The alleged plot of "Avengers: Infinity War" indicates that the upcoming movie will begin with the story arc seen in the popular comic book crossover "Infinity Gauntlet" published in 1990, Comicbook reported. The comic book depicts the events occurring after Thanos gets all the powerful Infinity Gems. Then, "Infinity Gauntlet" came out after two years later. It has its own six-issue series showing Adam Warlock. Warlock took control over the artifact and faced down an old foe named Magnus.

The Russo brothers are in the middle of filming the scenes for "Avengers: Infinity War" with Josh Brolin playing the villain Thanos. Meanwhile, "The Defenders" will begin filming at the end of this year. It is the coming together of four separate Marvel superheroes shows on Netflix, with "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" joining "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones."
