![]() ![]() ![]() Star Wars Episode IX: Avengers 5: Kingdom Hearts 4: The Spirits Withinĭisney is buying DC Comics and adding a new gem to its Franchise Gauntlet. What if that’s because bringing Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Chris Pratt together in the first film causes a Chris density so vast that it tears open the space-time continuum and launches all the characters into a rambunctious cross-time adventure? What if Chris Pine shows up for a post-credits cameo? The Russos have said Infinity War 2 is going to have an entirely different storyline from the first Infinity War movie. Potential copyright issues here, but ripping off DC’s most famous universe-ending crossover event would really be rubbing it in the competing comic book company’s face. ![]() Look, Feige said the title was a spoiler, okay? Maybe Loki targeted him for mind control because he already had budding evil tendencies.Īvengers: Rosebud Was His Damn Sled, We’ve Been Telling You That For 77 YearsĬharles Kane was an Avenger. What if the explanation is that he’s the true villain of Marvel’s entire 19-film-long saga? No one would ever see it coming, apart from the people who noticed he spent the first Avengers as a villain. Hawkeye has been almost suspiciously absent from all the Infinity War marketing. What better way to mess with fan expectations than to leave the ever-virtuous Cap alive, and subvert the entire fan guessing game by killing off Tom Hiddleston’s character instead? Given the many comics arcs named after a character death, what’s the likelihood that the Avengers title references someone who dies?Īvengers: Hey, Remember How You Guessed We Were Killing Off A Hero? Surprise, Loki’s Dead, Suckers!Įveryone in Marvel fandom - and we mean pretty much everyone - loves Thor’s trickster sibling, Loki. But after the hilarious Thor: Ragnarok, Chris Hemsworth’s often “meh” god is actually awesome now, so Marvel couldn’t possibly consider offing him already… could they?Īvengers: The Tragic And Totally Unexpected Death of Captain America, For Good, We Swear, We Aren’t Taking This One Back, Besides, His Contract Is Upįans have been theorizing for years now that at least one major character is going to die in the Infinity War movies, either because the original Avengers leads are so much older and more expensive than they were back when the MCU launched, or just to show the situation is serious. Given that last detail, it would make a ton of sense to keep things secret if this is the name for the second film, given that it would almost inevitably lead people to believe that Thor and his awesome eyepatch were not long for this world. This name comes from a crossover comics arc that radically rearranged the Avengers team - and also killed off Thor. It also fits with the naming scheme of the original comics, which featured arc titles like “The Infinity War” and “The Infinity Crusade.” More importantly, how can a title be a spoiler without being totally, completely obvious as a phrase? It’s messing with our heads. We don’t know how this one is a spoiler per se, but it seems like it’d fit thematically with the first movie, what with the Infinity Gauntlet, the Infinity Stones, the title Infinity War, and the fact that this film is theoretically the end of this era of Marvel films. Potential spoilers for Infinity War 2 below? Who knows? (My personal suspicion is that it’ll be revealed in the post-final-credit-scene title card, as “The Avengers will return in Avengers: Whatever It’s Called”).įortunately, we’ve put our best pop-culture detectives on the case, and we’ve got a few ideas of what the fourth Avengers movie might be called. Our only clue? A tweet from the Russo brothers earlier this week confirming that it should “scare the shit” out of fans that the apparently spoiler-filled title hasn’t been revealed yet. In an interview with Uproxx, Avengers directors Joe and Anthony Russo said, “The movies are two very different movies,” and that it would be “misleading” to simply call them Part 1 and 2, although they hadn’t decided on a new subtitle.Ī year after that, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealed in an interview with Cinemablend that the reason we haven’t heard the Avengers 4 title was because it’s a spoiler for Infinity War. Two years later, right before the release of Captain America: Civil War, the fourth (and currently final) Avengers film got a name change, dropping the “Infinity War Part 2” moniker in favor of an unannounced title. Why the mystery?įor context: Infinity War was first announced back in 2014, when the two films were known as Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Avengers: Infinity War Part 2. And yet we still don’t know what the sequel is going to be called. ![]() It’s a back-to-back two-parter, with the second half coming in 2019. We’re a few weeks out from the release of Avengers: Infinity War, perhaps the biggest superhero movie ever made. ![]()
