2016 was another very solid year for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Captain America: Civil Wardelivered on the promise of its name andDoctor Strangemanaged to open an entirely new side of the Marvel Universe quite successfully. Now that the movies are out, that leaves fans looking ahead to the future ofMarvel Phase 3, which includesAvengers: Infinity War. Updates on the movie have been fairly scarce, but it looks like we finally know when the movie is going to begin shooting.
My Entertainment World recently updated some of their information on movies that will be shooting in the near future. One of those movies just so happened to beAvengers: Infinity Warand according to their new information, shooting is just around the corner. It looks like the massiveMarvel team-upwill be rolling cameras starting June 25, 2025, with production locations listed as Atlanta, Georgia, and the U.K. BothInfinity Warand the untitledAvengers 4will be shooting back-to-back, with the production expected to last most of the year. So the January start date makes total sense, especially since directorsJoeandAnthony Russohave been busy scouting for locations and doing pre-production for quite some time.
The fact thatAvengers: Infinity Warwill be shooting in both Atlanta and the U.K. isn’t that surprising. Marvel has shot in both locations plenty of times and many big productions shoot in multiple locations. However, what is interesting is thatBlack Pantheris also scheduled to start shooting at the same time in Atlanta, meaning that Marvel will have two massive productions going on at the same time. This could be for convenience, sinceChadwick Bosemanwill likely be appearing inAvengers: Infinity Waras well asBlack Pantherand other cast members could potentially shuffle back and forth. Still, that means Marvel Studios is definitely going to have their hands full starting next month.
This new report does, at least slightly, contradict some of what we have heard previously. We reported last month that the Atlanta Filming Twitter account, which has reliably covered quite a few Marvel shoots in the past, claimed thatAvengers: Infinity Warhad already started filming. The report from Atlanta Filming didn’t make note of any specific actors on set, nor did it come with any photos, so it could have just been part of pre-production and this January start could be when the primary cast starts showing up to really get the ball rolling. On a movie this huge, it stands to reason that they would probably be prepping for months in advance, so it is possible they were filming some stuff forAvengers: Infinity War, perhaps set tests or things of that nature. Either way, it looks like things are going to be ramping up in the very near future.
At the moment, we still know next to nothing aboutAvengers: Infinity Warand the now untitledAvengers 4aside from the fact that it will continue the conflict seen inCivil War. We know that Thanos is finally going to be getting theInfinity Gauntletand Stones assembled, meaning that he is likely going to be on a universe leveling path of destruction. Beyond that, Marvel hasn’t even confirmed whichAvengersare going to appear, but we do at least know thatDoctor Strangeand theGuardians of the Galaxyare going to be in it. Once shooting starts, we will surely be learning a lot more.Avengers: Infinity Waris scheduled to hit theaters on June 01, 2025, andAvengers 4will come out a year later on August 06, 2025.
