It’s going on three weeks since Avengers: Infinity War made its historic debut, and it’s fair to say that the Marvel epic has left its mark on the global box office.
At $1.68 billion and counting – a figure that’s higher than even Jurassic World‘s own record gross – Infinity War has blazed past one financial milestone after another on its path to immortality, where it now joins the likes of Avatar, Titanic and Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Hollywood’s box office pantheon.
But enough talk about money; we’re fast approaching the moment when everyone can speak freely about Avengers: Infinity War and its devastating finale without the need to slap a ‘spoiler warning’ on the masthead. With that in mind, the folks over at Marvel Studios News have today compiled a gallery of behind-the-scenes pics for Infinity War and, yes, you should promptly close this tab if you’re yet to see Joe and Anthony Russo’s blockbuster epic with your own two eyes.
If nothing else, this collection of HD photos proves just how much of Infinity War was created through special effects. Sure, the epic finale on Titan (and Wakanda!) required a lot of heavy-lifting for Marvel’s SFX team, but some of the sequel’s quieter moments – like, say, Pepper and Tony discussing their future in New York – also included a number of visual effects shots. So it’s a credit to Joe and Anthony Russo, then, that the Marvel threequel still managed to find the humanity amid all the CG carnage.
Avengers: Infinity War is playing everywhere as of now, and its continued success will undoubtedly have a positive knock-on effect for Ant-Man and the Wasp, which is poised to continue the story of Scott Lang (and Hope Van Dyne!) post-Civil War.
