Behind the scenes of Avengers: Infinity War as new heroes unite — and others will end

The sky is a raging sea of iron gray storm clouds, and a faraway rumble rolls across the countryside like something gigantic colliding with the other side of Earth.

Thor and Captain America are standing on an African savanna beside a sparkling river, back-to-back for the first time in ages, each reunited with his old friend while wielding new weapons. Cap’s red-white-and-blue shield is gone, replaced by a pair of vibranium gauntlets (courtesy of Black Panther’s genius little sister, Shuri), while Thor swings a mystical ax known as Stormbreaker, a supersized upgrade from his demolished hammer, Mjolnir.

The skyline of Wakanda’s capital city stands in the distance, and Cap and Thor are among hundreds of tribal warriors from throughout the nation, gathered at the river’s edge to join the heroes in facing down a horde of synthetic-alien demons known as the Outriders.

This is the front line of an epic battle in Avengers: Infinity War (out April 27), and it’s not just about saving the world this time — Earth’s mightiest heroes, and some from much farther away, are trying to save the entire universe from a cosmic tyrant who’d like to kill off half of it.

No pressure.

The Approaching Storm

Right now, the cast and crew of the biggest team-up in superhero-movie history have a real-world problem to confront. The river is fake, of course. It was dug out of this grassy horse field near Atlanta, and giant pumps at either end recirculate the water as needed. The savanna is a lot closer to Savannah, Georgia, than any plains of Africa. The fictional skyscrapers of Wakanda are represented for now by a greenscreen, and the Outrider attackers are actors in speckled motion-capture suits.

But the looming rainstorm happens to be real. Chris Hemsworth lowers his battle-ax and looks off into the distance, wondering aloud if he saw lightning. The God of Thunder is in a race against his own superpower.

If the production is close enough to see a flash, union rules *stipulate that everyone has to take shelter for 30 minutes. They might not have that long before the downpour begins, so directors Anthony and Joe Russo are hurrying to get their shots while supervising multiple camera units on different scenes.

For instance, on the other side of the river, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, the former Winter Soldier now known to his Wakandan friends as “White Wolf,” is laying waste to Outriders while Rocket — in the form of Sean Gunn, wielding a puppet stand-in — distracts him with some offers he can easily refuse.

“How much for the gun?” the furry dealmaker asks, admiring the firepower clutched by Bucky’s mechanical limb.

“It’s not for sale.”

“Okay, how much for the arm? The arm?” Rocket persists. (He has a weird thing about prosthetics.)

The strength of Infinity War is not just in assembling what appears to be the entire roster of Marvel’s cinematic superheroes in common cause; it’s in pairing the oddest of couples.

Even Hemsworth and Chris Evans, on the other side of the water, are watching video playback and conspiring to make Thor and Cap’s reunion just a little bit weirder as the dropships of Thanos strike the ground.

Evans suggests that when they bump into each other, they do what friends often do after being apart for a while: assess each other’s haircuts. In some ways, they’ve swapped styles. Thor has gotten a clean-cut trim, while Cap is sporting the ragged locks and beard.

“I’ll be like, ‘Short hair now? Good choice,’” Evans says, while miming a right hook against an invisible Outrider.

“And I’ll go, ‘Yours too. The beard. Very *rugged,’” Hemsworth says. They’re still workshopping it as they go back in front of the cameras. But before they can complete their takes, lightning crackles nearby, followed by curtains of stinging rain that send the whole production stampeding for cover. EW’s Day 1 on the set comes to an abrupt and muddy end.

Maybe that exchange between Cap and Thor will make it in, maybe it won’t. The thing about Infinity War is, you can’t really be sure what will survive.

That Wakanda battle's going to be:lawd:
