Avengers: Infinity War teased Tony Stark calling Steve Rogers to make things right but the Black Order's attack on the Sanctum Sanctorum brought a swift end to that and it was ultimately Bruce Banner who reached out to the hero. As great as the movie was, a lot of fans walked out feeling unsatisfied that we never got to see a reunion between Iron Man and Captain America in the epic superhero ensemble.
Now, screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have shed some light on that decision, revealing that it ultimately boiled down to there simply not being enough time in the Marvel movie.
"Our first sort of wonky draft [had] the idea that they had to get back in the same room together and deal with that," McFeely said. "[But it] meant that you’re slowing down your Thanos [Infinity] Stones [quest] to deal with other threats from other movies. And that became, as much as we wanted to do, and as many times as we wrote those scenes, it became clear that this movie needed to be propulsive and be about Thanos and what he represented to the Avengers." That makes sense!
You have to believe that it will now be down to Avengers 4 to deal with this, especially as there will be fewer characters on the table for the Russos to play with. Were you disappointed that the events of Captain America: Civil War didn't play a larger role in Avengers: Infinity War? Sound off below.
