What Is Marvel Planning After 'Avengers 4'? The end - or, at least, an end - is nigh for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if studio president Kevin Feige's teases are anything to go by. But what could that actually mean in practice? Talking to Collider, Feige suggested that, "as we get to [2. Avengers] Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we're at untitled Avengers 4, the 2. MCU. And what happens after that will be very different.
I don't know if it's Phase 4, it might be a new thing."Elsewhere in the same interview, he says, "We have an idea [of what the MCU looks like post- Infinity War], and it's gonna be very, very different.""Very, very different" could mean anything - an all- new lineup of heroes replacing the familiar faces entirely, a reboot from scratch with a different cast or something else equally dramatic, for example. As a long- term comic book reader, however, it sounds very much like Marvel Studios is going to follow the same playbook that Marvel's comic book line has used for the last decade- plus, and use the oversized event storyline as an opportunity for a soft- reboot of its fictional universe. The comic book arm of Marvel has used this formula for some years now, increasing in frequency as the need for sales bumps has grown. Events in the comic book universe would build to a particular peak, which would be characterized by one of a number of "event" series - 2. Secret Invasion, say, or 2. Secret Wars or the current Secret Empire (Marvel has a lot of secrets, apparently). The legend lives!

The event would crescendo before the aftermath arrived with a cosmetic change in the status quo (SHIELD is now being led by a villain who's outlawed all superheroes! The universe has been recreated and reality is subtly different as a result!) and a branding that could be used to promote the line in stores as a new beginning, using titles like "All- New All- Different Marvel" or "Marvel NOW!"Infinity War could be a movie that offers the same opportunity for Marvel's movie universe. Depending on the outcome of the movie, it's possible that it - and the untitled fourth Avengers movie, the very title of which is a spoiler, Feige told Cinema. Blend - could create an altered status quo for the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward that doesn't require any more of a linewide shift than Captain America: The Winter Soldier or even Captain America: Civil War (the end of SHIELD and the end of the Avengers, respectively), but could nonetheless be used to promote a "new beginning" for the studio. Arguably, it would need that kind of boost by that point; "Phase 4" just doesn't sound as impressive as Phases 1 through 3, and by 2. Marvel Studios will have been producing movies for more than a decade - an ideal time to freshen things up, even if it's merely with a temporary coat of paint. Those imagining that the post- Infinity War changes will be anything more than cosmetic are likely fooling themselves; if nothing else, the existence of a third Guardians of the Galaxy and second Spider- Man would appear to confirm no reboot plans, in addition to making it even more obvious that the Earth is going to survive the showdown with Thanos. Instead, imagine a more metatextual shift towards actors and characters still under contract, with even the crown jewel of the franchise reflecting that change. Perhaps Avengers 4's title is under wraps because it pulls from a very popular branch of the comic book version of the franchise. After all, is there any hardcore Marvel fan who wouldn't get excited showing up at the theater to see The New Avengers? Read more: 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. What the Critics Are Saying. Avengers 3 Cast ListThere’s a good reason why Avengers 4 doesn’t have a title yet. The A. V. Club. Looks like it’ll be awhile before we learn the actual name of the fourth installment of the Avengers movies. Yesterday, we reported on how Marvel might be looking to shake up its cinematic universe following the events of the next two films of its tentpole franchise, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige discussing how whatever comes after Avengers 4 will be “very different”—studio speak for “we’ve got movie stars whose contracts will be finished.” And now, in a new interview with Cinema Blend, Feige confirms something that has been suspected for a while—namely, the reason the next film after Avengers: Infinity War doesn’t have an official title yet is because the one Marvel’s got is a massive spoiler. Avengers 4 Trailer 2017The idea that the fourth film may include some surprising twists first took shape back when we learned the next two Avengers films were no longer titled Infinity War Part I and Part II. So, when asked point blank if the reason Avengers 4 still doesn’t have a title is because its actual title constitutes a spoiler for the events of Avengers: Infinity War, Feige replied, “Yeah, for sure.” This suggests that, even if the Thanos storyline that’s been teased since the ending of the very first Avengers film back in 2. Reading between the lines, it’s possible Marvel might be a little unsure how to proceed following Avengers 4. It only has two films lined up right now—the follow- up to Spider- Man: Homecoming and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. Feige keeps stressing they’re not really certain what’s happening after that. Presumably, this is all just opening the door for a standalone Squirrel Girl film, and then the inevitable might of that hero’s Great Lakes Avengers team, finally giving Milwaukee, Wisconsin the hometown crimefighters it deserves. UPDATE: Feige may not want to say what Avengers 4 will be called, but it looks like Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Zoe Saldana isn’t as worried about the name as he is. As reported by io. Saldana was talking to the BBC about filming Infinity War, and she casually mentioned that she and the rest of the Guardians will soon have to go back “for Gauntlet.” The implication there is that the movie will be called Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet, with the name coming from the golden glove that Thanos is known to wear. That’s not much of a spoiler if it’s the spoiler Feige was talking about (since Age Of Ultron showed Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet), so it seems much more likely that Gauntlet is simply a placeholder name for Avengers 4.[Note: io.
