Avenger fans who want to see all the superheroes again after "Captain America: Civil War," can do so in the upcoming, "Avengers: Infinity War." While reports claimed that the new installment of Avengers will be crowded by superheroes, there have been new reports that suggest it will not include the Marvel heroes from small screens.

"Avengers: Infinity War" is reportedly going to include as many as 68 Marvel characters. Since the number is rather big, it leads many to believe that small screen heroes will join the Infinity war.

"We have to tell a story and that story has to be built around the characters' emotional arcs," Joe Russo said. "And we can only have so many of those."

However, as reported previously, the upcoming movie will not literally include the 68 characters. "We had our office filled with cards of everybody who was alive and available, and the brothers came in and went, 'Whoa.' So that doesn't mean that everyone is, you know, there's not going to be 67 lead parts," Stephen McFeely, "Avengers: Infinity War" writer told Huffington Post.

For all the fans that are hoping to see their favorite TV Marvel character on big screens, you will be disappointed as most of them will not make it to the big screen.

Joe Russo said that the Marvel Universe has too many characters that have still not been introduced yet and "Avengers: Infinity War" is a platform for them. He also explained that it will be difficult to elaborate on each story arc so they will focus on the ones that are already existent on the big screen.

"We have a tough task just telling the stories of the characters who exist [on the big screen] in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, let alone thinking about adding the entire Marvel Television universe," Russo said. "Anything is possible in Marvel. It's certainly something we're considering. But our focus is on telling the stories of the characters that currently exist on the movie side."

"Avengers: Infinity War Part 1" will premiere on May 4, 2018.
