Hasbro released a toy with the Hulk bursting out of the Hulkbuster suit. It’s been a while since any of the Asgardians have interacted with Eitri and his people." The explanation makes sense Loki took over Asgard at the end of Thor: The Dark World, and under his rule the Asgardians stopped protecting the other Realms. "I think that clearly he is the one who forged the gauntlet and Thanos had the gauntlet at that point in time. "I think that it would be connected to Eitri," he explained.
In an interview with Comic Book, Joe Russo suggested this scene is actually on Nidavellir. " We’ve all sat there and went, 'What the hell is he talking about,'" Markus added, " Where was he when he did that?"įortunately, the Russos themselves have an explanation. One particularly awkward part of the build-up to Infinity War is the post-credits scene for Avengers: Age of Ultron, where Thanos dons the Infinity Gauntlet and famously declares: " Fine, I’ll do it myself."Īsked about this at a press junket, screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus seemed unconcerned about this. When exactly did this scene take place? Does "Infinity War" cause a plot hole? No.įor all the talk of culmination, Avengers: Infinity War doesn’t pay off all that much of the prior setup. The Russos switched it for dialogue that’s a little more " characterful," but retained the line for use in the trailer. " Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe," Thanos declared in one trailer, " but this does put a smile on my face." This line was originally said by Thanos as he emerged from what the Russos call the "Reality Cloak," revealing to Gamora that he is still alive. Other moments from the trailers were actually lifted from earlier cuts of scenes that’s why some lines of dialogue have been changed. Characters like the Hulk were then added using CG. The Russos actually filmed some scenes specifically for the trailers – including the first trailer’s "money shot," with the Avengers charging towards the screen. " You have to be very smart about how you cast a trailer," Joe Russo explained, " ’cause an audience can watch a trailer and basically tell you what’s gonna happen in the film." According to the Russos, that’s entirely deliberate they view the trailers and movies as completely separate products. There’s a marked difference between the trailers for Avengers: Infinity Warand the theatrical cut.
