Confirmed- Avengers Infinity War will See the End the Avengers as We Know Them

We’ve known for a while that Avengers: Infinity War will be big when it’s released (and the film being in two parts certainly illustrates that Marvel have big plans for the film), but now we also know that it could see the end of the Avengers team as we knew them, or at least be the final film for a number of the members.

Avengers: Age of Ultron producer Jeremy Latcham had the following to say:

“It definitely is an end to some version of the team that we’ve come to know in The Avengers. Who knows exactly what’s gonna happen yet in that film but I think this version of that team, and I think we hint to it at the end of Age of Ultron, that the team will be evolving. And one of the things that we love from the comics is that the roster is always changing. New people are coming onto the team. You can pick up an Avengers book 10 years later and you don’t recognize the people on the cover but the ideas and the ideals that make the Avengers the Avengers still exist and I think that’s part of what this culmination will be. We’re seeing this version of the team doing this thing to save the universe, the galaxy, however you want to put it, and then we’ll kind of see where that goes. You know? It’s not the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but I think it’s the end of part of it, for sure. We’re still trying to sort out which parts.”

The comments made by Latcham came from a Q&A promoting the Age of Ultron release on blu-ray and DVD.

Several of the cast members contracts run out soon so it’s likely that their final film would be Infinity War. Those cast members include Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) among others.

Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 will be released in May, 2018. The following year (2019) will see the release of Avengers: Infinity War Part 2.

Thoughts on this news? Does this make you a little less excited for Infinity War?
