Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been eagerly awaiting for the untitled Avengers
4 trailer to drop any day now, and the anticipation is utterly painful.
What will happen in the aftermath of Thanos’ victory and his snap?
Sorry, spoilers there, friends.
But if you haven’t already seen Infinity War, what are you doing with your life?
Go watch it, NOW!
For those of you up to date, we’re diving once again into hypothetical land and discussing
what we’d love to see in the upcoming Avengers 4 trailer, with our list that’s titled exactly
that!
Now let’s get to the wishful thinking!
10 Where have all our dusted friends gone?
It seems very unlikely that Marvel Studios will show us any of the dusted heroes, simply
because that would be giving us WAY too much this early on.
But MY GOD WOULDN’T IT BE NICE TO SEE THEM?
And to see that they somehow survived such a traumatic event?
Regardless, we may get some sort of hint in this upcoming trailer that there is a plan
in motion to reverse what Thanos did with his snap, and at least that may give fans
the kind of hope they’ve been craving ever since Infinity War first came out in theatres.
9 Eternity One of the biggest questions we were left
with at the end of Infinity War was what was it that Doctor Strange saw when he looked
into the future that made him want to give up the time stone in order to save Tony Stark?
Well, we figure that despite him getting dusted, Doctor Strange had a plan.
With Tony kept alive, we’re sure the films plot will explore why, but we’re hoping
that Strange will appear in the movie to ensure that humanity, and all of the universe, will
survive from another threat; Eternity.
In the comics, Doctor Strange has to convince the eternal entity, Eternity, to not reset
the universe after Thanos has caused so much damage.
There has been rumours of a scene that was shot for Avengers 4 that features Benedict
Cumberbatch interacting with a massive CGI character.
This could be none other than Eternity.
We’re hoping that perhaps, while we might not get a glimpse of Strange, that hopefully
Eternity will pop up in the trailer, adding some more mystery and intrigue to what exactly
is going to go down in the film.
8 Cassie Lang We’re expecting some sort of big reveal
from the trailer.
And while we don’t think it’ll be any of the crucial plot points for the film, or
perhaps Eternity (although that would be great), introducing another character, or rather,
an older version of a pre-existing character, would definitely do the trick.
We’re talking about none other than Cassie Lang, Ant-Man’s daughter.
It was reported a little while back that the actress who played Cassie in both of the Ant-Man
films, Abby Ryder Fortson, would be replaced by a much older teenage actor named Emma Fuhrmann.
This has spawned a whole lot of theories about when the timeline for Avengers 4 will take
place, and if its several years in future, which we’ll be segwayed into thanks to Scott
Lang, who will emerge from the Quantum Realm several years after the events of Infinity
War.
This could potentially be used as a way to establish the tone of the trailer, or at least
a rough idea of the films plot.
7 Hawkeye as Ronin One of the first major speculations about
Avengers 4 was that Hawkeye, who was absent in Infinity War, will be taking on a new alias;
Ronin, a mantle he assumes in the comics.
This theory was spawned thanks to leaked photos of Jeremy Renner on set.
The actor was wearing a long robe, but beneath it, you could see some new darker threads
that look a whole lot like the kind of suit he wears as Ronin in the comics.
Regardless of whether Clint Barton is adopting a new mantle, we’ll be excited to find out
what his character has been up to, and how he’ll be involved in Avengers 4.
Side note, having him in the trailer would also be a solid choice of a reveal, and one
that seems quite likely, since Marvel Studios wouldn’t be releasing any new major information
by doing so.
6 The aftermath While we might not get a glimpse of any of
the dusted heroes in this trailer, we do hope that we’ll get some sort of establishing
bits of what the world post-snap is now like.
Whether or not the fan theories about a time jump are accurate, we do know that the way
the world was left in Avengers Infinity War sets the stage for a whole lot of drama and
chaos.
It seems fitting that a trailer would start off by establishing what this world is now
like before jumping into some of the more in-depth action shots and reveals.
5 Thanos What has the mad titan been up to?
We know that Josh Brolin’s big purple villain will be making a return, because, well, duh
- but what has Thanos been doing after his victory over the Avengers?
Now that his life goal of balancing out the universe is accomplished, what is he doing
with his time?
While some may argue that he’ll be up to the same kind of business he was in the comics
at the end of the Infinity Gauntlet Jim Starlin series, which was him just chilling peacefully
on a farm, its likely that he’s been more constructive with his time.
Which is probably no good for our heroes, now is it?
4 Captain Marvel The last film to be released before Avengers
4 comes out is none other than Captain Marvel’s solo feature, coming to theatres in March
of next year.
We know that Carol Danvers will be present in Avengers 4 since actor Brie Larson has
already shot scenes with Josh Brolin for the film.
The two will have some sort of interaction.
Many fans are hoping to see a shot in the trailer featuring Carol Danvers alongside
the rest of the Avengers, while others think that perhaps that scene with Thanos may make
the cut.
Either way, having Danvers appear in the trailer is something many of us are optimistic about.
3 Time Travel Confirmation We know that hands down we’ll be getting
a whole lot of Quantum Realm in this film, especially considering we know that Scott
Lang’s Ant-Man has got to somehow get out in order to hang out with the Avengers at
the Battle of New York (thanks to leaked photos).
But having some sort of confirmation that the time travel theory is correct will finally
put a lot of speculation to ease.
Now revealing a hint to the time travel plot line (assuming that very substantial theory
is indeed correct) may seem to fall into the same ‘giving away too much’ category as
showing off the dusted heroes in the trailer would be, but considering how thorough the
theories have been surrounding this, and all of the leaked photos from the film’s Battle
of New York scene that featured Ant-Man in them, it seems like Marvel may feel that giving
this detail away in the trailer isn’t too much of a loss.
But who knows.
2 Steve and Tony Reunite Back in Captain America Civil War, Steve Rogers
and Tony Stark weren’t on the best of terms.
Civil War put a massive strain on their friendship, and the two didn’t even speak during Infinity
War, despite Tony having a moment where he almost called up Cap upon news of Thanos’
incoming invasion.
With rumours that this film may conclude with the death of Captain America (since actor
Chris Evans’ contract is up), it seems likely that Avengers 4 will bring the two together
again, and bury any bad blood from the past so that they can defeat Thanos and save the
universe.
And oh how satisfying would it be to see them together making amends in the trailer!
This seems like one of the more realistic expectations fans have for the trailer, so
here’s hoping it pans out.
1 The Title I think I speak for all MCU fans here where
I say LET US KNOW THE BLOODY TITLE ALREADY!
So, a bit of a recap on the last several months concerning the title shenanigans with the
Russo brothers and fans desperately trying to figure out what it is.
Over the summer, the Russo brothers, the directors of the upcoming film, along with Infinity
War and Civil War, kept teasing fans by releasing images on social media with cryptic captions.
One of which was an Instagram post that featured Joe Russo sitting on the Avengers 4 set with
the caption “look hard”.
Fans started to take guesses as to whether the title was spelt out in the image, finding
letters and shapes and what not.
Popular guesses included Endgame and Assemble.
The Russo brothers also hinted in one interview that the tone of the title says a lot about
the film, which has got fans wondering whether the title is a spoiler in itself.
But one thing is for sure; we’re definitely going to get a title in the trailer.
There we have it friends!
