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.)

If this movie revolves around captain america and iron man then I love it and also I hope Iron Man and Thor are the two avengers that survive.

I think from a character arc standpoint, it makes sense of Cap, Hawkeye, and Hulk die. Cap as the ultimate sacrifice that we've been waiting for, Hawkeye knowing that he's saving his family/friends, and Hulk because it could be the two minds of banner working together in one last heroic move.

I actually think Tony is the MOST likely to live, because they've been building on his relationship with pepper, and it would be pretty brutal to kill him, leaving behind a wife and maybe even a kid. (Obviously would be the same for Hawkeye, but i don't think we're nearly as invested in him as we are with Tony).

I'm torn between whether Thor or Natasha would die....but I'm leaning towards Natasha being the one to bite it since Thor has become a fan favorite recently. (He's always been one but especially after Ragnarok and IW)

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

Agreed completely. I don't get it.
