Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 American superhero science-fiction drama film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

In the film, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy attempt to prevent Thanos from collecting the six all-powerful Infinity Stones as part of his quest to kill half of all life in the universe. Avengers: Infinity War held its world premiere on April 23, 2018, in Los Angeles, and was released in the United States on April 27, as part of Phase Three of the MCU.

Plot
Thanos a.k.a. The Mad Titan, is the last survivor of Planet Titan, a planet that was destroyed by over-population. Thanos is now an intergalactic tyrant devoted to preventing over-population by murdering half of the population on every planet he visits. Thanos' biggest goal is to obtain all the Infinity Stones and harness their power through the Infinity Gauntlet. If he were to succeed he'd become an omnipotent god with the power to erase half the population of the universe just by snapping his fingers. After years of hiding in the shadows and relying on minions that kept on failing (Loki, Ronan, Nebula, and Gamora), Thanos decided to go hunt for the stones himself. He first went to Xandar to get the Power Stone, decimating the Nova Corps in the process.

When Asgard was destroyed, Loki stole the Tesseract and kept it for himself while aboard Thor's spaceship which was en route to Earth for shelter. Thanos' ship intercepts the Asgardian spaceship and murders most of the Asgardians and tortured Thor to force Loki to surrender the Tesseract; during the attack, the Asgardians sent an S.O.S. that was picked up by the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hulk tried to attack Thanos but was defeated quickly. Heimdall, however, sent Hulk to Earth via the Bifrost, which was activated through dark magic, resulting in Thanos killing Heimdall. Loki gave up the Tesseract begging Thanos to spare Thor, which Thanos does but he kills Loki right in front of Thor's face after he tried to kill him. Thanos crushed the Tesseract revealing the Space Stone. With two Infinity Stones now, Thanos commanded his Black Order to go to Earth since there are two more Stones there and destroyed the Asgardian ship.

Hulk crash-landed at Doctor Strange's sanctum, transforming back into Banner., who then warned Doctor Strange of Thanos' impending arrival. Strange called Tony Stark for help and showed that he has the Time Stone which they must protect at all costs and requested to bring Vision as he had the Mind Stone. Unfortunately Vision ran off with Scarlet Witch and hasn't been seen in months. Tony told Banner that the Avengers split up during the Sokovia Accords conflict and Captain America is now a fugitive, when suddenly Thanos' minions arrive at New York looking for the Time Stone.

Iron Man and Doctor Strange fend off the invaders while Banner tries to Hulk out, however Hulk refuses to come out, forcing him to stay out of the fight. Spider-Man comes to help but ultimately Strange is captured and taken to the Black Order's ship, which both Iron Man and Spider-Man managed to sneak into. Peter is given the Iron Spider armor, so that he can survive in space while Banner decides to call Steve Rogers for help.

The Guardians of the Galaxy reach the Asgardian ship only to find nothing but rubble and corpses. They find Thor who survived the attack and bring him into their ship. Gamora fears that Thanos has finally decided to go after the Stones and tells everyone why he wants them. Thor befriends the Guardians but fears that they don't stand a chance against Thanos so they must go to Nidavellir so Thor could get a new weapon strong enough to stand up to Thanos. Rocket and Groot leaves with Thor while the rest of the Guardians go to Knowhere to warn the Collector, as they know that he has the Reality Stone. Meanwhile Spider-Man and Iron Man rescue Doctor Strange. The three form an alliance and decide to let the spaceship go back to Titan so they can confront Thanos.

Back on Earth, Vision and Wanda have become a couple. One night they are attacked by the Black Order who almost rip the Mind Stone out of Vision's forehead but they are saved by Steve Rogers, who no longer considers himself "Captain America" and his Avengers team. The Avengers fly back to the their HQ and reunite with War Machine and Banner, who explains them what's going on. Vision suggests that Wanda's powers should be able to destroy the Mind Stone so Thanos can't get it, but it will result in Vision dying which Steve refuses to let happen because, as he puts it, "We don't trade lives". Vision concludes that perhaps if the Stone could be manually disconnected from his brain he could survive the removal of it. Steve suggests they go to Wakanda as their scientists should be capable enough to do that.

Before the Guardians of the Galaxy reach Nowhere, Gamora asks Peter to promise her something: if Thanos captures her, he must kill her immediately. The group reaches the Collector's museum, but they're too late and Thanos already had the Reality Stone, which he used to effortlessly incapacitate the Guardians and capture Gamora. Gamora begs for Peter to kill her but Peter hesitates, he ultimately fires at her but the Reality Stone turns the bullets into bubbles. Thanos applauds Star-Lord for being willing to sacrifice his loved one before leaving with Gamora. Thor, Rocket, and Groot reach Nidavellir but the place was trashed by Thanos. They run into Eitri the Dwarf who explains that Thanos blackmailed the Dwarves into crafting the Infinity Gauntlet. Thor asks if they can repair the forge so that Eitri can make a new weapon, to which Eitri says it's possible but there's almost no chance unless they can reignite the star powering the forge.

Thanos knows that Gamora found the location of the Soul Stone and blackmails her by torturing Nebula. Gamora gave in and tells him that the Stone is on Planet Vormir. Thanos and Gamora leave to Vormir while Nebula escapes and contacts the Guardians of the Galaxy. On planet Vormir, Red Skull appears, he was made into the Soul Stone's guardian after he touched the Tesseract during WWII. The Soul Stone is on the planet but it can only be obtained by sacrificing one's most loved person. Gamora taunts Thanos that he has no one to sacrifice, but Thanos takes Gamora's hand and tears up before throwing his adoptive daughter to her death, earning him the Soul Stone.

Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Spider-man all arrive on planet Titan and quickly run into the Guardians of the Galaxy. After a quick misunderstanding everyone agrees to cooperate in order to rescue Gamora and keep Thanos away from the Time Stone. Back on Earth, the Avengers reach Wakanda and reunite with T'Challa and Bucky who is now completely cured from his brainwashing and known as the White Wolf. Shuri concludes that she indeed can remove the Mind Stone without killing Vision but it'll take a long time and Thanos' army will arrive any moment. Back on Titan, Doctor Strange uses the Time Stone to look into the future to check how the fight against Thanos could end. He sees over 14 million different scenarios, of which they only win one of them.

Thanos arrives on Titan and has a brief talk with Doctor Strange about how Titan was destroyed by over-population and how his real goal is to save the universe from suffering the same fate as his species. Everyone fights against Thanos at once, Nebula joins the fight as well. The heroes pin down Thanos, put him under Mantis' control, and almost get the Infinity Gauntlet off his hand, but when Mantis discovers that Thanos killed Gamora, Star-Lord snaps and angrily attacks Thanos, causing Mantis to lose her control over the Mad Titan. On Earth, Thanos' forces arrive and begin a big fight with the Wakanda army, Black Panther and the Avengers. Since Banner can't Hulk out he uses the Hulkbuster during the fight. Thor and Rocket manage to repair the forge, Thor almost dies in the process but Eitri finished Thor's new weapon, StormBreaker, with Groot's help. StormBreaker revitalized Thor and he used it to summon the Bifrost and warp everyone back to Earth.

With Thanos released from Mantis' control he overpowers the heroes. Iron Man has a brutal fight with the Mad Titan and is closer than everyone else from defeating him but Thanos mortally stab Tony, saying that Iron Man has earned his respect. Doctor Strange stops Thanos and offers him the Time Stone in exchange of sparing Tony's life, which Thanos agrees to. He takes the stone and leaves Titan. Tony is baffled at Strange's decision but Strange says "Now we're entering the End game". Thanos' forces get closer and closer to Vision, forcing him to join the fight before Shuri could remove the Stone, at the same time Thor, Rocket, and Groot arrive at Wakanda and with their help the Avengers cripple the Dark Order and most of the army.

However Thanos finally reaches Wakanda as well. Vision sensed this and pleaded to Wanda to kill him and destroy the Mind Stone. Thanos makes his way to Vision. All of the heroes in Wakanda all make a last ditch attempt to stop the Mad Titan but he defeats all of them one by one. Wanda reluctantly destroys the Stone while keeping Thanos away. Thanos applauds her sacrifice but then uses the Time Stone to undo the Mind Stone's destruction and adds it to the Gauntlet. Now he finally obtained all the Infinity Stones. At the very last second Thor stabs Thanos' heart with StormBreaker, but then Thanos simply taunts "You should've gone for the head!" and snaps his fingers. Thanos is transported to the Soul Stone dimension where he sees a vision of Gamora. She asks "What did it cost you?", and he answers, "everything."

Back in reality the Infinity Stones all look drained of their power and the Infinity Glove is damaged. Thanos warps away and people begin to turn into dust and fade away, including many of the heroes. On Titan, everyone except Iron Man and Nebula fade away. Before Doctor Strange disappears from existence into dust he tells Tony "There was no other way...". Peter Parker has a heartfelt moment with Tony and breaks into tears ("I don't wanna go...") before disappearing as well. Nebula fears that Thanos has won; among the iconic heroes, everyone dies except for the original six, Rhodey, Rocket, Ant-Man, and Nebula.

A tired and injured Thanos arrives at a peaceful planet and sits down to calmly watch the sunrise as he reflects on his victory.

In the post-credits scene, Nick Fury and Maria Hill watch as countless people disappear from existence, including themselves, plus a helicopter crashes into a building and a car collides with Fury's (the pilots of both aforementioned vehicles died). Before Fury disappears, he manages to take out a beeper and send a distress call. Fury disappears from existence, but the beeper says "Message Sent" and shows Captain Marvel's emblem.

Why They Collect Infinity Stones

 * 1) Its the ultimate culmination of everything that has happened in all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, all coming together to this one movie, which properly rewards the viewer for having watched all the other movies.
 * 2) The film included almost every single one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Superheroes so far, except for Ant-Man, the Wasp, Valkyrie, Hawkeye, and the heroes that only appear in the TV shows. The movie manages to properly balance the screen-time every hero gets without coming off as over-bloated runtime by having the heroes separated into different groups throughout the movie.
 * 3) Phenomenal fight scenes. They're high speed, high stakes, action-packed, and make clever usage of all the individual characters' unique abilities.
 * 4) Excellent special effects, for the most part.
 * 5) * Thanos was explicitly designed for this film to be the most realistic, physics-abiding CG creation in MCU history and it shows. His movements have genuine weight to them and as shown in close-ups, the little details come out — his arteries pulse slightly over the exposed muscles in his arms, and his purple skin is even slightly marred with scars, freckles, and age spots!
 * 6) *On the scenery side, there's plenty of beautiful shots in the movie, but the Forge of Nidavellir stands out, especially when Thor and Rocket restart the Forge and by spinning the gigantic wheels around the Forge itself. The scenes where the star turns bright again and where Thor opens the focusing lens of the forge are just stunning to watch.
 * 7) *The victims of Thanos's fingersnap disintegrating into ash looks stunning and the ash seamlessly interacts with the environment and the actors very well. For how prevalent the meme is, none of the variants have managed to replicate the original effect.
 * 8) Incredible soundtrack, composed by Alan Silvestri, who returns to composed the score.
 * 9) * The Avengers' title theme carries the grandeur of the first Avengers title card theme, only with bigger and grander trumpets accompanying the horns and cymbals to signify the skyrocketing stakes Thanos brings and set the stage for the film.
 * 10) *"Travel Delays", which is played at the very beginning and, together with the distress signal, substitutes the fanfare that is normally played over Marvel Studios' Vanity Plate, and continues to play over Ebony Maw's preaching of Thanos. The ominous sounds set the tone for the whole movie and immediately lets you know that it will be different.
 * 11) *"Undying Fidelity", which plays at the opening scene of the movie. It starts out ominous and unsettling as Thanos obtains the Stone, and gets heartbreaking the moment Thanos kills Loki.
 * 12) *The song that introduces the Guardians of the Galaxy is the Spinners' "Rubberband Man". It's a perfect mix that encapsulates the carefree attitude of the crew and is a worthy inclusion for their continuing Awesome Mix playlist.
 * 13) *"Help Arrives" is a truly fantastic rendition of the Avengers theme that plays when Steve, Natasha and Sam arrive to rescue Wanda and Vision from the Black Order ambush in Scotland. The scene itself uses Mickey Mousing to great dramatic effect, syncing the musical beats with the heroes emerging out of the shadows.
 * 14) *Hearing the triumphant theme from Black Panther when the heroes arrive at Wakanda perfectly captures the feeling of hope and safety that we saw T'Challa strive for in his solo outing. The audience knows how grand Wakanda is and hearing Marvel Studios reuse a memorable theme works well.
 * 15) *The score that plays when Thanos sacrifices Gamora for the Soul Stone, titled Even For You, is slow, somber music that starts picking up once Gamora realizes what Thanos is about to do, then reaches into heart-wrenching strings that build up to a grandiose and terrifying, but tragic climax. Cue Manly Tears from both you and Thanos.
 * 16) *While Doctor Strange is battling Thanos, he turns himself into dozens of duplicates. At this moment, a cue from Michael Giacchino's score from his solo film plays in Silvestri's track A Lot to Figure Out (Extended). Its spine-tingling.
 * 17) *"Charge!", which plays when Black Panther leads the charge against the Outriders, complete with him and Captain America displaying their Super Soldier speed before literally jumping into the battlefield. "Awesome" is an understatement in this case.
 * 18) *"Forge" which plays when Thor takes the power of a dying star, and recreates Stormbreaker, all set to an epic theme, reaching its climax as Thor arrives in Wakanda in a Triumphant Reprise of the crescendo from the first film's "Assemble", which was a pretty fucking triumphant track to begin with. The scene before that (reigniting the dying star) is set to "More Power", which is a decent and fun piece of music, with some Guardians cues, but special credit goes to the brief moment when the star actually reignites, which is accompanied by a short, beautiful cue, especially powerful after the frantic action music up to that point.
 * 19) *"Get That Arm", the two-ish minutes of score that plays immediately before "I Feel You". There's a beginning of battle music that gives way to silence as those on Earth assemble around the Vision, which is suddenly interrupted as a bluish cloud forms. Thanos steps onto Earth, and just stands there. The music becomes even lower as Thanos begins stomping heroes left and right without even exerting himself.
 * 20) *"I Feel You", Playing The Heartstrings at its finest, perfectly captures the emotion of Vision's Heroic Sacrifice at a tearful Wanda's hands, all while the remaining Avengers Hold the Line to stop Thanos.
 * 21) *The awesome and soul-crushing lack of music during the Snapture. Slowly, we see each of the heroes we've come to know and love dissolve into nothing or helplessly watch it happen to their loved ones, all in dead silence.
 * 22) *"Porch", the last soundtrack before the credits. A bittersweet track that captures both the loss that the audience just witnessed and Thanos's solemn satisfaction at having accomplished his goal at the cost of losing everything as he watches the sunset.
 * 23) *The tragic titular "Infinity War" plays over the closing credits, hammering home how soundly defeated our heroes are and the sadness thereof. And then, there's the title being shown disintegrating to ashes as a lone piano plays a slower, somber rendition of the normally heroic main theme, serving as a cruel final reminder of this soul-crushing loss.
 * 24) Lots of well-written drama involving lots of different characters, such as Thanos being pitted up against Iron Man, Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange and soon Mantis. This moment also makes clever use of the unique abilities from characters, as explained in WTCIS #3.
 * 25) Amazing pacing that's not too fast and not too slow. Everything flows perfectly being at 149 minutes without getting boring.
 * 26) It addresses some of the largest criticisms that MCU movies keep getting:
 * 27) Formulaic plots: It follows a very different structure from other Marvel movies as the plot follows the different hero groups while the narrative is driven by Thanos' actions to get the Infinity Stones by exploring the universe.
 * 28) Forgettable villains: Thanos is a very threatening villain, one of the few truly fantastic villains in the MCU and debatably the best of them. His goal actually makes sense (he wants to get all six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all living creatures in the universe due to overpopulation and lack of resources by snapping his finger on the Infinity Gauntlet) and, despite not being very likable, he isn't completely despicable either.
 * 29) *In addition to Thanos, the Black Order are creepy and threatening side villains, despite being painfully underutilized.
 * 30) No stakes for heroes: Thanos' menacing presence makes it genuinely hard to know if the heroes will win or not and there are several who die and don't return in Endgame (2018 Loki, 2018 Gamora, Vision).
 * 31) Spectacular acting by every single actor and actress in the film, especially Josh Brolin as Thanos.
 * 32) Like many of the other films, this one manages to perfectly blend together drama and character moments with comedy.
 * 33) The film perfectly celebrated the 10 year anniversary for the MCU. (The Marvel Studios logo says MARVEL STUD10S)
 * 34) Very suspenseful moments where it seems like very important characters are about to die... and half of them actually die.
 * 35) *Spider-Man's death is one of the more dramatic and emotional moments in the MCU and one of the most iconic scenes in the entire movie. In fact, it is so good that it becomes the internet online, like memes.
 * 36) The ending is fantastic. It's emotional, shocking and has an intense unexpected cliffhanger that actually works.
 * 37)  Thanos wins.  While there have been other villains that were partially successful in their schemes before such as Killmonger from Black Panther, Thanos is one of the first villain who outright defeats the heroes by snapping his finger on the Infinity Glove... for half of them, and then he just sit down to do calmly.
 * 38) The post-credits scene where Nick Fury calls someone is an excellent tease for mh:awfulmovies:Captain Marvel and her solo film in 2019, although it ends up being disappointment and weaker.
 * 39) Awesome sound effects.
 * 40) *A theme music power-up is utilized fist-pumpingly well when Steve and friends enter the movie to save Wanda and Vision. As Steve strides out of shadow, the Avengers theme starts playing.
 * 41) *The Jabari Tribe's signature chant from Black Panther can be heard when T'Challa's party arrives at the battlefield, M'Baku pumping up his men (and the audience) for the imminent war. Later, when the Wakandans are on the verge of triumphing over Thanos' army, M'Baku begins leading the Jabari in another round of their chant.
 * 42) *T'Challa also leads the entire army in a war chant of "Yibambe" note before charging into battle.
 * 43) *Likewise, the long-awaited arrival of Thor, Rocket, and Groot is set to the Avengers theme.
 * 44) *In a movie that's dark and ominous almost the whole way through, the cheerful '70s bounce of "The Rubberband Man" by The Spinners as the Guardians make their first appearance fits this bill.
 * 45) It is arguably one of the darkest superhero movies to date, yet it doesn't forget to have humor and positivity that doesn't feel forced to do right unlike many previous superhero movies that tried too hard to be dark & gritty.
 * 46) Peter Dinklage has a cool cameo as Eitri, the dwarf who forges Thor's new hammer, Stormbreaker.
 * 47) Awesome and gorgeous cinematography for MCU films.
 * 48) There are amazing filming locations.
 * 49) There's a very strong theme throughout the movie: "Is it worth sacrificing lives for the greater good? And if so, how many lives are you willing to sacrifice?"
 * 50) Hilarious moments where Tony makes a Squidward joke at the beginning and where Star-Lord flips the bird.
 * 51) The Russo Brothers' directing is excellent, for the most part.
 * 52) Red Skull makes his first reappearance since Captain America: The First Avenger, aside of the performance, which Hugo Weaving does not returned and instead was replaced with the new one.
 * 53) Many memorable dialogues, like:
 * 54) * "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be."
 * 55) * "''Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. Legs turn to jelly, the end is near. Or you should say: I am."
 * 56) * "Does this chattering animal speak for you?"
 * 57) ** Doctor Strange: "Certainly not, I speak myself."
 * 58) ** Iron Man: "He means get lost, Squidward!"
 * 59) * "Where is Gamora?"
 * 60) ** Iron Man: "I'll do you one better: Who is Gamora?"
 * 61) ** Drax: "I'll do you one better: Why is Gamora?"
 * 62) * "I'm not from Earth, I'm from the Missouri."
 * 63) ** "Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit."
 * 64) * " BRING ME THANOS!"
 * 65) * "You... should have... You should have gone for the head!"
 * 66) The cast thanked the fans for the support for over 10 years.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Because of the huge cast, some of the characters don't get to shine as well as they could. This is especially the case with Spider-Man, Captain America and Black Widow, with the former serving more as a comic relief than an actual major character like Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, Peter Quill, Gamora, Thor, Wanda Maximoff, Vision and even Thanos (Because they're the ones who have an impact in the story). While this also happened in Captain America: Civil War, it worked there because it was his first MCU appearence, while here, though understandable because of the huge list of characters, it can feel very off here for major Spider-Man fans who expected him to have a significant role, especially after Spider-Man: Homecoming.
 * 2) *Captain America's and Black Widow's relatively small screentime also feels very off, considering they were the main protagonists, alongside Stark, Thor, Hulk and Hawkeye in first two movies (speaking of which, Barton's absence is also a bif off for the same reason). Thankfully, that was fixed in Endgame.
 * 3) The Black Order were painfully underutilized in the movie. Plus, one of the members from the comics, Supergiant, wasn't even in the movie.
 * 4) While the visual effects are great, some of them can be outdated and obnoxious like Banner's floating head in the Hulkbuster.
 * 5) There are some logical errors in the film here and there, like why its daytime in New York City when Nick Fury disintegrates if its daytime in Wakanda also.
 * 6) False advertising: Despite the Hulk being majorly featured in many of the posters and trailers (especially in that epic last shot from the teaser trailer, which also wasn't in the movie), he only appears in the opening scene as through the rest of the movie Banner is unable to summon it.
 * 7) *It was later confirmed in the deleted scene that Hulk would've had an arc where he became Professor Hulk during the third act of the movie, but it was scrapped in favor of a separate movie, while Professor Hulk was introduced in the sequel.
 * 8) Much of the impact that the ending had when it first came out is ruined by the fact that a number of characters that were wiped out by Thanos' snap (in particular, Spider-Man) were going to be the main characters of Marvel Studios projects that were already announced before the film's release, thus making the Snap being undone a foregone conclusion.

Reception
Avengers: Infinity War received positive reviews from critics as well as universal acclaim from audiences with praise for Brolin's performance, musical score, visual effects, action sequences, and emotional weight, but the film was criticized for relying on previous MCU films for its story from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes. The film has a both certified fresh for 85% critic rating and 91% audience rating. The website's critical consensus reads, "Avengers: Infinity War ably juggles a dizzying array of MCU heroes in the fight against their gravest threat yet, and the result is a thrilling, emotionally resonant blockbuster that (mostly) realizes its gargantuan ambitions.". It has an overall 8.4/10 rating on IMDb. It has an overall rating of 4.0/5 on Letterboxd. On Metacritic, the film holds a calculated score of 68 out of 100 based on 54 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews." The audience score is 8.7 out of 10 based on 4,331 ratings, indicating "universal acclaim."

Critics and audiences praised the movie for how it balanced such a large amount of characters from multiple movies, the portrayal of the villain Thanos, the intensity of action scenes, and the surprisingly dark ending which is completely unexpected for a Marvel movie. Some people would even call it the best MCU film yet.

The movie has broken multiple box office records, including #1 movie opening of all time, and becoming the fourth film to ever cross the $2 billion mark, plus it is the first comic book/superhero property and summer-released film to do so.

Trivia

 * Tom Holland was not allowed to read the script for this movie, since he revealed too many secrets for Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). In one of the promotional videos for the movie, several of its cast members are in an interrogation room refusing to reveal any spoilers, and Holland's mouth is conspicuously taped shut.
 * At the time of release, this was the second most expensive movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the second most expensive superhero movie of all time. Only Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) had a higher budget.
 * It was originally planned to be split into two parts when it was announced, but in July 2016, that plan was announced to be scrapped, but ended up being executed (apart from the names) as Avengers: Endgame was announced in December of 2018, when the trailer was released.
 * An early draft of the film had Steve Rogers first appearing at the end of the film to save Vision from Corvus Glaive in Wakanda. Markus and McFeely were called "insane" for waiting that long to introduce Rogers into the film and ultimately conceded it was "not a satisfying" approach.
 * Jon Favreau was to reprise his role as Happy Hogan, while co-director Joe Russo had a cameo appearance as a paparazzi photographer, but this scene did not make the theatrical cut of the film. This appearance can be found in the deleted scenes.
 * Locations it was shot in include Iceland, Philippines (specifically in the province of Ifugao), Scotland, and Brazil (specifically in the state of Maranhão).
 * In the French dub, Tony refers to Ebony Maw as Voldemort, the villain of the Harry Potter franchise.
