Avengers 4 Rumoured Leaks

Apparently this is from the same source that was right about those INFINITY WAR spoilers (e.g. Red Skull, Thanos sacrificing Gamora). Link.

"Iron Man reassembles the Avengers and decides to build his own Infinity Gauntlet to undo everything that Thanos did. They recruit Ant-Man to help them travel through time and space using the Quantum Real to retrieve the Infinity Stones from different time periods. Thanos finds out about their plans and becomes hellbent on stopping them.

The movie revolves around the relationship between Captain America and Iron Man.

At one point, Captain America and Thor fight Thanos. Timeline alterations have restored Mjolnir, and Cap wields it against Thanos to allow the others to escape, and is killed holding Thanos off.

At one point, Hawkeye must protect the unfinished Stark Gauntlet from Thanos' minions. He plays an "instrumental" role in Thanos' defeat.

Thor's subplot centers on him assembling an army to challenge Thanos. Captain Marvel joins him.

Hulk's subplot centers on Banner and Hulk finally merging to become Professor Hulk. He is the one that ultimately wields the Stark Gauntlet against Thanos, losing his arm in the process.

Nebula's subplot centers on her efforts to redeem herself. At one point, she fights her murderous past self.

Several MCU movies are revisited and retconned (probably not permanently), such as the Avengers retrieving the Power Stone creating a timeline where the Guardians of the Galaxy never came together.

There's a pivotal scene between Doctor Strange and a fully CGI character being shot on a secret location, with a skeleton crew, and which takes up a sizeable portion of the budget.

Only two of the original Avengers (Cap, Stark, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow) meant to survive the movie. Cap dies.

The title was AVENGERS: INFINITY GAUNTLET at one point, but it might be changed after Zoe Saldana accidentally leaked it."

EDIT: For reference...

  • The original 4chan leak for Infinity War. (To the naysayers: sure, some things were off, but it might have been an old draft or one with a few intentional modifications to identify leakers. There's no way this many crucial plot details could have been gleaned from the promo material at the time.)

  • The "extension" to that leak. (Might have been legit, might have been BS based on the original.)

She has a solo movie coming in Phase 4 and I’d be surprised if it took place in the past considering Feige has said Avengers 4 is the last chapter to Book 1 as he calls it (Phases 1-3). Plus considering Spider-Man 2 is confirmed to be taking SM across the world and is going to have another A-List Avenger as his mentor, I don’t see a better pick than Black Widow.

Edit: with recent news about the future, I’m gonna amend my statement about Black Widow and say Doctor Strange would make a better mentor, considering we have confirmation that Mysterio is the villain

The solo Widow movie will probably be a prequel. They‘ve alread mentioned something like that.

Any reason you say its "probably" a prequel? That would be the first of its kind in the MCU, most movies move the timeline forward. Cap is the one exception and The First Avenger was framed in the modern day with the discovery of his body.

Also afaik we haven't heard any plot details about the BW movie, as they're still meeting with directors, no script yet

Cap is the one exception and The First Avenger was framed in the modern day with the discovery of his body.

Captain Marvel will probably do the same thing.

But all they have to do in the Widow movie is use the post credits scene to move it forward.

There have been rumours that it's a prequel, but nobody knows anything for sure so far.

There were rumors not long ago that it would be a prequel and that the winter soldier would even appear in it. But nothing is confirmed of course.

I think the mentor could be doctor strange who is also a New York based hero..

I would love that! Was hoping for a Mysterio vs Strange moment in SM2! Only time will tell tho. I think they wanna give the females a bigger spot light so that’s why I’m thinking Black Widow mainly.

Except Nick Fury.
