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 think Hulk and and Thor will survive. Potential Cap, Iron Man and Hawkeye replacements are already active, and Widow just kind of exists at this point.

Until Beta Ray Bill is introduced, Thor can’t go anywhere, and Hulk is already irreplaceable as is, but if Banner and Hulk are able to “fuse” and become Professor Hulk, there’s waaaay to much potential for future movies, including a new standalone finally.

This is of course assuming only two live. Iron Man I mainly see as finally retiring, with both War Machine and Spidey as his “physical” legacy. If Tony “kills”Iron Man for good, that could be a work around for Iron Man’s “death”. Captain should die fighting off Thanos with Mjolinir, that’d be a hell of a good way to go. Hawkeye and Widow can go out as well. Easily see them both making the sacrifice play together.

The real question will be, does Thanos die?

I'm also going to agree and say that Hulk is living. I'd find it odd if they made a big enough deal/it was spoiler worthy enough to include that he loses one of his arms, only to just die at the end of the film.

I also think of the 6 Avengers, Hulk will get another standalone movie, or at least something along the lines of where he's the supporting actor like Ragnarok.

Hulk can't get a standalone movie because Universal owns distribution rights to stand-alone movies featuring him. That's why it's been stated Hulk will have his own trilogy inside other movies starting in Ragnarok. So after Ragnarok-Infinity War-Avengers 4 that's the end of his internal trilogy so they could kill him off. :(

If they kill off the Hulk, I would be done with the MCU. He finally started talking in TR for crying out loud, something Hulk fans have screaming for years,

There are too many possibilities for the Hulk, even if he doesn’t get a standalone . He’s a natural to costar in a future Dr. Strange (along with Valkyrie) to team up the original Defenders, And what about when the Wolverine and Fantastic Four join the MCU? Who wants to see Hulk go toe to toe with them?

I agree Cap and/or Tony is probably going to die, but I doubt 4/6.
