Avengers: Infinity War is now months in our rearview mirror. In fact, it’s so far back in our rearview mirror that we now have Ant-Man and the Wasp sitting there as a more recent MCU experience. All the same, that film even teased the journey to come in Avengers 4, even further building the hype for the eventual capper to Phase 3 of the MCU.
Avengers 4 doesn’t come out until next May but filming is already done since it was shot back to back with Avengers: Infinity War. It’s not often that Marvel movies get such a long time to do the edit and Kevin Feige spoke to Birth.Movies.Death. about the process.
“We’re just starting the edit,” Feige told Birth Movies Death. “The brothers have worked on their cut, and we’ve been together in the editing room for a couple weeks now, so it’s very early days. But it’s much earlier than usual, right? Usually we’re still filming. Captain Marvel comes out in March, while this one comes out in May and we’re already starting.”
He explained: “It’s fun to get a jump, it’s good having already shot the majority of the movie. So we’re just getting into our traditional editorial process now.”
Theoretically, this gives them much more time to massage the film into the beast they want it to be, which will hopefully result in a much stronger film than we otherwise would have had. With this being the end of Phase 3, it makes perfect sense that they want to give themselves that extra bit of time.
No matter how much time they have to edit the film, expectations will be high for the follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War.
Avengers 4 is set to hit theaters May 3, 2019.
