Marvel to not split 'Avengers: Infinity War' into two films

LOS ANGELES: Disney has confirmed that Marvel's upcoming sci-fi action " Avengers: Infinity War," which was supposed to be in two parts, will now be a standalone film.

Disney will still release Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War" as planned on May 4, 2018. But what was slated to be the second part in that story, "Avengers: Infinity War Part II," has now been renamed as an "Untitled Avengers" project while retaining the May 3, 2019 release date, reported Deadline.

Both the films feature Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner.

Production of "Avengers: Infinity War" is expected to begin later this year. Anthony and Joe Russo are directing from a script by the writing team of Christopher Marcus and Stephen McFeely.
