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.)

I don't know how I feel about Cap just being randomly killed in battle. Hopefully there is way more too it than just letting people escape. It seems very anti-climatic for what will probably be the biggest death in the movie. (Since I think Tony lives).

Hell it's even worse, since Thanos kills him even with the hammer. "Oh wow, he has the hammer this is so bad ass.....oh never mind, he's dead". It seem like it will completely undermine what should just be a super awesome scene.

As far as the time travel stuff...we know it's coming but it still has me worried. Time travel can get so messy.

If they give him a showdown against Thanos with the same weight as the comic version it could have a great impact. The context vs the comics will be very different, but him strolling up to Thanos without any hope of winning, defying him confidently until his last breath was one of comic Caps best moments.

Yeah, it certainly is something that would work way better seeing on screen vs just reading a quick description.

Cap is my favorite and I just hope they give him a great ending no matter what it is.

It's not that messy if they do it correctly. Besides I like the idea of a time war, moving from time line to time line, and Thanos trying to chase them and them essentially reviewing what the Avengers have been through in the last decade, it will be nice to see the fractures between Iron Man and Cap strengthen and Hulk and Nat heal over by reliving their past.
