As the hype for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 calms to a slow halt, the hype train for Avengers: Infinity War continues to chug along. Following a substantially lengthy 2-month shoot in the beautiful country of Scotland (and a series of very revealing set photos from that set), some new reports are confirming that the production for next year’s Avengers: Infinity War has finally made the move to the city where Marvel was born, New York. If some of you remember, about a month or two ago, we ran a story about how the production was then seeking for extras in New York and that they would film in the city that never sleeps in May, so the set moving to New York is just about right on time. And just like they took their time filming in Scotland, it appears that the crew will do the same in New York, with an alleged 2 months of filming in the city.

So what does this mean for you MCU fans based in New York? Will you guys get to see the entire cast filming on the streets the same way they did with Doctor Strange two years ago? Probably as Atlanta-based photographer Atlanta Filming straight up hinted that most of the cast may be on location.

Them shooting in New York is such an exciting prospect as not only will the setting evoke the classic iconography of superheroes being in New York (and so many of them) but it may also see Avengers returning to the city that started it all for them to fight a threat that they have never faced. And if the events of Age of Ultron and the first Avengers film are any indication of how everything just escalates, we can expect an insane amount of fighting and destruction taking place in New York, six years after the Chitauri invasion took place or as the Netflix folks put it, The Incident. Like those set photos from the Edinburgh set in Scotland, we hope to see some exciting set photos from this.

Also its cool that the Russos love Mr. Robot.
