Everything You Need To Know Before Watching Avengers: Infinity War

Avengers: Infinity War is almost here. The studio's biggest and most ambitious film to date, it marks the beginning of the end of the first three Phases of the franchise and will act as a celebration of how far the MCU has come since it all started with Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man back in 2008. As such, it will feature every hero still rolling around the shared universe coming together against the awesome might of Thanos.

Current Situation: When Scott Lang became Ant-Man, he hoped that he was moving away from his criminal past and becoming a hero. However, it wasn’t long before he ended up locked back in a cell. When Falcon contacted him, Scott jumped at the chance to fight alongside his idol Captain America but this landed him a spot in the Raft when Team Iron Man won. He was released with the rest when Steve Rogers freed them, but this has left him a fugitive from the law once again. It’s unknown how large (or small) a role Ant-Man will play in Infinity War, but we imagine he won’t be too involved.

Current Situation: After the events of Age of Ultron, and the birth of his third child, Clint Barton retired from active superhero duty to spend more time with his family. However, he volunteered to go back into action again to serve alongside Team Cap during the conflict over the Sokovia Accords. This caused him to be incarcerated in the Raft for a while, though he eventually escaped. It’s thought that he returned to his wife and kids afterwards, with the Bartons probably having to find a new safe house. Much like Ant-Man, we don’t currently know what role Hawkeye will fill in Infinity War, but we’ve been told that some exciting things are in store for him.
