  Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to 2012's The Avengers and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by the writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Josh Brolin, and Chris Pratt. In Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop Thanos from amassing the all-powerful Infinity Stones.

 The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015 and by May, Markus and McFeely signed on to write the script for the film, which drew inspiration from Jim Starlin's 1991 "The Infinity Gauntlet" comic and Jonathan Hickman's 2013 "Infinity" comic. In July 2016, Marvel shortened the title to Avengers: Infinity War. Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, and lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel. Additional filming took place in Scotland, England, the Downtown Atlanta area and New York City. With an estimated budget between $300–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made, and the most costly of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 Avengers: Infinity War held its world premiere on April 23, 2018 in Los Angeles, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 27, 2018, in IMAX and 3D. It received positive reviews from critics, who called it an "overstuffed classic" and praised the cast (and Brolin in particular), visual effects and emotional weight of the story, although its 149-minute runtime and under-use of some characters were criticized. The sequel is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2019.

What does Thanos want?

That question lies at the heart of Avengers: Infinity War, the at-once dark, maddeningly open-ended yet fiercely entertaining new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which pits the titular global do-gooders - still scattered hither and yon after their 2016 falling-out with one another in Captain America: Civil War - against a cosmic villain who has been coyly signaling his evil intentions ever since the very first Avengers movie, in 2012. And that's without ever really appearing on-screen, except in teasing cameos.

Oh sure, everyone knows he wants the Infinity Stones. Or at least everyone who's been paying attention to the previous 18 MCU movies. Ever since 2008's Iron Man, these interconnected installments have introduced audiences to the six gemlike "singularities": color-coded stones controlling power, space, time, mind, soul and reality. Taken collectively, these artifacts are the mother of all MacGuffins - plot devices that drive the narrative, but may or may not have much to do with the true message of the story.

But what does Thanos want with them? That question is answered, in a film that presents a villain in a more nuanced, complex (and arguably even sympathetic) way than most comic book movies do. That's especially unexpected, given that he's a purple alien (voiced by Josh Brolin), created from CGI motion-capture, with skin that looks like a cantaloupe.

What is not unexpected is the film's death toll. Fanboys and fangirls have already steeled themselves to the eventuality that favorite characters will die here. Opening with a distress call from the Asgardian refugee spaceship that was seen fleeing planetary destruction at the end of last year's Thor: Ragnarok, Infinity War gets that outcome out of that way early, paving a path forward for a film that, while very funny for much of its 2 1/2-hour running time, ends on an almost stunningly somber note.

It should be mentioned that there is already a sequel planned for next year that is likely to act as a corrective - short of bringing people back from the grave. In the manner of the second and third "Matrix" films, and the "Deathly Hallows" segments of the Harry Potter films, you can expect that upcoming movie to be more of a conclusion to a giant, two-part saga - complete with this installment's cliffhanger ending - than a free-standing sequel.

Death and destruction, of course, is what Thanos has in mind. But unlike many cartoonish villains, his motives, as explained in flashbacks and speeches, are not those of universal domination. Rather, he wants to kill half of the universe's population - which is threatened by overpopulation and dwindling resources - to save the other half. His coldblooded calculation is not only a perversion of altruism - it's an argument for extermination. But, for a superhero movie, the nuance with which the film presents this horrible scenario is refreshing.

As Infinity War gets underway, Thanos has already acquired the Power Stone and is seeking the other five - four of which are in the control of characters we know from previous films. The location of the sixth, or Soul Stone, has long been unknown, but it will bring Thanos the power he seeks, not to mention to a moral and emotional precipice that will probably strike many viewers as startling for a film of this kind. I heard audible gasps, more than once, at a recent press screening.

I also heard lots of laughter.

The entertainment media has made much of so-called Avengers Fatigue, from Marvel exhausting its storytelling capabilities - as well as our attention span. But brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, who return as co-directors after Civil War and its predecessor, Winter Soldier, move the pace briskly and with frequent levity, as heroes from various Marvel franchises keep throwing things - sometimes literally - at Thanos, and as the scene of the action shifts from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" team's spaceship to Black Panther's African homeland of Wakanda to, at one point, Scotland. It is there that the synthetic humanoid known as Vision (Paul Bettany) - who wears the Mind Stone like a diadem on his forehead - and girlfriend Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), have gone off the grid.

Needless to say, that cozy love nest won't stay cozy long.

Infinity War is big, blustery and brave, taking viewers to places that they may not be used to going. Whether Thanos ends up getting everything he wants is one thing. But audiences should be warned that they probably won't.
