Waching daily Jan 1 2018

with a new year approaching Marvel's infinity war is shaping up to be the

biggest hit of 2018 already topping two separate polls as the most anticipated

movie while it remains to be seen when the next trailer will drop a new promo

poster has been spotted in the wild which features several different Marvel

heroes many of whom aren't often seen together while it's not uncommon to find

Hulk Mark Ruffalo Iron Man Robert Downey jr. Black Widow Scarlett Johansson and

vision Paul Bettany hanging out this poster also features some relative

newcomers to the MCU such as spider-man Tom Holland and black panther chadwick

boseman along with two of the guardians of the galaxy star-lord Chris Pratt and

Gamora Zoe Saldana as diverse as this cross-section of Heroes is it's still

just a small portion of the MCU characters that will be featured in this

mass of ensemble directors Tony and Joe Russo made headlines last year when they

revealed that the movie will feature 67 different characters although they later

walked back that number still this movie will unite practically the entire Marvel

Cinematic Universe and every major character that has appeared thus far

will have a role in this epic superhero adventure although it still isn't clear

if any characters from the TV side of the MCU will be along for the ride we

recently learned from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige that the first

five minutes of Avengers infinity war will be devastating adding that fans

will know why Thanos Josh Brolin is the biggest and baddest villain in the

history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe while the Marvel Studios president

wouldn't reveal how these opening moments will be devastating at least a

few of beloved MCU characters will be killed off right away which would be an

intriguing opening into this epic adventure who will be killed off won't

be answered until the movie hits theaters on May 4 2018 kicking off the

2018 summer movie season we reported yesterday that Thor's new

weapon in Avengers infinity war may have already been revealed thanks to leaked

Lego set photos while there is no indication that this weapon is actually

in the movie the Lego set photo features a large axe that is clearly John Jordan

from the Marvel Comics an axe that Thor Chris Hemsworth

actually used long before he wielded in Gilmer it was because Thor could not let

him deal nor after several attempts that he wielded John Jorn and used it as his

primary weapon this weapon change makes sense after hella cate blanchett

destroyed angela in thor ragnarok so the mighty Asgardian is in the market for a

new weapon as he gets ready to take on fellows aside from being named the most

anticipated 2018 movie in two separate polls the Avengers infinity war trailer

is the most watched trailer in the history of YouTube with 100 million one

hundred eighty two thousand nine hundred twenty one views besting the previous

record of 99 million nine hundred eighty-four thousand fifty four set by

the first full-length trailer for Star Wars The Force awakens it's possible

that Avengers infinity war could break the streak of three years in a row with

Star Wars movies topping the domestic charts since the controversial solo a

Star Wars story may not be able to put up the same numbers as its predecessors

2015 Star Wars The Force awakens 2016 s rogue one a Star Wars story in this

year's Star Wars the last Jedi
