Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 adventure movie directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, with a running time of 2h 29m. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth.
Thanos moves at last, hunting the six Infinity Stones scattered across the galaxy, and every hero the Marvel films have introduced stands in his way. The Russo brothers pull the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, and the heroes of Wakanda into one sprawling, cross-cut war. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans share the frame with a dozen others, while Josh Brolin plays Thanos as a patient, grieving zealot who believes his slaughter is mercy. The scale is enormous and the mood, for a superhero blockbuster, unusually grim.

A few thoughts on Avengers: Infinity War
For the story behind the story, read Jim Starlin's The Infinity Gauntlet, the 1991 comic that handed the film its villain and its stakes. Players wanting to inhabit this universe should try Marvel's Spider-Man, which nails the same blend of spectacle and human cost.
Marvel ensemble movies where every hero shares one frame
Infinity War pulls the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange and Wakanda's heroes into one sprawling, cross-cut war against Thanos. Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, both Guardians of the Galaxy films, Eternals, The Marvels and Thunderbolts* all work from that same interconnected roster, letting a dozen storylines collide inside a single Marvel movie.
Superhero team-ups outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel isn't the only studio staging a superhero crossover on this scale. Justice League brings together DC's biggest names for one team mission, X-Men: Days of Future Past merges two generations of mutants into a single timeline, Black Adam introduces an entire hero unit around its antihero lead, and The Flash folds a multiverse of past heroes into its own finale.
The comics behind team-scale superhero battles
Infinity War adapts Jim Starlin's own Infinity Gauntlet, where Thanos hunts the same six stones and every Marvel hero converges to stop him. My Hero Academia and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles build their own sprawling hero rosters across hundreds of pages, and Saint Seiya's armored warriors fight as a coordinated team the same way the Avengers do on screen.
