Big news coming out of Marvel Studios. Badass Digest report and Anthony and Joe Russo have just closed their deal to direct Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2. They’re about to go into production on Captain America: Civil War and will do back to back Avengers films after that. They’re scheduled for release in May 2018 and May 2019, as the handy image above states.
But where does that leave Spider-Man and Ghostbusters, two properties the Russos were also mentioned with? We’ll discuss that and the Avengers Infinity War directors below.
Badass Digest broke the news. They said expect an announcement soon.
We’d heard the Russos were clamoring to do Avengers 3 and 4 after Civil War and Marvel loved the idea. However, in between then Spider-Man came back into play for Marvel, and the Russos were attached to a new Ghostbusters movie with Channing Tatum. This deal would almost certainly knock them out of those projects, though it would let them play with Spider-Man.
We’ll have more analysis soon.
