The films' characters and storyline belong in the same universe that even their stories have overlapped in the comic series. According to which, Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones was theorized to be the main reason why a crossover between the two Marvel franchises was inevitable.
Though the movies will be released on separate dates, filming for Infinity War will commence by November of this year in Atlanta, Georgia. GOTG, on the other hand, finished filming last month but Vin Diesel, among others will start filming with Infinity War cast members collectively.
