Infinity War also, some way in, turns out to be not
entirely an Avengers story, but also an outing for another superhero team, whose world is governed by rather different conventions of
fictional reality and comic register: the rather spoofier sci - fi collective Guardians of the Galaxy, whose third
movie this effectively also is.
Antoniades tells me that he was inspired by the
movie Fargo for this idea, which famously opens with the message «This is a true story» despite being an
entirely fictional tale.
