The first film will keep the title Avengers: Infinity War, but the second will not retain the Infinity War Part II moniker, stated The Hollywood Reporter.
Directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo said in May that they planned on renaming both Avengers films that they are directing.
“The two movies are two very different movies,” Joe said, with Anthony adding that the shared subtitle is misleading. “The intention is we will change it. We just haven’t come up with the [final] titles yet. But, yes, we will change it,” Joe promised. “That is a scoop: we will retitle them,” he added.
The Infinity War title comes from a classic 1992 comic book series in which the heroes of the Marvel Universe were brought together to fight sinister doppelgangers of themselves, created by a cosmic entity called the Magus, who wanted control of the Infinity Gauntlet.
Marvel Cinematic Universe viewers got a glimpse of the Gauntlet (minus Infinity Stones) at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Thanos (Josh Brolin) put on the glove and vowed, “Fine. I’ll do it myself.”
In other words, he’s done sitting around and is going to gather the Infinity Stones himself. When the Infinity Stones are placed on the Gauntlet, it grants its wearer massive powers.
The third and fourth Avengers movies were announced as the two-part Infinity War during a presentation in October 2014.
