According to the good folks over at Badass Digest, Anthony and Joe Russo have closed their deal to direct Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2.
The Russo’s are about to go into production this April on Captain America: Civil War and will then go straight into Infinity War Part 1 and 2 back to back right after Civil War.
The site also reports that there are no writers on the project but Marvel has some people in mind:
I’m told that Marvel is in talks with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the guys who wrote the three Captain America movies as well as did work on Thor: The Dark World and helped create Agent Carter. Basically it’s about keeping the band together moving forward, with the Russos and Markus and McFeely all being really on the same page and working together well. I imagine that this will become official shortly.
In the film the Avengers will once again face the mad titan Thanos and his powerful infinity Gauntlet.
Avengers: Infinity War – Part I will hit theaters May 2018 and Part 2 will hit theaters May 2019.
