We didnt want a movie full of 25 people going from room to room, said McFeely.
We wanted threads that we could weave together and break apart.
Below, they tell Vulture how they decided to split up the Avengers.
Tony has such weight on him now that he didnt in the firstIron Man, said Markus.
He went through the portal inThe Avengersand saw the aliens.
Hes the one guy on Earth who feels in his bones that something terrible is happening.
Thats why Stark is determined to go fight the universe-threatening Thanos, while Strange adopts a more defensive posture.
Strange can take a bigger, more adult view of things, said McFeely.
Hes still wide-eyed, hes still a kid.
And we value that Tony-Peter mentor relationship thats been built up over two films.
We changed a few scenes early on because Hemsworth had just doneThor: Ragnarokand was concerned, said McFeely.
He was like, Listen, guys, Ive been in Australia and were doing crazy stuff!
Like Hemsworth, Gunn took great pains to ensure thatInfinity Warwould reflect the characters hed helped bring to life.
And so we said, If you guys feel that strongly about it, well do it your way.
Some of thats geographic, because theyre all space characters, but thats a delightful group, said McFeely.
As for the romance itself, Markus noted, Chemistry-wise, hes a robot, shes a witch.
Its one of those relationships where you wonder, Should this be working?
Added McFeely, Its also a testament to those actors.Theyre great together.
Going into it, we said, This guy has at least two daughters that we know of.
For whatever reason, he has adopted children.
And Gamoras also been a villain, noted Markus.
She spent most of her life doing terrible things.
So they cant bethatfunny, because theres a lot of I wanna kill Dad.
Thats why Cap has a beard and Widow has blond hair theyve been on the run.
There are far more pressing things than who may or may not have slept with who.
So we distilled it down to the story of Thanos and the Infinity Stones.
