Guess How Much AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR May Cost Disney And Marvel Studios?
It's expected for Marvel and Disney to go all-out for the two-part Infinity War that will be the "end of the team as we know it," but now may know roughly how much cash the studios are dishing out to bring the Avengers vs Thanos showdown to the big-screen. Check it out!
According to Bleeding Cool, who learned the following "in huddled conversations with very well sourced comic book film insiders in New York bars last night," Avengers: Infinity War - Part I and Part II will have a "combined production budget of one billion dollars." Crazy right? Apparently four hundred million dollars of that billion alone will go to the screenwriters, directors, producers and principal cast members. Oh, also Robert Downey Jr. apparently gets "half of the actor budget."
What makes matters even more insane is that there is no script yet completed nor is there a finalized plot, despite screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely signing on back in May after completing Captain America: Civil War. Of course, we know the premise of Infinity War involves Thanos gathering the six infinity stones and the Avengers intervening. Anyhow, take all of what's being reported above with a grain of salt until confirmed. But if true, what do YOU think?
