It seems this month’s spell of Avengers 4 reshoots will narrow the focus down to the film’s top-secret finale. Or so says Mark Ruffalo.
The Infinity War star and all-around MCU mainstay swung by the Marvelites Podcast (h/t ComicBook.com) to discuss the general goings-on of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and whether or not Ruffalo is game for a Hulk/Wolverine crossover. Spoilers: he is. Very much so, in fact.
But when the conversation inevitably circled back to Avengers 4, Ruffalo played coy, before admitting that the next port of call will be to begin additional photography for Joe and Anthony Russo’s unnamed sequel. And after that? Another international press tour to herald the second Avengers movie in as many years.
Well we’re doing reshoots starting in September. And then we’ll go back into the international tour, we’ll go on tour. Then you guys will get the second installment. Which we don’t even know what it’s gonna be yet. We’re not just doing reshoots, we’re going to finish the movie, which we really didn’t get to finish totally when we left it last year.
When asked about the nature of those last-minute reshoots, Mark Ruffalo stopped short of mentioning specifics, and warned viewers that Avengers 4 will continue to chop and change over the coming weeks. Which is to say that we shouldn’t believe everything we read on the Internet.
I don’t even know that they really know exactly. Some of it is happening while we’re there. It’s pretty amazing. And we’ll shoot some stuff and a few days later come back and reshoot it cause we wanna take it in another direction. It’s a very living organism, even as we approach it being a locked picture, we’re still working on it.
One thing’s for sure: the as-yet-untitled Avengers 4 will tumble off the production line on May 3rd, 2019, by which point we ought to be pretty familiar with Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, the new kid on the MCU block destined to become the franchise’s strongest ever character.
