Avengers: Infinity War Director Reveals His Favorite Shot From The Movie
Director Joe Russo offers insight into one of his favorite shots from all of Avengers: Infinity War. Following their sitcom work, Joe and Anthony Russo were hired by Marvel Studios to direct Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014. Its success led the Russo brothers to helm some of the most notable films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Hollywood history.
A year before the Russos’ MCU magnum opus, Avengers: Endgame, became one of the highest-grossing films of all time, “the most ambitious crossover event in history,” Infinity War, was released in theaters. The film marked the culmination (not the end) of Marvel Studios’ first three phases/the Infinity Saga, bringing together nearly all of the MCU’s characters in the struggle against the Mad Titan, Thanos. In its third act, Steve Rogers/Captain America, T’Challa/Black Panther, the Avengers, and the Wakandan forces mount a defense against Thanos’ Black Order, who aim to acquire Vision’s Mind Stone. The battle begins as T’Challa orders a section of Wakanda’s barrier to be opened so the Outriders head directly for their army, which stands between them and Vision. After yelling “Wakanda Forever!," T’Challa, Cap, and company charge toward the enemy, resulting in one of the director’s favorite shots.
