The untitled Avengers film is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the direct sequel to 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, as well as the sequel to 2012's Marvel's The Avengers and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron and the twenty-second film installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, and features an ensemble cast that includes Robert Downey, Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Samuel L. Jackson, Evangeline Lilly, and Karen Gillan.
The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015 and by May, Markus and McFeely signed on to script the film. In July 2016, Marvel removed the film's title, referring to it simply as Untitled Avengers film. Filming began in January 2017, at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, shooting back-to-back with Avengers: Infinity War until October/November 2017. Additional filming took place in Scotland. The film is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2019, in IMAX.

Production
In October 2014, Marvel announced a two-part sequel to Age of Ultron, titled Avengers: Infinity War. Part 1 was scheduled to be released on May 4, 2018, with Part 2 scheduled for May 3, 2019.[5][19] In April 2015, Marvel announced that Anthony and Joe Russo would direct both parts of Avengers: Infinity War,[20] with back-to-back filming expected to begin in 2016.[21] Also in the month, Kevin Feige said the films would be two, distinct films "because they [have] such shared elements, it felt appropriate... to [subtitle the films] like that. But I wouldn’t call it one story that's cut in half. I would say it's going to be two distinct movies."[22] By May 2015, Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely signed on to write the screenplays for both parts of the film.[23] The following May, the Russos revealed that they would be retitling the two films, to further remove the misconception that the films were one large film split in two, with Joe stating, "The intention is we will change [the titles], we just haven’t come up with [them] yet."[24] In July 2016, Marvel removed the film's title, simply referring to it as Untitled Avengers film.[25] Anthony Russo stated that the new title for the film would not be revealed "for quite some time."[26] In October 2016, Feige noted that filming would begin in January 2017, and would last until October/November.[27]
Principal photography began on January 23, 2017,[28] at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia,[29] with Trent Opaloch as director of photography.[30] Filming is expected to last until October/November 2017.[27] Additional filming took place in Scotland, with filming taking place in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Scottish Highlands beginning in February 2017, and is expected to last six months.[31]
Music
In June 2016, Alan Silvestri, who composed the score for The Avengers, was revealed to be returning to score both Infinity War and the untitled sequel.[32]
Release
The untitled Avengers film is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2019,[5][19] in IMAX.[33]
