‘Avengers 4’: Joe and Anthony Russo Talk Reshoots
Avengers 4 will undergo reshoots from now until the end of the year, but there’s no reason for fans to panic, as directors Joe and Anthony Russo explain that these reshoots have been planned and will take place from now until the end of the year, and the reason they’ll take so long is due to the schedules of the cast and crew involved.
Deadline managed to speak to the brothers in an article about their future projects like Dhaka and Cherry, and asked them about the state of filming on Avengers 4. Anthony Russo explained that the reshoots are underway and that they’ll be a part of the process for some time, but notes that the reshoots were absolutely part of their plan:
“We’ve worked on the edit all summer and we’re excited to finally get these missing pieces in the film and then we expect to be in post through the fall and winter. We hope to be done by March. It was so gratifying that in a movie with this scope and scale and that wide of an audience, that we were able to end with a gut punch and yet the audience stayed with us and found value and kept coming back. It’s a rare thing to find in commercial filmmaking and we know it had a lot to do with the the capital that’s been built up around these characters for the last ten years of Marvel filmmaking. The audience is so invested in these characters that they’re willing to stick with them even through the hard stuff. It has been out great pleasure as storytellers to take them through that hard stuff and have it be a cathartic and even entertaining experience at times.”
With a cast of over twenty-five major characters, scheduling can be a pain for Marvel Studios. The intent of the Russos is to have the film finished up by March, which is actually not that surprising a schedule if they completely wrap all filming in December.
Avengers: Infinity War is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital formats. Meanwhile, Avengers 4 will be released on May 3, 2019.
