Following the report that Zoe Saldana might accidentally reveal "Avengers 4" title, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" director James Gunn has made a clarification about the matter. During "Vol. 2" press junket, Gunn, who also executive produces "Avengers: Infinity War", explained that "Avengers 4" wouldn't be titled "Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet".
"It's not the title," said Gunn. "My guess is that Zoe just misspoke. I'll talk to Zoe today, but I would imagine that is just Zoe misspeaking and saying 'Infinity Gauntlet' instead of 'Infinity War'," he added.
Earlier on, during a talk with BBC at "Vol. 2" press tour, Saldana was asked about the current status of "Avengers: Infinity War", to which she answered, "We're in the middle of it, I think that the Guardians just shot their part when it comes to 'Infinity War' is, like, the first part. And we all have to go back for 'Gauntlet' later this year."
Saldana's answer sparked speculation that the title of the upcoming "Avengers 4" would be "Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet". However, Gunn's clarification seemingly debunked the rumor once and for all. Meanwhile, Marvel head Kevin Feige previously confirmed that "Avengers 4" title was kept in secret because it would reveal too much about what happened in its predecessor, "Avengers: Infinity War".
"Avengers 4" is expected to start its principal photography right after the production of "Avengers: Infinity War". As for "Infinity War", the movie is currently filming in Atlanta and Edinburgh, Scotland.
"Avengers: Infinity War" cast members include Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Karen Gillan, Josh Brolin and Dave Bautista.
