Marvel's two Avengers: Infinity War movies will be getting brand new titles before they come to cinemas in 2018 and 2019 respectively

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have confirmed that they're working on new names because calling the Marvel movies Part 1 and Part 2 of an Infinity War saga is "misleading".

"The movies are two very different movies," Joe told Uproxx.

The filmmaker went on to say: "The intention is we will change it, we just haven't come up with the titles yet.

"But, yes, we will change it. And, yes, that is a scoop: we will re-title them."

The team behind the Avengers' next big-screen reunion also opened up about the progress of the movie with Digital Spy - which you can see in the video below:

Little is known about the soon-to-be-retitled Avengers: Infinity War movies other than that they will likely feature cosmic warlord Thanos as a main villain.

Thanos has lingered in the background of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years - deviously collecting Infinity Stones that could help him conquer the galaxy.

Robert Downey, Jr is expected to reprise his role as Iron Man, alongside Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Chris Hemsworth's Thor and other heroes.

The next two Avengers movies will be released on May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019.
