Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), and Chris Evans (Captain America) were in a discussion with ET regarding the movie, and that’s whey Johansson said that during the filming, she felt like she was working in three films simultaneously.
“It’s kind of like we’re three movies all at once,” Johansson said. “It’s very plot-driven and its kind of…this is a film I think that really, all of these pieces come together in a kind of complex, intricate package and that’s the purpose I think of this film, to sort of bring everything together in a coherent way, and so as that’s happening it feels sort of like there are kind of like three movies going on at once, because we meet different characters in different circumstances and this one kind of greater cause brings everyone together.”

A good bit of that is visible in the trailers which show various teams trying to achieve the common goal of beating Thanos.
Although the film has a large number of heroes, Johansson also disclosed that most of them didn’t get time to film with each other.
“We haven’t had the opportunity to work with probably 75% of the 60 or whatever people just because their characters are off in some other realm.”
Although, the movie is a giant proportionately, the one thing that the co-director Joe Russo emphasized upon was that it does n’t feel like a two-part movie sliced in the center.
“One thing that we set out from the beginning and said that we wanted to do from the beginning was that we’d been disappointed about times we’ve sat in part one of part two films, and it feels like they just took out a pair of scissors and cut the movie in half,” Russo told Fandango. “And the first film isn’t really structured in a way where there’s a beginning, middle, and an end. It feels more set up like a first act and half of a second act for the second movie.”
For now, you can watch Black Panther in theaters. Avengers: Infinity War will release on April 27th, followed by Ant-Man and The Wasp on July 6. Next year’s MCU releases include Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019, and Avengers 4 on May 3, 2019.
