Avengers: Infinity War to Shoot Back to Back in 2016

Chris Evans, everyone's favorite Captain America, is busy promoting this weekend's Avengers: Age of Ultronand then hopping into his own standalone film, Captain America: Civil War.

He caught up with Esquire about his Marvel plans and revealed a few details about when Avengers Infinity War Parts 1 & 2, the two-part third installment in the Avengersseries, will start shooting.

Here's an excerpt from the interview:

You know, you plan around the Marvel responsibilities. You have to. We start [Captain America: Civil War] in a couple weeks, and then that shoots until August or something like that. August or September. Then I’ve got some downtime and I can do with it as I please. I don’t know if I want to take time off or go pursue another directing job or find a movie to act in or, you know, do whatever I’m creatively inclined to pursue or wait, relax, enjoy my life. And then we start the Infinity War, I think, some time in the third quarter. Fall or winter of 2016. That’s going to be like nine months to shoot both movies back to back.

It looks like Evans is going to have a very busy schedule for the next two years. Avengers: Infinity Warwill be directed by the Russo Bros. Part 1 will be released on May 4, 2018, with Part 2 scheduled for May 3, 2019.
