- The most famous, quotable line in Avengers: Infinity War wasn't actually in the script; it was completely improvised by the actor on the third take.
- Despite a very rocky opening weekend, Avengers: Infinity War went on to gross over 5x its initial budget thanks purely to incredible audience word-of-mouth.
Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The film features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, and Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos.
