hands on an Infinity stone, he/she will be transformed into the purple Titan, Thanos himself. The abilities of Thanos includes a powerful punch attack, a strong laser attack and leaping high into the air and smashing everything when he lands back on the ground. With the acquisition of each infinity stone, Thanos will become more powerful and will gain a multitude of abilities. If Thanos dies in combat, a random Chitauri invader will take his place as the next Thanos. The game ends when Thanos and his army find all the stones to kill the Avengers or if the Avengers and other heroes eliminate Thanos and his army.

Furthermore, the reactive animation effects on the Marshmello outfit were fixed as well.

Redmi Partners With Marvel For Avengers: Endgame Movie

Xiaomi’s subsidiary Redmi separated from its parent company to exist independently as a brand back in the month of January. Redmi then launched two new smartphones, named Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro in the Indian and Chinese market. While the smartphones were received well with the users, the company didn’t do anything significantly different for the devices to stand out from the crowd. In a fresh announcement, Redmi has partnered up with Marvel Studios, a production house best known for their superhero movies, before the latter’s new release titled ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

What Does The Partnership Mean?

Redmi’s official account posted an update a while ago on Chinese social networking website Weibo announcing the aforementioned partnership. Marvel Studios is all set to release its next movie, which is said to be one of the most highly anticipated releases of all time. Unfortunately, the companies didn’t reveal further details regarding the collaboration. But it is expected that Redmi may be planning to launch an Avengers special edition smartphone sometime near the movie’s release. While the movie will release in China on April 24, it will be available to watch for the rest of the world on April 26.

The partnership between Redmi and Marvel is not the first time a company has partnered with a production house before a major movie release. OnePlus last year also partnered with Marvel Studios and released a special Avengers edition OnePlus 6 smartphone. This was done to commemorate the production house’s major release that year titled ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

Xiaomi, the parent company of Redmi also released a special edition Mi 9 last month in partnership with a movie named ‘Alita: Battle Angel’. A special or a limited edition smartphone is usually seen as a collector’s item and is really popular among fans of the said movie. A partnership between Redmi and Marvel is a surprising move and expected to get a positive response from the fans of both companies.

OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition Goes On Sale In India On May 29th For Rs 44999

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 in India on May 17th. Along with the regular variant, the Chinese smartphone maker also launched the OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition at a price of Rs 44999. The limited edition smartphone goes on sale in India on May 29th and will be available on Amazon.in and OnePlus.in from 12 noon. Customers will be able to avail a Rs 2000 cashback using CitiBank Debit and Credit Card and No Cost EMI for up to 3 months on all popular banks.

The OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition has the same all-glass design like the OnePlus 6. However, there is a carbon fibre finish underneath the glass, giving it a very different look than the regular OnePlus 6. The alert slider also has a golden accent as opposed to the black colour on the regular OnePlus 6.

With the OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition, you also get custom Avengers Infinity War wallpapers. There is also an Avengers Theme preinstalled which has a dark look to it with golden accents. It is possible that this theme will somehow make its way to other OnePlus devices as well in the future. For now, however, it is exclusive to limited edition OnePlus 6. The specifications remain the same as the OnePlus 6.

Must Read: OnePlus 6 Launched In India Starting Rs 34999

It has a 6.28 inch Optic AMOLED display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. The aspect ratio is 19:9 which means it is slightly taller than the OnePlus 5T.

[amazon_link asins=’B0756Z43QS’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’igyaan-21′ marketplace=’IN’ link_id=’25e61181-625f-11e8-8c05-df1221860959′]

It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset which has an octa-core processor clocked at 2.8GHz. Coupled with the flagship chipset is 8GB of RAM and 256GB onboard storage. The storage is still not user-expandable just like every other OnePlus device. The fingerprint sensor is still placed on the rear but, it has a more oval shape this time around.

Powering the device is a 3300 mAh battery with Dash Charge support. The smartphone will have gesture support which we tested on the OnePlus 5T during its Beta test.

The dual-camera setup on the back includes a 16MP Sony IMX 519 sensor and a 20MP Sony IMX 376K sensor. Both are RGB sensors and have an f/1.7 aperture with OIS, another first for a OnePlus device. The cameras also record 4K videos at 60fps which is a great feature for content creators. To the front of the smartphone is a 16MP Sony IMX 371 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and EIS which records 1080P videos.

The OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition looks extremely nice and could be a great buy for Marvel fanatics looking for a special edition product for their collection! However, it is to be seen how many people will be willing to shell out Rs 44999 for the smartphone.

Unboxing The OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition
On December 14th, almost a month after launching the OnePlus 5T, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition. It was a limited edition smartphone in association with the Star Wars: The Last Jedi film. On May 17th, one day after globally launching the OnePlus 6 in London, the Chinese smartphone maker launched the OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition in India. The limited edition smartphone is in association with the recently released Avengers: Infinity War film.

OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition

The smartphone will be available in variant only, with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. In India, the device will retail for Rs 44999 via Amazon from May 29th. The special edition smartphone will also come in a different style of box.

[section label=”Unboxing”]

[section label=”Initial Impressions”]

OnePlus has gone out of its way to make this smartphone a special buy for Marvel fanatics. Every OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition will retail with a special Avengers case, in our package was an Iron Man case. Every retail box will also have a gold coloured medallion. The company has announced if you collect 6 medallions, there is a special prize in store for you. The company has, however, not announced what the prize will be.

The build quality, specifications are exactly the same as the regular OnePlus 6. However, with the OnePlus 6 Avengers Infinity War Edition, the back of the device has a carbon fibre finish underneath the glass. This look is reminiscent of the Carbon Fibra back panel which was available for the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2. The OnePlus continued to sell a snap-on case for its other devices with the carbon fibre finish. Like what OnePlus did with the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, we expect the OnePlus 6 Carbon Fibre to be launched in other countries without the Avengers branding.

It has a 6.28 inch Optic AMOLED display with a 2280 x 1080 px resolution. The aspect ratio is 19:9 which means it is slightly taller than the OnePlus 5T.

It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset which has an octa-core processor clocked at 2.8GHz. Coupled with the flagship chipset is 8GB of RAM and 256GB onboard storage. The storage is still not user-expandable just like every other OnePlus device. The fingerprint sensor is still placed on the rear but, it has a more oval shape this time around.

Powering the device is a 3300 mAh battery with DashCharge support. DashCharge continues to be one of the fastest charging technologies and could be the reason why OnePlus did not think that wireless charging was necessary here. Out of the box, the OnePlus 6 will run Android 8.1 Oreo with OxygenOS on top. The smartphone will have gesture support which we tested on the OnePlus 5T during its Beta test. There is a special Avengers theme which is a dark theme with gold accents. There are also exclusive Avengers wallpapers pre-installed. It would have been really cool to have an Avengers font as well but, that is not available yet.

The dual-camera setup on the back includes a 16MP Sony IMX 519 sensor and a 20MP Sony IMX 376K sensor. Both are RGB sensors and have an f/1.7 aperture with OIS, another first for a OnePlus device. The cameras also record 4K videos at 60fps which is a great feature for content creators. To the front of the smartphone is a 16MP Sony IMX 371 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and EIS which records 1080P videos.

The OnePlus Avengers Infinity War Edition is a collector’s dream and looks really good as well. It has the sturdiness of the OnePlus 6 and the carbon fibre underneath the glass gives it a distinguished look among the increasingly similar-looking flagship smartphones.

The OnePlus 6 will be the much-awaited follow-up to the OnePlus 5T which was launched in November 2017. So far, we already know quite a few details about the upcoming flagship smartphone.

Now, a new image posted OnePlus’ Weibo account reveals the design of the retail box of the OnePlus Avengers Edition.

The image does not reveal any specifications of the device. However, there is a huge hint about the build and design of the smartphone on the box. The Avengers insignia features a kevlar finish which hints at the build and design of the special edition OnePlus variant. In the teaser of the smartphone that OnePlus released a few days ago, we noticed a similar hint.

This could be possible, considering the company brought back the famed Sandstone finish on the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition. It is worth noting that the OnePlus 5T STar Wars Edition was launched in other countries as the Sandstone Edition, meaning a Kevlar Edition could be in the pipeline for OnePlus in other countries. The company has already confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will have a glass back, and the Avengers Edition could be a unique offering from OnePlus.

The OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition is expected to be only available in the 8GB and 256GB storage model. Considering OnePlus’ pricing strategy, the OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition will be priced slightly higher than the regular OnePlus 6 256GB storage model.

In 2018, the OnePlus 6 will be the only affordable flagship smartphone for now. Things might change when Xiaomi launches the Mi MIX 2s and Asus launches the Zenfone 5Z in India. However, the OnePlus 6 with its new features should have a lot of suitors. We will keep you updated with all the news about the OnePlus 6 as we approach its official launch.

OnePlus Teases OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition

OnePlus has once again teased its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 6. This time around, it isn’t a feature, but, the OnePlus 6 Avengers Limited Edition which will launch along with the regular OnePlus 6 in India on May 17th.

Following the overwhelming success of OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, OnePlus and Disney have further bolstered their relationship with the announcement of OnePlus’ partnership with Marvel Studios in light of the upcoming release, Avengers: Infinity War.

A few days ago, OnePlus confirmed its partnership with Marvel Avengers: Infinity War, an upcoming superhero film that, in fact, releases today in India. However, in that announcement, the Chinese smartphone maker did not explicitly mention an Avengers-themed OnePlus 6. The new teaser released by the company now confirms the smartphone. The teaser shows glimpses of the movie and barely gives anything away about the smartphone. However, it appears that the OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition could have a glass back with a Carbon Fibre finish. A one-second shot of the device shows a Carbon Fibre-like back panel, which was one of the back panels users could buy for the OnePlus One and OnePlus Two.

This could be possible, considering the company brought back the famed Sandstone finish on the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition. It is worth noting that the OnePlus 5T STar Wars Edition was launched in other countries as the Sandstone Edition, meaning a Carbon Fibre Edition could be in the pipeline for OnePlus in other countries. The company has already confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will have a glass back, and the Avengers Edition could be a unique offering from OnePlus.

The OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition is expected to be only available in the 8GB and 256GB storage model. Considering OnePlus’ pricing strategy, the OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition will be priced slightly higher than the regular OnePlus 6 256GB storage model.

The launch of the OnePlus 6 is scheduled for 17th May and will go on sale in India on the 21st of May via Amazon. Stay tuned for more updates.

OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition Launch Confirmed By OnePlus

The OnePlus 6 will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors in more than one way. There are rumours that just like the OnePlus 5 had a significant price hike from the OnePlus 3/3T, the OnePlus 6 will also be a bit pricier than the OnePlus 5. Now, the company has confirmed that it has tied up with Avengers: Infinity War for a special OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War edition, just like the OnePlus 5T was launched in a Star Wars Special Edition variant a few days after its official launch.

OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition

In a media note, OnePlus said:

The collaboration marks a step towards strengthening our association with Disney India. In December 2017, OnePlus and Disney partnered to launch OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, which was well received by fans across both communities.

It is worth noting that the release date for Avengers: Infinity War is 27th April. This means that the OnePlus 6 could launch before, or on the same day as the Marvel film. The company did not hint towards a launch date in the media note. However, considering the social media activity of OnePlus, the company could soon hint at a release date as well.

If the Star Wars Edition of the OnePlus 5T is anything to go by, we could see a very different Avengers Edition of the OnePlus 6 compared to the regular OnePlus 6. It is expected to have the movie branding on the smartphone along with a different colour variant as well. The specifications of the OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War Edition will be the same as the regular OnePlus 6. However, the Avengers Edition might only launch in the 256GB storage variant, since the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition was only launched in the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant.

The OnePlus 6 is shaping up to be quite an upgrade over the OnePlus 5/5T with its new “notch” design and water resistance. The pricing, as usual, will be key to the success of the OnePlus 6 in countries like India.

Who Is Thanos And What Are The Six Infinity Stones?
The latest Avengers: Infinity War trailer has extremely hyped up the upcoming movie. The Avengers franchise has so far had the core members playing a pivotal role. But, the new trailer gives a glimpse of what happens when the whole MCU is condensed into one film. From Guardians of the Galaxy to Spider-Man to Dr Strange, everyone made an appearance in the trailer. While the last Avengers film had the superheroes battle Ultron, this time around Thanos will be in the epicentre. So, who is Thanos and what are the 6 Infinity Stones he keeps rambling about?

Who is Thanos?

For the first time, Thanos was teased in The Avengers, which was released in 2012. In fact, he had a cameo in “Guardians of the Galaxy” as well. He was born with a malformation, which explains his oversized body. Thanos also goes by the name “Mad Titan,” because he was born on Saturn’s moon, Titan. Three things that Thanos preys on are power, death and killing.

Due to his oversized body, he has a rancour against the remaining universe. He rules the alien race Chitauri that invaded the earth in the first Avengers movie. As he is eternal, he has many super strengths. He has a skin which is impervious to heat, cold, electricity, and radiation. In fact, it can also withstand a psychic attack.

He can shoot cosmic energy from his eyes and hands. On top of that, he is cursed by death to be “immortal”. It will be very interesting to see the plans made by Avengers to stop Mad Titan.

The Six Infinity Stones

In the trailer, Thanos has a golden glove on his left hand, with six grills. According to Marvel Comics, the glove is called the Infinity Gauntlet, which has the space to house the six infinity stones. Those who possess those six infinity stones will gain infinite power. In fact, the six stone’s alternate name spells Thanos (Tesseract, Aether, Orb, and Scepter). Also, Dr Strange has one Infinity Stone in his necklace.

The Infinity Stones were formed when the universe exploded into existence and parts of the universe were intensified into six infinity stones.
- Tesseract is a space stone, which can teleport anything from one point of the universe to another point in no time
- Aether is a reality stone, that can attach to the host to make him stronger
- Orb is a power stone, which can give superhuman strength to the heir of the stone
- Vision is a stone that can let the heir control others mind
- Soul stone can trap souls inside it
- Time stone manipulates the time

Avengers: Infintiy War Will Be The Longest Marvel Movie Yet

There is no doubt that the Avengers franchise is the flag-bearer of “DC vs Marvel” debate. The third instalment of the epic superhero franchise is scheduled to release in India on the 27th of April. The excitement around the movie, especially with the star power it possesses, is immense. While having all these superheroes in a movie is great, it can pose some issues to the movie makers. Hence, it has been reported that the Avengers: Infinity War will be the longest Marvel movie ever made.

According to AMC Theatre’s website, the upcoming movie will have a run time of 2 hours 37 minutes. To put things into perspective, Captain America: Civil War, which holds the record right now, had a runtime of 2 hours 27 minutes. At 2 hours 37 minutes, the Avengers: Infinity War is still shorter than the likes of The Godfather or The Lord Of The Rings. However, in today’s day and age, the runtime is quite a lot.

Most of the famous superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are expected to feature in the film. The recent success of Black Panther meant that the new Avengers has even more hype to live up to. As we move closer to the release of Infinity War, we also near the possible end of Robert Downey Jr. as the Iron Man.

He is contractually obligated to play the Iron Man through the Infinity War films. These films will conclude in 2019 with the second part. However, the future beyond that is uncertain. That being said, we still have a couple of Avengers films to enjoy before worrying about Tony Stark being played by someone other than Robert Downey Jr.

While the Infinity War was supposed to be launched in early-May, Marvel changed things up a bit. Both, Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story are scheduled to be launched in May. Hence, it makes sense for the Avengers to have some solo time in the theatres. The Infinity War will follow the Avengers as they take on Thanos.
