Verrücktes

The Marvel Studios logo changes the "io " in the word Studios to the numbers "10" to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.There is a statement at the end of the closing credits: "Thanos will return."The closing credits appear over a black background. The film title appears at the end, and crumbles to dust.SPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Nick Fury and Maria Hill are erased, but Fury manages to contact Captain Marvel.There is one after-credits scene and no mid-credit scenes, something which Marvel hasn't done since Iron Man 3 (2013).A text line for Copyright of 'Arrested Development' character is in the credits, giving away that there really is an Arrested Development easter egg in the movie.When the Marvel logo appears, an SOS signal is heard, leading in from the mid-credits scene of Thor: Tag der Entscheidung (2017).

Fehler

Character error

When Thor is explaining to the Guardians of the Galaxy where they need to go to forge a weapon to kill Thanos, he pronounces the destination as "Nivadellir" instead of "Nidavellir". He says it wrong twice in that scene. Yet, In the third act of the film he correctly pronounces it as "Nidavellir".

Character error

Peter Quill/Star-Lord tells Thor that Thanos is Gamora's step father. Thanos is Gamora's adoptive father, he was never married to Gamora's mother.

Continuity

While on the Maw's spaceship, Tony Stark, Peter Parker and Dr. Strange's cape have a conversation. and for the entire scene Peter's hair is slicked back. During an intense exchange with Tony, Peter says "You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood"; the camera cuts to a speechless Tony and then goes back to Peter, who now has a completely different hairstyle, featuring a fringe. His hair turns back up for the rest of the scene.

Continuity

In Guardians of the Galaxy Gamora is described as the last living member of her species, in this film Thanos is shown to have killed only half of her planet's population. Indeed he tells her that life has been better for those born on her homeworld since his genocide.

Continuity

The first time we see Tony Stark, he is walking with Pepper Potts in a park, discussing. Tony has a hoodie on his shoulders, its sleeves tied in a knot covering the miniature arc reactor on his chest. During their exchange, Pepper unties the knot to talk about the device on Tony's chest. Right after that, cutting from a three-quarters shot to a close up on Tony, the hoodie disappears and is nowhere to be seen for the remainder of the scene, up till the moment we are taken inside the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Continuity

The Infinity Gauntlet is different from the one Thanos dons in Age of Ultron.

Continuity

During the New York confrontation, when Ebony Maw strangles Dr. Strange and he falls down, he hits a cop car next to him. In the next scene, when Ebony Maw lifts the ground around Strange, the cop car is nowhere to be seen.

Continuity

When Peter falls from the spaceship in the upper atmosphere, the rocket containing the Iron Spider suit makes contact with his back and the suit begins spreading outward. The spider on the back of the suit is visible in one shot, then in the next shot, it shows the back forming (even though the back was the first part to form).

Continuity

Tony Stark's mustache changes as he is confronting Thanos on Titan. He says hes "gonna lose it" if Thanos throws another moon at him. In this shot, his mustache is dark and defined. After Thanos calls him by his name, in the very next shot his mustache has a lot more gray in it and is a bit thicker/unkempt.

Continuity

When Peter takes off his mask, the headphones and microphone inside it are removed, so Peter can't hear or speak to anybody, yet he still hears and replies to Stark despite this.

Continuity

When Thor tries to start the forge, he grabs the handles with and under/over grip. It then shows him flexing, as superheroes do, holding both handles with an underhand grip, thus heating the forge.

Continuity

When Ebony Maw wraps the electrical cable around Strange, he loops it several times around his neck to make him pass out. Immediately after, the cable is no longer wrapped around his neck, allowing his cape to fly him away. The cable is also tightly wrapped around his body, and then loosely wrapped around it in the next scene.

Continuity

When Stark, Strange and Banner first encounter Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian on the street, there is one yellow cab and one hidden car between them. When Cull Obsidian walks and then charges, several cars are suddenly between them, giving Banner and Stark lots of time to react.

Crew or equipment visible

When Tony Stark is deciding whether to call Steve Rogers or not from the Sanctum Sanctorum, the green screen used on set is seen reflected in the screen of Stark's flip phone.

Crew or equipment visible

When Tony, Bruce, Dr. Strange, & Wong leave the Sactum a car crashes into a pole. You can see the car is already damaged before impact.

Errors in geography

According to the end credits, one of the production units filmed both in the United Kingdom, and in Scotland. Since the United Kingdom includes Scotland, that would be like having a unit that filmed both in the United States, and in Missouri.

Factual errors

When an emergency exit on a school bus is opened, an alarm goes off. Peter would not have got off the bus quietly.

Factual errors

A person exposed to space does not instantly freeze.

Factual errors

Allowing suspension of disbelief that Tony Stark's chest piece could hold enough nano-material to form the suit and all of the missiles launched from it, it is absurd that it would contain enough material to plug a six-foot hole in a spaceship hull.

Factual errors

At one point, Tony refers to Peter as a millennial. Peter is 16 or 17 years old, firmly placing him in Generation Z.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

When Thor goes to Nidavellir, Eitri tells Thor he made the gauntlet for Thanos because Asgard neglected to protect them. Asgard was just destroyed prior to the first scene of this movie, and yet the gauntlet was shown at the end of Age of Ultron, which takes place years prior. However, recall that Loki had been ruling Asgard for four years (overlapping Age of Ultron), and had allowed the Nine Realms to fall into war and chaos without doing anything on his own part to protect them (as opposed to Odin always striving to protect his kingdom). Loki's neglect would have most certainly left Nidavellir exposed to an attack from Thanos (assuming that Thanos obtaining the gauntlet in Age of Ultron is chronologically correct), which may be what Eitri was referring to.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

In Black Panther, when King T'Chaka shows up at the beginning, N'Jobu and James (Zuri) bow before him to revere him as a king. In this movie, however, Bruce Banner attempts to bow before King T'Challa, who then states "We don't do that here." However, in the same movie (Black Panther) when Shuri bows for T'Challa in modern-day Wakanda, he recognizes this as a joke and tells her to stop. This could suggest that he had changed reverence policies since his father's reign.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

When Tony Stark first uses the nano tech to put on the Mark L armor he takes off his shades with his right hand. As the armor finishes you can see the shades disappear from his right hand. Fully formed his right hand is still holding the now non existent shades. However, this is not a mistake. If you pay close attention to the glasses you will see that the shades are actually nanobots that are absorbed into his suit.

Revealing mistakes

During a close-up of Black Panther, when he gives the order to open the shield, his suit has clearly visible seams on his shoulders, giving it away as a spandex costume.

Continuity

The Mind Stone becomes much larger when Thanos removes it from Vision's head. When Ultron creates Vision, the Mind Stone is clearly smaller.

Continuity

After The Snap, the first person to turn to dust is Bucky. He does so while he is walking towards Captain America with a gun in his hand. When he turns to dust, the gun which is an inanimate object falls to the ground. But his machine arm, which is also an inanimate object, turns to dust.

Continuity

When Rocket gives Thor the eyeball and the two are discussing it, Rocket is standing next to Thor in one shot but appears in the pilot's seat, fully seat-belted in the next shot, even though audio seems to indicate the conversation between the two is continuous.

Continuity

When Thanos turns back time after Scarlet Witch has destroyed the mind stone and Vision is "revived", Scarlet Witch tries to stop him while shouting. In the next shot you see Thanos hitting Scarlet Witch with his right hand and you see him holding vision by his neck with his left. In the next shot you see Thanos reaching for vision and grabbing his neck.

Continuity

In the opening scenes on the Asgard ship Thanos uses Corvus Glaive's staff to kill Heimdall by stabbing him through the heart and it can be clearly seen in shot with Hiemdall's face as. However when Corvus removes his weapon he pulls it from Hiemdalls stomach.

Continuity

After Groot makes a handle for Stormbreaker, it is shown falling to the ground with the sharp side on the right and the hammer side on the left. When it lifts off the ground to go to Thor, the head is reversed.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

After Thanos is victorious, people throughout the universe disintegrate with their remains blowing away. This includes their clothing and anything else they are wearing. However, other inanimate objects survive, such as Fury's communication device after he sends a distress signal to Captain Marvel. However, Nick Fury is shown to throw the distress signal on the ground before his hand disintegrates.

Trivia

Tom Holland was not allowed to read the script for this movie, since he revealed too many secrets for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). In one of the promotional videos for the movie, several of its cast members are in an interrogation room refusing to reveal any spoilers, and Holland's mouth is conspicuously taped shut.

Mark Ruffalo revealed that he was given a fake script due to his habit of accidentally spoiling past Marvel movies. He jokingly claimed in an interview that the fake script was better than the real one.

Drax's line "I'll do you one better: Why is Gamora?" was ad-libbed by Dave Bautista. In an interview, Dave says that Chris Pratt actually gave him the idea for the line.

Doctor Strange has been studying for a few years since his solo movie, and is now considered one of the more powerful characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The writers also wanted to have him come off as sort of "the adult in the room" throughout the movie.

Tom Holland said that although he is a big fan of Chris Pratt and loved working with him, their scenes together were often challenging. Pratt's tendency to joke in and out of character made it hard for Holland to keep a straight face at times.

Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth ad-libbed the dialogue between Captain America and Thor in which they compared their facial hair, reasoning that they have known each other long enough to have that kind of friendly banter.

The Wakandan war cry "Yibambe" is Xhosa for "hold strong". Other possible translations include "hold fast" or just simply "hold it"; all of these translations are appropriate for their situation. This chant was also briefly recited by Nakia and the River Tribe in Black Panther (2018).

Captain America is wearing the same suit he wore in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016). The filmmakers redesigned his outfit to distress and desaturate it. He has ripped the labels off as well. The scales underneath his suit are a nod to Cap's original suit from the comic books.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) had a new look for this movie. At the end of The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), Steve Rogers quit as Captain America, something which occurred several times in the comic book. For the first time, he assumed the identity of "Nomad". Rogers' costume in this film captured basic elements of the Nomad character, in that it is primarily blue and features yellow, disk-like objects attached at the collar. For the second time Steve Rogers quit, he was featured to have grown scraggly with a beard, and he would eventually shave the beard and create a new identity as "The Captain". Consequently, the physical appearance and costume for Steve Rogers is a combination of the two most popular times he quit being Captain America.

As of the release of The: Ragnarök (2017), five of the six Infinity Stones have surfaced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Space Stone (also known as the Tesseract) was first revealed in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), and now resides with Loki. The Mind Stone, which was housed in Loki's staff until Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), is now in the possession of Vision. The Power Stone, first seen in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), is on Xandar, under protection of the Nova Corps. The Reality Stone (also known as the Aether) was first seen in Thor: The Dark Kingdom (2013), and was placed in the care of The Collector. With the destruction of The Collector's Vault in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), its whereabouts are unclear. The fifth and final known stone, the Time Stone (also known as the Eye of Agamotto), was revealed in Doctor Strange (2016), and is under his protection in Kamar-Taj. The whereabouts of the sixth stone, the Soul Stone, is revealed by Gamora to Thanos in this movie to be on the planet Vormir.

The Russo Brothers originally confirmed that Captain Marvel would be in this movie. However, co-Director Joe Russo later declared that the character would not, and she would instead make her debut in her own movie. The character will have a major role in Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Sir Kenneth Branagh (who directed Thor (2011)) can be heard at the beginning of the movie issuing the distress transmission that the Asgardian ship was being attacked.

Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) would go by the code name of "White Wolf" in this movie, as he was called by the children of Wakanda in a post-credits scene of Black Panther (2018). White Wolf in the comics was T'Challa's adopted brother, Hunter, who was the leader of Wakanda's secret police, the Hatut Zeraze.

For the first time in Marvel Cinematic Universe history, Bruce Banner communicates directly with The Incredible Hulk.

Josh Brolin (Thanos) claimed that he did not see Black Panther (2018) until a week before this movie opened, due to it being constantly sold out in Los Angeles. Brolin added that stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe don't receive any special privileges of screening passes to the franchise.

Security for filming at Durham Cathedral was so tight, that not even the Cathedral wardens were allowed access inside.

The filmmakers wanted to create small physical rules that would allow characters to stay in the fight with Thanos. The idea of Thanos having to close his fist to use a stone was the bare minimum that allowed for a fight to be put up.

This movie takes place four years after Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).

With a budget window of three hundred sixteen to four hundred million dollars, this is the most expensive movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, and the most expensive superhero movie of all time so far.

Loki (Tom Hiddleston) says "we have a Hulk" to Thanos (Josh Brolin), quoting what Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) said to Loki in The Avengers (2012).

Just as they paid homage to their television show Community (2009) in the second and third "Captain America" movies, the Russo Brothers also included another Easter egg from their other well-known show, Arrested Development (2003), in this movie. In The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), the stair car from Arrested Development (2003) appeared in the Berlin airport. In this movie, blue Tobias Fünke from that same show appeared in one of The Collector's display cases. He can be seen behind and to the left of Gamora in one shot.

According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, The Avengers are expected to have a "shake-up" in their team line-up between this movie and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Filming at Durham Cathedral involved moving almost all of the pews to make room for the sets. After filming on Saturday night, the sets had to be moved, and the pews replaced for Sunday services. On Monday, everything was changed around again to complete filming.

In a New York Times interview, when asked about how the script was written to accommodate the large cast, co-Writer Stephen McFeely said, "Not every scene can be twenty-five people in a room. You're going to have to make kickball teams and then have a tournament."

Like several names of people, things, and places in Thor's universe, the term Niðavellir is from old Norse/Icelandic, its literal translation being "Field of ancestors".

Robert Downey, Jr. requested the furniture from his house in Los Angeles be shipped to the filming location in Atlanta, and the movie studio complied.

Approximate screentime for each major character: Thanos - 29 minutes Gamora - 19 minutes 30 seconds Tony Stark / Iron Man - 18 minutes Thor - 14 minutes 30 seconds Dr. Stephen Strange - 11 minutes 30 seconds Peter Quill / Star-Lord - 10 minutes 15 seconds Vision - 9 minutes 45 seconds Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch - 9 minutes Bruce Banner / Hulk - 8 minutes 45 seconds Peter Parker / Spider-Man - 7 minutes 30 seconds Steve Rogers / Captain America - 6 minutes 45 seconds Rocket Raccoon - 6 minutes Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow - 5 minutes Drax - 4 minutes 45 seconds Mantis - 4 minutes 45 seconds Ebony Maw - 4 minutes Proxima Midnight - 3 minutes 45 seconds Cull Obsidian - 3 minutes 45 seconds Corvus Glaive - 3 minutes 30 seconds King T'Challa / Black Panther - 3 minutes 30 seconds Groot - 3 minutes 15 seconds Nebula - 3 minutes 15 seconds Okoye - 3 minutes 15 seconds Loki - 3 minutes 15 seconds James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine - 3 minutes Eitri - 2 minutes 45 seconds Wong - 2 minutes 45 seconds Sam Wilson / Falcon - 2 minutes 15 seconds, James "Bucky" Barnes / Winter Soldier - 2 minutes Pepper Potts - 1 minute 30 seconds The Stonekeeper - 1 minute 30 seconds Shuri - 1 minute M'Baku - 1 minute Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross - 1 minute Nick Fury - 1 minute Maria Hill - 45 seconds Heimdall - 45 seconds The Collector - 45 seconds Ned Leeds - 15 seconds

Robert Downey, Jr. had a separate deal from his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars when he signed on to reprise his role as Tony Stark (Iron Man) in subsequent Avengers films, after The Avengers (2012). However, his appearances in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016) and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) were not tied to this deal. These negotiations occurred separately after he completed his contract to do the Iron Man (2008) trilogy.

The 2014 Comic-Con revealed that Josh Brolin would play Thanos in future Marvel movies when he came on-stage wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.

Was originally titled "Avengers: Infinity War Part I", with the next movie titled "Avengers: Infinity War Part II". In late July 2016, Marvel Studios announced that this movie would simply be known as "Avengers: Infinity War", while Part II was initially referred to as Untitled Avengers (2019). The final title of Avengers: Endgame (2019) was not revealed until much later, because it contained a spoiler for Part I.

Thor confirms that "Groot" is a language that can be learned and spoken, as he took it as an elective in school on Asgard. This explains why only Rocket was originally able to understand Groot, and the other Guardians had to learn over time. This also confirms that Groot understands English (and likely other languages) but is only able to speak "Groot".

The name "Thanos" is a short form of the Greek name "Thanatos", which means "death" in Greek.

This is the nineteenth movie released by Marvel Studios in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This became the fourth movie to gross over two billion dollars worldwide, after Avatar - Aufbruch nach Pandora (2009), Titanic (1997), and Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015).

According to Chadwick Boseman, production on this movie began just two weeks after production on Black Panther (2018) ended. This meant that all of the actors, actresses, and extras from that movie appeared in this movie and had no problem retaining their cadences.

Co-Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have confirmed that several Asgardians have escaped Thanos' attack, Valkyrie from Thor: Ragnarök (2017) being one of them.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) telling Peter Parker (Tom Holland) to cut it out with the pop culture references is quite hypocritical, as Stark often pokes fun at other characters by calling them by movie titles or character names. In The Avengers (2012), Stark called Loki Wild Christmas (2000), Rock of Ages (2012), and Shakespeare in the Park (1995), he called Thor Gefährliche Brandung (1991), and he called Hawkeye "Legolas". In The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), he called Bucky Der Manchurian Kandidat (2004). In Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), he called Peter Parker "Crockett", as a reference to Miami Vice (1984). In this movie, he scorned Ebony Maw by calling him "Squidward", and he called Star Lord Flash Gordon (1980).

Proxima Midnight, the female member of The Black Order, normally wears a black horned helmet in the comic books. This was changed to organic horns growing from her head, to avoid similarities with Hela's distinctive helmet in Thor: Ragnarök (2017).

Spider-Man asks Tony if he's seen that "really old movie" Aliens - Die Rückkehr (1986). This mirrors his first appearance in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), where he called Das Imperium schlägt zurück (1980) a "really old movie".

There were early drafts of the script where the backstory of The Black Order was explored more. Ultimately, the story was getting too crowded, so it was removed. However, Proxima and Corvus were married in the comic books, and it is hinted at very slightly by pairing them up, and how she reacts to Corvus getting stabbed.

Although not explicitly stated in the movie, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight of The Black Order are husband and wife.

Marvel Studios made the hashtag #ThanosDemandsYourSilence to help stop spoilers.

Rocket calls the outriders "space dogs". This line was written after a focus group saw one of the test screenings: one of the viewers referred to the creatures as "space dogs". The filmmakers thought it was hilarious and decided to add it to the movie.

Natasha Romanoff sports a whitish-blonde hair color, making her resemble Yelena Belova, who, for a while, impersonated Black Widow in the comic books.

This movie, along with Avengers: Endgame (2019), was entirely shot on digital IMAX cameras, specially customized versions of the ARRI Alexa 65 optimized for IMAX. The First Avenger: Civil War (2016) was the first movie to incorporate the new cameras, but only for its airport fight sequence. This made Avengers: Infinity War (2018) the first non-documentary movie to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras, in an exclusive open-matte aspect ratio of 1.9:1. Unfortunately, the standard theatrical showings and all home video releases crop the movie down to the regular letterbox aspect ratio of 2.4:1.

Josh Brolin based his characterization on Marlon Brando's role as Colonel Walter Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979).

It was confirmed by the Russo Brothers that what happened in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016) will still continue in this movie, where the teams will still be divided until the time has come where they must stop Thanos.

The Incredible Hulk crashing into Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum is a nod to the comic book "The Infinity Gauntlet" #1, where the Silver Surfer is the one to crash through Strange's window and warn of the threat of Thanos.

The filmmakers did not know about the war chants the actors and actresses from Black Panther created, as that movie was not nearly finished at the time of shooting. Winston Duke had started the chant, which led to the responding war cry that Chadwick Boseman leads.

Thanos says he was called a madman on his homeworld of Titan. In the comic books, Thanos was known as the Mad Titan. He is also referred to by this name in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).

Tom Holland accidentally revealed the movie's teaser poster via an Instagram live stream in November 2017. The poster contained a note from Mark Ruffalo explaining that the poster had not yet been released, and Holland was supposed to keep it a secret. Ironically, Holland had already showed the poster to the camera and read the message out loud before discovering a large sign on the back that read "CONFIDENTIAL, DO NOT SHARE". However, this seems like a deliberate set-up from the studio, as Holland and Ruffalo are known for revealing too many secrets about past Marvel movies. Plus, it lined up too conveniently with the release date of the first trailer. However, no proof exists.

Although Joss Whedon directed the first two Avengers movies, he did not return to direct either of the next two Avengers movies. Some cast members later admitted that Whedon had a difficult time directing such a close group of actors and actresses, since every creative difference he had with a single person would often lead to a discussion with the others as well. Instead, the Russo Brothers, who directed The Return of the First Avenger (2014) and The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), directed this movie and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Was shipped to theaters under the name "Mary Lou".

On February 11, 2017, Marvel released the first on-set footage from the first day of filming (January 27, 2017). The footage featured a first look at one of the sets from the movie, with Robert Downey, Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), and Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord) shown on-set. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed the movies as the culmination of the entire franchise from its beginning, with Iron Man (2008). Feige also confirmed that The Avengers were broken into two sects in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), in order to set up this movie. Feige described Thanos as, "The biggest, best, and baddest villain that Marvel has ever had", and stated that Thanos would reveal his reasons for hunting down the Infinity Stones. Concept art was also shown depicting Rocket Raccoon fighting alongside Thor, it was recently revealed how the Guardians of the Galaxy will meet The Avengers.

The official trailer for this movie showed Spider-Man exhibiting his spider-sense ability, which was not clearly displayed in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), though it was seen quickly in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016).

This movie's release date was revealed while Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) was still in production.

This movie is Chapter Seven of Phase Three in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This movie is based on the comic book series called "The Infinity Gauntlet" published by Marvel Comics in 1991, but takes its name from the sequel comic book series called "The Infinity War", which has a sequel series called "The Infinity Crusade".

The French dub has Tony use "Voldemort" as an insult to Ebony Maw in place of "Squidward". This is likely because Squidward's French name, "Carlo", was too ordinary for audiences to get the joke, and for the joke to work. The same applies to Squidward's German name, "Thaddäus".

Josh Brolin acted in this movie with a foam headpiece that was the size of Thanos' head, with a camera on his face for visual effects. He also had to wear various foam parts depending on what the scene called for so the other actors and actresses didn't get too close to his real body, and so Thanos' scale was retained.

The filmmakers had a phrase to describe characters meeting and interacting for the first time that they called "strange alchemy". The conflict of personalities between Tony Stark and Doctor Strange is a perfect example of this.

This movie crossed the worldwide box-office mark of one billion dollars in a record time of eleven days after its release. This is the sixth Marvel movie to make this much.

Robert Downey, Jr.'s other recurring role is Sherlock Holmes. In his previous outings as Iron Man, he worked with two Dr. Watsons: Sir Ben Kingsley and Martin Freeman. In this movie, he worked with fellow Sherlock actor, Benedict Cumberbatch. The Russo brothers deliberately did not include a Sherlock joke between the actor's characters, deeming it "too obvious".

Third movie in which Rocket Raccoon has a fascination with prosthetic limbs. In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), a prosthetic leg, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), a prosthetic eye, and in this movie, another eye, and Bucky's new prosthetic arm.

The new Spider-Man suit is based on the Iron Spider outfit from the comics. Like its movie counterpart, it was also created by Tony Stark. This is also the first movie to have Spider-Man use it, as this costume first appeared at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).

James Gunn revealed on Twitter on 4/30/2018 that the name of the Guardians' new ship in this movie is the Benatar.

The filmmakers wanted to explore the idea that these heroes are willing to sacrifice their own lives, but when are they willing to sacrifice somebody else?

There were certain drafts where more time was spent on Titan before it collapsed, with more backstory on Thanos. In the end, the screenwriters felt this glimpse was all that was needed.

(At around thirty-six minutes) These scenes between Wanda and Vision were shot on-location in Edinburgh, Scotland. Edinburgh was chosen because the filmmakers wanted a romantic private place for the two of them to build their relationship that could turn scary and gothic very quickly.

All three Marvel Cinematic Universe phases have referenced either an Infinity Stone or the Infinity Gauntlet with two stones making their debut within each phase. The Space and Mind Stone first appeared during Phase 1, though they were not revealed to be Infinity Stones until Phase 2.

In the comic books, The Black Order usually has a fifth member, another female alien named Supergiant with a mind control superpower.

The filmmakers wanted to show that Tony knows Wanda is on the run with Steve, Vision has been in a relationship with Wanda, and he has been okay with that. They wanted to make it clear that Tony has not been actively seeking to bring Steve, Natasha, Sam, and Wanda to justice.

Natalie Portman announced she would not appear in the movie as Dr. Jane Foster, and that she will not be involved in any future Marvel comic book movies. Portman had signed on to do Thor: The Dark Kingdom (2013), and was apparently unhappy when Director Patty Jenkins was replaced by Alan Taylor. She did not appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Thor: Ragnarök (2017) for the same reason.

On March 1, 2018, as North America was approaching the May 5 release of the movie, Marvel Studios announced that this movie would release worldwide one week earlier, on April 27, 2018. The move comes from The Walt Disney Company's decision to let this movie have more time in the spotlight, before Disney and Lucasfilm released Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) on May 25, 2018.

Rocket carrying around a stolen eye is a callback to a running gag in both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, as he has always been obsessed with prosthetic body parts.

Thanos was originally going to walk through a river of his victims' blood during the Soul Stone sequence, but Marvel decided to tone down its darkness.

There are close to three thousand shots in this movie, with almost two thousand nine hundred of those being visual effects shots.

T'Challa calls Bucky Barnes "The White Wolf". In the comic books, The White Wolf is the alter ego of T'Challa's adopted older brother.

Tom Holland was working on another movie at the same time of the filming of this movie. The other role required him to have longer hair than he'd previously had as Spider-Man, so he had his stylists incorporate the new length into his look for this movie. However, after seeing the final product when the first trailer came out, Holland regretted this decision, saying he looked ridiculous and jokingly compared himself to Prince Charming.

When Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely started working on the script for this movie, there was no Thor: Ragnarök script yet, so they didn't know where Thanos would find Loki. There were many drafts of the script with Thanos finding Loki in several different places.

Thor's journey is compared by the filmmakers to the Labors of Hercules.

Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage appeared in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe (owned by Disney) and the X-Men Universe (owned by Twentieth Century Fox). Brolin played Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Cable in Deadpool 2 (2018) for Fox. Dinklage played Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) and Eitri in this movie.

Originally, the colors of the Infinity Stones were Soul=green, Time=orange, Space=purple, Mind=blue, Reality=yellow, and Power=red. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they share the same colors from the Marvel Legacy version (Soul=orange, Time=green, Space=blue, Mind=yellow, Reality=red, and Power=purple).

Star-Lord's line, "for the record, this was my plan" was a contribution from Chris Pratt.

Doctor Strange uses the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to subdue Thanos momentarily, something Strange uses frequently in the comic books.

The screenwriters initially struggled about where Thor's new axe would be. There were even versions of the script where it was trapped by a dragon. But, returning to the model of scenes serving more than one storytelling function, the screenwriters felt this worked, as it provided a test for Thor, but also displayed what Thanos has wrought.

Carrie Coon was pregnant while doing the motion-capture and voicework for Proxima Midnight. However, most of Proxima Midnight's fight scenes were performed on-set in a motion-capture suit by stuntwoman Monique Ganderton, who is five inches taller than Carrie Coon.

Unlike the previous two "team-up" movies that Marvel has made, no new heroes are introduced in this movie. Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and The Vision were introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and Spider-Man and Black Panther made their first appearances in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016). All of the heroes from The Avengers (2012) appeared in earlier movies.

Longest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie as of April 2018, at two hours and twenty-nine minutes, following The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), which was two hours and twenty-seven minutes.

From the early drafts, the filmmakers knew they wanted to split the Guardians of the Galaxy up. Much like the idea of "strange alchemy", they couldn't have them functioning as a group the whole time, and needed to have them interact with the new players.

This movie was released five days before the 10th Anniversary of Iron Man (2008), the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This movie was scheduled to be released exactly six years after the release of The Avengers (2012), but on March 1, 2018, Marvel moved the release date up to April 27.

The Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers figuring out their plan on Titan was the first scene filmed over the first three days of shooting.

The line "Oh God", spoken by Captain America, was always the last line of the movie. There is also a parallel between this line and Loki's line from the beginning, "You will never be a god".

The filmmakers wanted The Incredible Hulk and Bruce Banner's relationship to become increasingly dysfunctional, carrying over from his last appearance in Thor: Ragnarök (2017). What if The Incredible Hulk were no longer interested in solving problems for Bruce Banner.

In the bottom right corner of Thanos' field, there is a brief moment where viewers can see a scarecrow made out of his armor. This is an homage to the comic books.

The new Iron Man suit is based on Bleeding Edge, and later, Model-Prime armors from the comic books, both of which which used nanotechnology to create a suit which is linked to Stark, and can also create weapons for him to use, such as a bigger gun, and stored away when not in use, which, for the movie, is inside Stark's new arc reactor on his chest as seen when he taps it with his hand.

Bucky Barnes shows up for the fight, having been cryogenically frozen in Wakanda for a while following The First Avenger: Civil War (2016). While he was under, Shuri worked to cure him of his hypnosis as The Winter Soldier. It is also assumed that Steve Rogers has checked up on him periodically.

The filmmakers thought it was important to remind viewers what each Stone does and show it visually, which is why when Thanos obtains a Stone, he usually employs it in the following scene.

The filmmakers thought of this movie as Thanos' hero's journey. That way they could figure out how to put everybody in the movie.

The filmmakers worked with Director Ryan Coogler and his team from Black Panther (2018) as they had maps drawn of the country of Wakanda. They used these maps to better figure out where to place the battle and the strategy that would come into play.

Originally, there was a scene where we saw Thanos obtain the Power Stone from Xandar. To avoid repetition, it was cut from the script.

Thanos (Josh Brolin) is called "Grimace" by Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) at one point. This is a reference to the McDonald's advertisement and McDonaldland (1963) character "Hungry Grimace", who was a friendly giant purple blob. In addition to Ronald McDonald, other characters included Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese, and Officer Big Mac. McDonald's began phasing out these characters in the early 2000s.

When Thor talks with Rocket while they travel to Nidavellir, Thor claims that he's one thousand five hundred-years-old. Since the movie is set in 2018, it reveals that Thor was born in 518 A.D.

Spider-Man referencing Aliens (1986) is a continuation of a running gag set up in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), where Peter has a tendency to use "really old movies" as help for his fight plans. It also drives home the point of how young Peter is compared to the other characters in this movie.

Zoe Saldana's second movie to earn two billion dollars at the worldwide box-office, the first being Avatar - Aufbruch nach Pandora (2009). She received prominent billing in both movies.

The Russo Brothers make fun of their passion for title cards when the SPACE title comes up.

This is the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in which they do not have any scenes together.

In the Sanctum Santorum, Tony Stark pulls out the flip phone that Steve sent him at the end of The First Avenger: Civil War (2016). When it shows the phone number on the phone, the area code displays 678. This is the area code for metro Atlanta, Georgia, same as where most of the movie was filmed.

Wanda was given her power from the Mind Stone, as discovered in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and she is consequently the only person who can destroy it.

Despite being a major actor in the movie, Chris Evans did not appear during the press tour, due to his involvement in the Broadway revival of Lobby Hero. He did, however, appear in a prerecorded bit titled "The Marvel Bunch" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014).

Thanos' henchmen, known as "The Black Order", all have names that have something to do with blackness or darkness. Cull Obsidian, which basically means "black death". Ebony Maw, roughly "dark speaker". Proxima Midnight, or "among the darkness"/"of the darkness". Lastly, Corvus Glaive, whose first name is the name of the constellation depicting a raven. It's also the name for the genus of birds such as crows and ravens; black birds traditionally associated with death. So his name can be seen as black bird of death. (Glaive refers to his weapon, which grants him immortality, as long as it isn't destroyed.)

In Thor (2011), Odin mentioned that Thor's hammer Mjölnir was "forged inside a dying star". Some fans took this as an indication that Mjölnir was made from neutronium, an extremely heavy substance that is sometimes left when big stars die (which would account for Mjölnir's extreme weight). The revelation that Mjölnir was forged in Nidavellir takes the metaphor even further, since Nidavellir is literally a forge inside the remains of a dead star.

In The Avengers (2012), Thor stated that Odin used his dark magic to transport him to and from Earth, as the Bifröst was destroyed. Audiences now find out the dark magic came straight from Heimdall, as he used it to transport The Incredible Hulk here.

This is the first time that the Guardians of the Galaxy meet The Avengers.

Black Panther punching Cull Obsidian is an iconic image translated directly from the comic books.

The filmmakers used The Black Order not only to keep the movie from feeling repetitive, but also to keep the heroes from fighting Thanos until the end.

Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) (Scarlett Johansson) has sported a different hairstyle in every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in which she has appeared: In Iron Man 2 (2010), it was long, curly, and red, in The Avengers (2012), it was short and red, in Captain America: the Winter Soldier (2014), it was of medium length, straight, and red, in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), it was short, curly and red (similar to her hairstyle in The Avengers (2012)), in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016) it was long and red, and in this movie, it was short and blonde.

In his fight with The Incredible Hulk, Thanos has one Stone, but doesn't use it. This shows that he is unbeatable in a one-on-one battle, even before the Stones come into play.

Drax (Dave Bautista) mentions being able to stand still for hours on end. Bautista had to stand for several hours each day getting his make-up applied.

Ebony Maw is partly inspired by Mephisto from the Infinity Gauntlet comic book. Some lines are quoted right from the book, including "My humble personage bows before your grandeur."

Wakanda was shot in a practical location in Georgia with trees and plants built in that were more indigenous to Africa. The foreground for Wakanda was practical, while the background was greenscreened, with textures and plates from Africa added.

The filmmakers decided very early on to turn this movie into a "smash-and-grab heist movie" told from the viewpoint of the lead villain, Thanos.

The name "Thanos" is a short form of the Greek name "Athanasios", which means "immortal" in Greek. In this movie, is a short form of the word "thanatos", which means "death" in Greek. He was an ancient Greek God (Thanatos) and twin brother of Sleep.

Is the only Avengers movie where they don't have the one take "Avengers circle camera angle" like in the previous Avengers movies. The Avengers (2012), the introduction of Avengers in the battle of New York City, and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), all of them battling Ultron's forces while trying to protect the core in Sokovia.

This marks the first Russo Brothers movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to not have a score by Henry Jackman. Alan Silvestri, who scored Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and The Avengers (2012), and composed The Avengers fanfare, that has become synonymous with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, took over.

The first Stone audiences see Thanos obtain is the Space Stone, which has significance, as it was the first stone introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, originally appearing in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

At one point in the movie, Thanos (Josh Brolin) asks The Collector (Benicio del Toro), "Where is the stone?" The same line was said by Benicio del Toro in the opening scene of Snatch (2000).

The Vision's all-white look is a reference to one of his looks from the comic books. In fact, that's the same look vision had in "The Infinity Gauntlet" mini-series comic on which this movie is based.

Knowhere is a setting from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) that the filmmakers wanted to show in a different light, to emphasize Thanos' effect on the universe.

The giant member of The Black Order, Cull Obsidian, is the official name of the entire squad in the comic books. He is named Black Dwarf (after a Black Dwarf star) and Thanos dubbed them Cull Obsidian, although the group prefers "The Black Order".

Originally, the Soul Stone had been revealed to be a "pearl" color, the biggest Stone, and in the middle of the Gauntlet.

Entering Wakanda for the third act of the movie was not an easy decision for the filmmakers, and was discussed extensively. It was coming only two months after the release of Black Panther (2018), and the filmmakers did not want to have audiences feel like they were sitting through a repeat third act.

In August 2016, Vin Diesel confirmed that the Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in this movie.

The filmmakers wanted to show that from this moment forward, once Thanos disposes of his armor, he doesn't spend much of his energy intentionally trying to murder anyone unless he or she is a direct threat to Thanos' agenda.

The Incredible Hulk has gradually decreased the time between his appearances throughout the twenty-first century, by one year fragments. Eric Bana starred in Hulk (2003), with the franchise being rebooted with The Incredible Hulk (2008), starring Edward Norton. The part was re-cast with Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers (2012). Ruffalo reprised his role in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), with him then again reprising it in Thor: Ragnarök (2017). He appeared in this movie. His appearances in 2003, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2018 all decreased one year in-between appearances.

The flip phone that Captain America had, had a 678 area code. 678 is a U.S. area code for Atlanta, Georgia, where this movie was filmed.

In May 2018, this was one of three Marvel movies in theaters at the same time. The others being Black Panther (2018) and Deadpool 2 (2018).

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo say that Thor obtaining his axe was one of the more complex scenes in the movie to edit. The placement of scenes changed a lot.

There is an extended scene that shows more of Wanda and The Vision trying to escape The Black Order.

The filmmakers thought of Peter Quill as sort of a Peter Pan character, as he was kidnapped at the age of ten and raised by pirates. He's very flawed and very damaged, which makes him very human.

There is a parallel between Thanos and Tony Stark, in that they both are aware of something from an early point and constantly have to deal with being smarter than others. Thanos is a futurist as much as Tony Stark, which is why he is aware of who Stark is from the original battle in New York City, as the person who undid the plan.

In the scene where Scarlet Witch and Vision see the attack in New York City, she's standing outside a shop in Edinburgh, Scotland. You can clearly see a sign inside the store that reads "we will deep fry your Kebab". There is a long running joke (in the U.K. at least) that Scots will deep fry absolutely any food unnecessarily, which stems from the infamous Deep Fried Mars Bar.

There is a deleted scene that showed the Guardians of the Galaxy answering Nebula's distress calls.

Filming was undertaken in Durham Cathedral on May 1, 2017.

The match-up of Ebony Maw against Doctor Strange is a nod to the Infinity comic books.

Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland appeared in Im Herzen der See (2015).

This movie begins and ends with a distress signal.

The fourth movie to reach the two billion dollar mark at the worldwide box-office. It is also the first superhero movie, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe title, the second non-James Cameron movie, and the second movie released by Disney (after Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)) to do so.

There were versions of the script where Gamora and Thanos first ran into each other on Xandar while Thanos was obtaining the Power Stone. This was later changed to their reunion at Knowhere.

Gamora is undone by her sister, who, in part, she helped create. In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), we find out that every time Gamora beat Nebula in a training session, Thanos replaced parts of her, trying to create a better fighter through robotic parts. After Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Gamora and Nebula's relationship is much stronger, so Gamora is torn here.

Thanos and Loki had an off-screen relationship before The Avengers (2012), where he entrusted Loki with a duty, and he failed. This is Thanos making him pay for that.

On April 26, 2018, the day before it got a wide release, it received enough votes to take the number two spot on IMDb's Top 250 with a 9.2 out of 10, a record for a Marvel movie.

Florence Kasumba made her third appearance as one of the members of the Dora Milaje. Her first was in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), where she told Black Widow "move or you will be moved".

The filmmakers wanted every scene to establish more than one thing. The opening scene establishes The Incredible Hulk's journey, a vengeance story for Thor, and the Stone collection plotline.

Following the events of The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon have been on the run for two years, becoming more hardened, living in the shadows.

(At around one hour and fifty-three minutes) This is Thor and Captain America's first time seeing each other since Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).

The cast features three Academy Award winners, Gwyneth Paltrow, Benicio Del Toro, and William Hurt; and eight nominees, Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bradley Cooper, Josh Brolin, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Zoe Saldana is reunited with Star Trek villains Benedict Cumberbatch and Idris Elba in this movie. She also shared scenes with Chris Hemsworth, who appeared in Star Trek (2009). The role of Bruce Banner (Hulk), in the unrelated Hulk (2003), was played by Star Trek villain Eric Bana.

The cast includes three Oscar winners: Gwyneth Paltrow, Benicio Del Toro, and William Hurt. This movie ties with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Thor: Ragnarök (2017) in having three Oscar winners featured in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.

The line "I wouldn't say no to a tuna melt" spoken by Wong was in the first draft of the script.

The Black Order's power sets were adjusted for the movie, to not outshine the lead villain, and to line up with the heroes in a more interesting way.

The four metallic legs from the Iron Spider suit in the comic books will be integrated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the Iron Spider suit that Peter Parker (Tom Holland) wears.

In The Return of the First Avenger (2014), it was mentioned that Steve Rogers was born in 1918. If Rogers hadn't been frozen under for many years, then this movie, taking place in 2018, would make him one hundred years old.

There was a fifteen-minute version of the scene with Thor on the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship. The scene was edited very early on, and didn't evolve much from the early cut.

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo wanted to pay homage to the Vincent Price movie, The Raven (1963), by showing a scene where Thanos' full powers went up against Doctor Strange's full powers.

This marks the first time two members of the Guardians of the Galaxy come to Earth.

In this movie, Thanos (Josh Brolin) is questioning The Collector (Benicio Del Toro) about one of the Infinity Stones, during this scene, Thanos asks The Collector "Where is the stone?" This may or may not be a nod to another movie in which Del Toro starred, Snatch - Schweine und Diamanten (2000) where Del Toro's character asks another "Where is the stone?", referring to a diamond in that movie.

Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson, and Pom Klementieff appeared in Old Boy (2013), directed by Spike Lee.

This is not the first time that Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro have confronted each other as adversaries. They previously butted heads as police officer and attorney, respectively, in Inherent Vice - Natürliche Mängel (2014).

Screenwriter Stephen McFeeley makes a cameo alongside William Hurt during his conference call.

Rocket reminded co-Director Joe Russo of Louie De Palma from Taxi (1978), tough on the outside, but with a little heart deep inside.

Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro appeared in Inherent Vice (2014), Sicario (2015), and Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018).

"Vala" is Xhosa for "close" when the warriors activate their shields, as in close ranks.

Rocket is the only hero to not go face Thanos. All of the Guardians fought the mad titan on Knowhere and Titan, but only Groot faced him on Earth.

There is a deleted scene with an appearance by Happy Hogan in the park.

The filmmakers redesigned the ship with a different texture from the brightly colored whimsy of Thor: Ragnarök (2017) to show the strong change in tone of this story.

In The Avengers (2012), Tony goes to space for a brief moment and sees the looming threat of Thanos. Here he is back in space, about to face off with what he saw then.

Thor's childlike glee at the sight of Nidavellir is a moment back from his youth. This is his Asgardian heritage.

There was a re-shoot scene between Tony and Pepper that illustrated from where the phone came, but it was later dropped from the movie.

Out of the first three Avengers movies, this installment has the shortest amount of time before the title appears (at around eleven minutes). The Avengers (2012) has the second shortest (eleven minutes and forty-one seconds), and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) has the longest (twelve minutes and fifteen seconds).

There is a deleted scene where Gamora and Thanos go even more deeply into their history together. It ended up being too long, and the filmmakers managed to make a tighter version work.

A big moment for the filmmakers was giving Spider-Man the Iron Spider outfit, something that was shown at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).

There is a nod to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), when Ebony Maw burns his hand.

The "decoy date" for Pepper Potts and Tony Stark's marriage, August 27th, is the date of Robert Downey, Jr.'s marriage to Susan Levin.

The shot of Peter Parker's hair raising is CGI, and is also an example of his spider-sense warning him of danger.

The river in Wakanda was built into the ground on a ranch in Georgia. There was a pump controlling the water and able to pump out thirty thousand gallons a minute.

When Thanos arrives on Titan and Doctor Strange remarks "you're much more of a Thanos". This is a reference to the fact that in the comic books, Thanos' birth name was Dione.

First movie in the Philippines to earn one billion Philippine pesos (around twenty to twenty-five million U.S. dollars). It also had the highest-grossing opening day there, with one hundred forty-one million Philippine pesos.

There were drafts of the script where Tony and Steve reunited here, but it was much more complicated, and ultimately did not work.

When Thor is found adrift in space by the Guardians of the Galaxy, this is not the first time in the Marvel Comics Universe where the Guardians find him, in the Guardians 3000 featuring Star Hawk, Vance Astro, Yondu, Rocket and others come across a frozen Thor floating in space while they are searching for Captain America's shield. He is also alive in the future with Mjölnir still intact, but frozen for nearly one thousand years.

Robert Downey, Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch have appeared as Sherlock Holmes in the film franchise, and the 2010 television series, respectively.

Elizabeth Olsen and Josh Brolin appeared as love interests in Oldboy (2013), the second live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga.

(At around one hour and thirty-nine minutes) The name of these creatures is the Outriders, making their first appearance in the Infinity comic books.

Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, and Anthony Mackie appeared in What's Your Number? (2011).

Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen appeared in I Saw the Light (2015) about American country singer Hank Williams.

Thor states he is one thousand five hundred-years-old, which gives his birthdate in the year 518 A.D. However, historically the first mention of Thor is (using the method of "interpretatio romana", where characteristics perceived to be similar by Romans result in identification of a Norse god as a Roman or Greek deity, in this case, Thor is equated to Hercules) by the Roman historian Tacitus is the first century (1 A.D. to 100 A.D.), predating the date Thor gave by four hundred years. Presumably though, after this amount of time, it would either be hard to remember exactly how many years you've lived, or it would be unimportant. Thor may have said fifteen hundred years for an "at least" approximation.

One of two 2018 films featuring Paul Bettany to feature a villain named "Proxima". Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) is the other.

The Avengers' compound where this scene was shot is a two thousand-square-foot set. The colors were embraced more here than in the Captain America movies, as those were meant to desaturate things and bring Cap into the real world a little more.

When Thor tells the Guardians of the Galaxy about The Avengers, Mantis mentions the actor Kevin Bacon, Peter Quill's hero, and Thor says "He might have joined". Kevin Bacon played the Marvel supervillain Sebastian Shaw, antagonist of the X-Men, in X-Men: First Class (2011).

(At around forty-three minutes) This scene had existed from the first draft, changing slightly through the process. It was always meant to highlight the abusive father-daughter relationship Thanos and Gamora have had.

The war cry "yibambe" isn't Wakandan. It's taken from the Xhosa language, spoken by twenty million people in Africa, and it translates to "hold fast".

Tom Holland's third time playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man on-screen after The First Avenger: Civil War (2016) and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), equalling Tobey Maguire.

There was originally a draft of the script where Captain America saving Vision was Cap's first appearance in this movie. Like Lancelot in Excalibur (1981), Captain America shows up in this key moment of the battle to save Vision.

The Asgardian ship at the beginning of the movie is the same ship from the ending of Thor: Ragnarök (2017), an example of how directly the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe connect.

Josh Brolin and Anthony Mackie appeared in Gangster Squad (2013).

Elizabeth Olson and Pom Klementieff appeared in Ingrid Goes West (2017).

There is a Jumanji (1995) connection with the movie: Scarlett Johnasson auditioned for Judy Shepherd in the 1995 movie, but lost out to Kirsten Dunst, and Karen Gillan played Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017).

Doctor Strange uses three of his signature spells in this movie, the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak, the Images of Ikonn, and the Shield of the Seraphim.

(At around seventeen minutes) This scene has moved from the soundstage to a street in Atlanta, Georgia.

Stan Lee: The comic book writer who co-created most of the characters featured in this movie is featured here as Peter Parker's school bus driver. In addition, this movie also contains remnants from Stan's past cameos: Tony Stark uses the flip phone that Stan delivered to him in The First Avenger: Civil War (2016), and Thor still sports the haircut that Stan gave him in Thor: Ragnarök (2017).
