Marvel Studios revealed a teaser featurette from the first day of production on set, last month, with Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord).
“Avengers: Infinity War” will hit theaters May 4, 2018, with the second part following on May 3, 2019. Hold onto your hats, True Believers, because Phase 3 of the Cinematic Universe is going to be one wild ride! Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the latest on the Avengers and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it develops!
"What we always try to do at Marvel Studios is we're building a cinematic universe," producerKevin Feigeexplains in the clip. "Is look at the big picture, how can thing relate across movies and across years.Avengers: Infininity Waris the culmination of the entire Marvel cinematic universe, as started in May 2008, with the release ofIron Manone.
"And it really is an unprecedented culmination of a series of films, interlinked together. Which, at the time had never been done before. And for us the important thing is making it all come together. We know they're going to face Thanos. We've been setting that up since Avengers one. How do you do that in a way that is unexpected, that pits the Avengers against someone who's more powerful than anyone they've faced ... and yet make them completely unprepared to face him? Well, tear them apart. Which is why we did Civil War before Infinity War."
Bryson Tilleris well on his way to becoming a superstar. His hit single "Exchange" is nominated forBest R&B Songat this year'sGrammy Awards. But his former manager is crying foul, saying Tiller wouldn't have gotten there without his help. He's filed a lawsuit against the singer's current reps.
TMZ reports that Steven J. Dorn claims he kept Tiller afloat prior to the fame by paying his child support, living expenses, studio time and car payments. Tiller allegedly agreed to reimburse Dorn once his career took off and split future revenue 50/50.
In court documents Dorn claims that never happened because he was unceremoniously fired by Tiller's current management team in 2015.
Dorn believes there is a conspiracy to cut him out of the picture, so he's taking Tiller's reps to court.

Troy Aveappeared in Manhattan Criminal Courton Friday, February 10, for a pre-trial hearing regarding the attempted murder charge he received following his arrest last year for allegedly being involved in a shooting that took place at Irving Plaza in New York City.
Ronald McPhatter was killed and three people were injured, including Troy when shots rang out backstage on May 25, 2016, during a T.I. concert.
The Brooklyn, New York native and BSB Records CEO, showed up in court wearing a floor-length fur coat and bullet proof vest.
He received good news when prosecutors agreed to drop the travel restrictions that were one of the conditions of his $500,000 bail agreement.
Troy, born Roland Collins, can now resume performing and promoting his music at various venues across the country.
“He has a couple of tour dates lined up,” his lawyer John Stella told theNew York Daily News. “They'll start announcing them as early as (Saturday). He’s got an event in North Carolina that's coming together. He's very happy."
Troy is still recovering after being shot again on December 25, 2016, while he was driving in Brooklyn.
"I still get headaches sometimes because there's still a bullet in my head so it'll be throbbing," he said. "I got a bullet in my back so it's hard to sleep. My son likes to pretend he's Batman I'm still trying to get through the pain but It's better than being dead."
Taxstone, born Daryl Campbell, the host of the "Tax Season" podcast, was arrested Monday, January 16, by U.S. Marshals New York, New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and NYPD in Brooklyn.
Prosecutors allege that he was also involved in the Irving Plaza shooting, citing his Troy's and McPhatter's DNA being on the9-millimeter Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun used that night. But because Tax's was allegedlyon the trigger, hand grip and magazine of the weapon, prosecutors believe it belonged to him. He's currently being held without bail.
As we previously reported, beef between Troy and Taxstone has been simmering for several years.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The legal fight over President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations is on hold after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban, allowing previously barred travelers to continue coming to the United States.
In a rebuke to the Trump administration Thursday, the three federal appellate judges sided with the states of Washington and Minnesota on nearly every matter, rejecting nearly all of the administration's arguments in favor of reinstating the ban, meaning the case could now shift to the U.S. Supreme Court.
They judges also did not shy away from the larger constitutional questions raised by the order, rejecting the administration's claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges.
.@CNN is reporting that at least one of the appeals court judges hearing Trump's travel ban case has needed extra security due to threats.
In a tweet Friday, Trump called the decision disgraceful. Trump quoted an article by Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of the Lawfare blog. It reads, "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." Trump tweeted, "A disgraceful decision!"
Moments after the ruling Thursday, Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT," adding that "THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!
But it is unclear what Trump's next move will be. The Justice Department said it is reviewing the decision and considering its options. It was the first day on the job for new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The lower court action so far is temporary and hasn't resolved broader questions about the legality of Trump's order. While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the U.S.
The appellate judges noted compelling public interests on both sides.
"On the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And on the other, the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination."
The administration could appeal the ruling to a larger 9th Circuit panel or bypass that step and go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. That could put the decision over whether to keep the temporary restraining order suspending the ban in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy. Trump's nominee, Neil Gorsuch, cannot be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban, which would expire in 90 days unless it is changed.
The ban also faces dozens of other lawsuits, some filed by would-be refugees directly affected by it.
Trump's lawyers made a tactical blunder in giving no reasons for his travel ban & insisting judges have no power to review it
Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, said two footnotes near the end of the opinion struck him as most significant because they challenged the government's assertion that national security was at stake. Without evidence of the threat migrants would pose to security, the court couldn't balance that assertion against harm they would suffer if not allowed to enter the country.
"It's not enough for the president to simply proclaim that the executive order is necessary to protect national security," Vladeck said, paraphrasing the ruling. "He needs to give us at least some basis for agreeing with him."
The 9th Circuit judges rejected the administration's argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president's immigration and national security decisions. They said the administration failed to show that the order met constitutional requirements to provide notice or a hearing before restricting travel. And they said the administration presented no evidence that any foreigner from the seven countries was responsible for a terrorist attack in the U.S.
"Despite the district court's and our own repeated invitations to explain the urgent need for the Executive Order to be placed immediately into effect, the Government submitted no evidence to rebut the States' argument that the district court's order merely returned the nation temporarily to the position it has occupied for many previous years," the panel wrote.
Judges refuse to reimpose travel ban… Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz gives his take https://t.co/LNcY70KjYQ
Last week, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation's refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.
Asked to respond to Trump's tweet, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said, "We have seen him in court twice and we're two for two, that's number one. And in my view, the future of the constitution is at stake."
Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 9th Circuit after Robart's ruling, arguing that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.
The states said Trump's travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities. Citing Trump's campaign promise to stop Muslims from entering the U.S., they said the ban unconstitutionally blocked entry to people based on religion.
The appeals court sided with the administration on just one issue. The states had argued that 9th Circuit precedent prohibits review of temporary restraining orders. The panel said that the intense public interest and uncertainty over how long the court case might take made it appropriate for the court to consider the federal government's appeal.
Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the ruling was thoughtful and supported by a great deal of legal precedent. More important, though, it was unanimous even though the panel included judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
"It's a very important message that judges are not just politicians in robes and not just political hacks," Levinson said.
After the ban was put on hold, the State Department quickly said people from the seven countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — with valid visas could travel to the U.S.
