AceShowbiz - Recent report said that "Avengers: Infinity War" might have some scenes set in a Hogwarts-like castle. The rumor stemmed from a photo shared by directors Anthony and Joe Russo on their Facebook account some weeks ago. In the picture, the Russo Brothers are featured standing amid bricked building resembling Hogwarts school in "Harry Potter" movie series.
The location is, in fact, Durham Cathedral in Durham, England, which was used by Warner Bros. during the production of "Harry Potter" movies. The Russo Brothers eventually deleted the image from their account, sparking speculation that the photo was supposed to be kept in secret and that they would use Durham Cathedral as one of the settings in "Avengers: Infinity War".
There hasn't been any official announcement about whether or not "Avengers: Infinity War" will be filmed in Durham Cathedral, though. Meanwhile, the movie has started filming in Atlanta since Monday, January 23. It will reportedly take place in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Scottish Highlands as well.
"Avengers: Infinity War" is set to hit U.S. theaters on May 4, 2018. In the first set footage, Marvel head Kevin Feige has confirmed that the Avengers will team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man in the movie. It has been said that the Avengers will be completely unprepared to face villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) after the events in "Captain America: Civil War".
"Avengers: Infinity War" cast members include Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista. "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage is also starring and is speculated to play MODOK, while Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise his role as Doctor Strange.
