For those who are very excited to watch Marvel's latest movie offering, 'Avengers: Infinity War,' Marvel just released an update saying that instead of splitting the said movie in two parts, it will now be compressed and played as one heavy-action movie. Originally, the two-part Marvel movie was supposed to be 'Avengers: Infinity War' followed by 'Avengers: Infinity War II.'
The first and second part of the Marvel movie was scheduled to be released in 2018 and 2019 respectively. However, according to The Verge, there have been some changes and the originally two-part movie is set to be released as one.
Knowing Marvel's track record when it comes to connected storylines, theories that the two-part movies will have different stories can be debunked. If the two-part movie will indeed be separated from each other, there is still a high probability that the two stories will still have a connection somewhere down their individual storyline.
Admittedly, avid followers of Marvel movies can say that the studio's decision to skip the Part 1 and Part 2 of their latest movie is a totally refreshing one. For years, Marvel has been entertaining moviegoers and engaging their attention by releasing movies that are connected with each other through Part 1 and 2.
Perhaps Marvel started to get a hint that releasing sequels for their movies isn't a guarantee anymore that the fans will love and support the sequel. A concrete example for this is 'Hungergames' franchise, whose first movie was a great hit for the viewers but ended up going downhill for the succeeding installments.
Entertainment Weekly confirms the news that the originally planned two-part Marvel movie will be very different from each other. The directors of the upcoming film reportedly said that the films will have different stories and is even on the process of title changes.
