This Is News Now: Extras Cast In Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther
The latest superhero movie news sourced off of Hollywood job postings making the rounds on the 24 hour entertainment news cycle is the casting of multiple extras for both Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther, according to reports from various entertainment news sites. The source of the news appears to be The Atlanta Journal Constitution, as both movies are currently filming in the city. Normally, the casting of extras wouldn't really be considered news per se, but if other sites are willing to lead the charge in making that something we all report on, we are all for it. Gotta meet those quotas, yo.
So here it is. Apparently, Marvel is looking for men and women between the ages of 18 and 50, of any ethnicity, with long hair and beards, who are okay with blood, for Avengers: Infinity War. This means that either the movie will have a scene featuring the Asgardians, or The Avengers will be attending a GWAR concert in the film. There's about a 50/50 chance either way. For Black Panther, Marvel is looking for Asian men and women between 25 and 85 to play guests, card dealers, bartenders, and hostesses at an upscale party scene, which will apparently take place at a casino that is frequented only by Asian people, but Asian people from potentially dozens of countries.
The job pays $68 for eight hours of work, which is about on par with the page rate for a comic book artist.
Though both movies are filming at the same time, Avengers: Infinity War will hit theaters on May 4, 2018, while Black Panther is due out on February 16.
