>Production Designer Charles Wood talked with Comicbook.com about his work on Doctor Strange and designing everything from the Sanctum Sanctorum to a trippy ride through other dimensions and a New York City that can bend and twist at the will of the powerful sorcerers in the film. But he also gave us a hint about what had him excited about tackling Avengers: Infinity War, his fifth with the company.
>"Any time you turn that page on this script, you're kind of staggered, blown away, terrified by what's in front of you," Wood said of Infinity War. That terror comes from what he and his team have to make real, the environments for these characters to explore and live within. And those environments will be expanding far beyond Earth, Wood revealed.
>"I think rather like Doctor Strange, you’ll find this film, it’s not regurgatative, yeah? What I’m trying to say, is, there are many, many, many new worlds to see in this film," the production designer told Comicbook.
What worlds do you expect/want to see, Sup Forums?
boy oh boy am i excited for the newest entry in the "derivative predictable redundant movie-by-committee corporate trash" series
Brandon Campbell
WE ABSTRACTS NOW BOIIIIIIIIII
Dylan Gomez
Predict it them faggot, that I will screemcap it.
Wyatt Wilson
yawn
0 hype
Jackson Nguyen
Other worlds? That's odd, given the current placement of the Infinity stones I figured we'd mostly be revisiting old ones. It's not like Thanos has to visit the nexus of realities.

Cool, so dr strange is a pilot for infinity war

WATCH PART 2 FOR THANOS!
Connor Brooks
Such is a shared universe. Wish they did it with Thor 2.
Isaac Moore
And to add insult to injury... >another billion box office
Aiden Johnson
Your tears are delicious.
Nicholas Harris
>we should reward companies for bad products Why would you worship a company like you're in a cult? Won't they just cut more and more corners if they see the same profits?
Hunter James
Thor 2 would have been fine if they had cut all the earth shit
Colton Foster
user, Marvel IS a cult. The Scientology of comics, so to say.
Jonathan Phillips
If Marvel is Scientology then DC is Mormonism
Jason Morales
>DC doesn't believe in fake progressiveness Nice.
Gabriel Parker
Thor is horrible Thor 2 is even worst, I really hope they don't fuck the 3 and give us Planet Hulk with a few of Thor instead
Mason Bailey
>Thanos doesn't come Lewd.
Brody Nelson
>tfw still haven't seen Thor 2 Yes I've heard it blows donkey dicks, but I still want to know what's going on with the stone that was in the movie. I'm sure it'll be important later. R-right?
Brody Miller
>>"I think rather like Doctor Strange, you’ll find this film, it’s not regurgatative, yeah? hahahahahahaha
Caleb Mitchell
There's an infinity stone and it winds up with the Collector from GOTG Also Loki took Odin's identity
That's pretty much it
Adrian Long
How else do you expect them to go see a garbage movie with fucking hemsworth? They can't make a hulk movie, but they can still use him as a means of getting people to still go see something they know hemsworth can't sell.
Christopher Baker
Pinky ring looks like his eye.
Colton Morales
>"I think rather like Doctor Strange, you’ll find this film, it’s not regurgatative, yeah?" But Dr. Strange was regurgitative of the MCU formula to a T.
Charles Miller
Audiences and critics disagree.
Owen Thompson
>many new world's Battleworld confirmed?
Dominic Jenkins
Yes I remember when Tony Stark had a century long conversation with an multidimensional being.
Isaac Reed
Audiences and critics also seem to think the Thor movies were good.
Benjamin Carter
That's not what the MCU formula is.
Whoa. You mean the same people who rave about the Transformers films? Or Age of Ultron? Damn. I just got BTFOd.
Adam Evans
>century long conversation lol it was a few hours.
Eli Myers
They were alright. Not as good as the rest but about on par with Iron Man 2.
So not great, just good.
Xavier Perry
lol it wasn't established.
Zachary Davis
I guess they'll be jumping planets to get an army to battle Thanos. I'm doubtful most of the planet hopping would be for gems because we've seen Xandar, Knowhere, and Asgard where three of the gems are.
William Miller
Go back to Sup Forums
Jeremiah Evans
I think Xandar and Knowhere will take place off screen
Jeremiah Lee
I just wonder what their budget is going to be.
You have many actors that need to be paid You're shooting for nearly a year and places around the world You need to pay for the crews of the movies You're also filming other movies at the same time Then there's going to be the massive marketing campaign on a worldwide scale, the likes of which we probably haven't seen before.
They don't have an unlimited amount of money to work with, even if it is disney, I wonder if they're going to cheap out on a few things?
Why? What are you going to fill the rest of the film with when he just gets two stones instantly?
What should happen is that the heroes, Avengers, Guardians, etc break up and go after the five gems, allowing for smaller groups bouncing off each other and fighting off a Thanos opponent on the way. It would be similar to the end of Return of the Jedi, or Lord of the Rings, where you can have separate stories going on but they climax at the same time. It would allow the Avengers to step into different places and gets the plot moving like a treasure hunt film.
Why would Thanos just collect two of the major gems off screen? That leaves Vision, Asgard, Dr. Strange's place and whatever the Soul Stone is. Wouldn't it make more sense to have more sequences hunting down the gems to fill out two movies worth of story?
Ian Johnson
SUCH A LUST FOR SHEKELS
Dylan Smith
>>Thanos doesn't come Orgasm denial?
Hunter Baker
I love how when people criticism Marvel movies or defend DC movies the Mouseketeers always accuse them of of being Sup Forums posters.
When it's really fucking obvious that the Mouseketeers themselves don't read comics, because if they did they'd have a problem with the current state of Marvel comics, as pretty much anyone who reads comics will agree that the oversaturation of bad Marvel events, and the down-playing of Marvel characters because they don't have movie rights is a cancer in the current state of Marvel comics.
Lincoln Clark
Because not everyone thinks these movies are bad product. No comic book movie will ever be on the level of say, a Fear And Loathing or Pulp Fiction, or even Inception. These things aren't about groundbreaking concepts, they are about making live action films that are reliably entertaining. I mean, look at Civil War compared to Age of Apocalypse, BvS, or any of the transformers flicks.
Isaac Rogers
Will we even get anything like this in Infinity War?
Carter Ross
If you don't like these movies, why post in this thread or watch them?
Carson Nelson
Death won't let him.
Hudson Gonzalez
>muh Inception
You're not discouraging them from their pretentious film school way of looking at the world when you do that shit.
