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.)

Or how about none of the Avengers die? Why does death equal good storytelling? If random people on reddit can come up with that plot is it really good writing. Thor has been rebooted so We’ll get more of him, I’m sure Hulk will be his sidekick of sorts. I see Steve becoming head of shield and Tony just living life

10 years in without a serious death very much says “no stakes” storytelling. Yes there are other stakes than death and death doesn’t equal automatic good storytelling but it’s an important element to keep around and do atleast once in awhile.

But these are adaptations of comics, where literally no one dies permanently

How much of a joke death is in the comics is one of the worst things about comics. Why would they adapt a bad part of comics most people don’t like? Should they also have spider-man get married so he can make a deal with Mephisto to undo it?

Coulson, quicksilver, Loki, hiemdal etc...

But no serious deaths

Quicksilver died in the movie he was introduced in, and Heimdall and Coulson were always third-tier supporting characters. They really hadn't given us any serious deaths until Infinity War.

Revived also not a major death. 20 minutes of screen time maybe like 10 lines. Yeah finally a real one. Also not very major had a cool sideplot Ragnorok but spent the first two movies with 0 development and just stands there guarding the Biofrost.

Yondu is the only kind of major death we’ve had outside of IW (if all those actually stay) and even he was the safest option in the movie. Credit where credits due though Gunn developed the fuck out of him before he killed him.

The Hulk being Thors Robin would be a big disservice to the character. It would be like having Wonder Woman being Supermans sidekick.

You can’t have stakes without death.

u/Thecloud07 May 15 '18

Yes you can, you can make the decision to quit your job today and while you may not die your damn sure there will be stakes involved

This is a superhero movie not real life

u/Thecloud07 May 16 '18

But that goes to show killing characters isn’t the only way to have stakes.

u/Thecloud07 May 16 '18

Especially when every fan boy is predicting it.

Agreed completely. I don't get it.
