Recently we came across a picture from the upcoming Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War movie which showed Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and Bucky (Sebastian Stan) backed by the King T’Challa’s army. Now the question that needs to be answered is what might be Wakanda’s Avengers: Infinity War connection all about.
It is speculated that Wakanda is home to an Infinity Stone and this is what brings the massive battle to the advanced African nation. Fans believe the Marvel superheroes are in Wakanda to defend the Soul Stone as Thanos will need the stone to fully assemble his Infinity Gauntlet. Putting a stop to all the rumors and speculations, we finally have some words from Avengers: Infinity War director Anthony Russo.
In a recent interview with EW, director Anthony Russo gave some details about the Wakanda sequence.
“Vision is a living MacGuffin,” Russo told EW. “Obviously, that raises the stakes because Vision’s life is in danger, and his life is in conflict with Thanos’ goals, so something’s got to give…Cap makes the decision to bring [Vision] here to Wakanda. Earth is making its last stand to keep the stone from Thanos. It’s the best place to make your last stand.”
Notably, Captain America’s (Chris Evans) decision to relocate Vision does make sense. If you could recall, Black Panther/T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) helped him hide his friend Bucky at the end of Captain America: Civil War. However, the Soul Stone’s location continues to remain a mystery.
Recently, a photo of Bucky also revealed the Winter Solider whole again with a golden arm. It looks like the superhero may have got an upgrade as well.
Talking more about Avengers: Infinity War, the film will see Marvel superheroes battle against Marvel’s super-villain Thanos and the Black Order as they attempt to secure the Infinity Stones.
Marvel Studios has reportedly preponed Avengers: Infinity War’s release date from May 4 to April 27, 2018. The film, which features 76 Marvel Cinematic Universe characters including almost 40 Marvel superheroes, is expected to bring in more than $235 million in its opening weekend at the box office.
