I would have liked to have tried to watch the previous 17/18 movies in the run up to this, but I simply haven't got time.

So what would be your minimum essential movies for this? I'd probably say:

Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy (A few Thanos scenes)
Age of Ultron
Civil War

Which leaves out a lot of my favourites (Iron-man, Winter soldier etc) and means I have to watch Age of Ultron again

To be entirely true you should watch any film that involves an infinity stone. Sadly that means watching Thor The Dark World.

that would be a bit odd though as they have said the title will be a spoiler, and that isn't really.

It is if you see it as confirming the outcome of the Infinity War.

Nothing wrong with The Dark World personally speaking.

I enjoyed it at the cinema

Less so on second viewing. The weakest of all MCU villains, surely? (in terms of screen time and script)

I can remember it, that is enough.

So in actual fact:

Captain America: First Avenger
Avengers
Thor: The Dark World
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Doctor Strange

Thanos is getting his own Avengers Infinity war tie-in novel. Contains a spoiler so be warned reading the official synopsis of the novel in the link on Thanos’ backstory does potentially reveal whether or not the Avengers succeed in defeating the Mad Titan :

Marvel look back over last 10 years.

So, in the trailers for Infinity War you see someone in the War Machine suit, do we know who that's going to be or will it be automated?

VincentHanna · 21 Apr 2018 at 11:15

It's rhodey. He's in the trailer and can seemingly walk again thanks to stark tech.

Indeed, I quite liked the Tube scene, made me chuckle!

Rumor is Wakanda fixed him up similar to how they did Martin Freeman in Black Panther.

Trig · 21 Apr 2018 at 13:29

Wonder if there will be any interaction between him and Dr Strange given he was mentioned in the Dr Strange film...

No1newts · 21 Apr 2018 at 14:17

I must be one of the few who isn't that interested in this, I'll certainly see it as my son wants to go but I've been superhero'd to death with the amount of films that have came out I'm really not bothered

Still haven't seen Spiderman (despite being a huge fan) Dr Strange or Black Panther, I think the only recent one I've seen is GotG2.

Trig · 21 Apr 2018 at 16:10

Haven't seen Black Panther yet, been too busy tbh

I enjoyed it too, more than most marvel films. I thought Ecclestone played a the antagonist very well - aloof and detached as if the world of "light" was not deserving of his attention.

VincentHanna · 21 Apr 2018 at 19:16

He only had about 5 minutes of screen time :confused:

Glanza · 23 Apr 2018 at 11:31

This week is going to be hard to keep spoiler free, already videos on Youtube with spoilers in the titles showing up in trending and recommended for me.

VincentHanna · 23 Apr 2018 at 12:00

I'm going to Portugal tomorrow morning on Holiday, and I'm not back until May 3rd.

No way I can avoid spoilers that long, so I will be watching it on Wednesday 25th when it opens there! Fianceé is aware of this and ok with it

[They show movies in English with Portuguese subtitles]
