The first thought after seeing “Avengers: Infinity War,” the superhero jam session bringing together the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, is one of cinematic awe.
It’s quite a feat for directors Anthony and Joe Russo to bring together a couple dozen of Marvel’s biggest superheroes — Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Black Panther, Falcon, the Guardians of the Galaxy and a bunch more — into a single epic adventure.
What’s more, they do so in a story — scripted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who worked with the Russos on the last two “Captain America” movies — that delivers action, emotion and a dramatic conclusion that will leave fans floored.
