With Avengers: Infinity War having now been out for a month – we know, time flies – and millions of Marvel fans around the globe having already experienced all of its thrills, laughs, drama and tragedy, we’re ready to look to the future and begin the countdown for what happens next. Though all MCU movies are connected, Infinity War and the fourth Avengers entry are more symbiotic than usual, as next May’s sequel will have to deal with the universe-shattering fallout caused by Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet.
Despite setting us up for Avengers 4, however, Marvel Studios are currently keeping their cards very close to their chests right now, as they haven’t even revealed the title of the sequel yet. Originally, the plan was for it to simply be called Avengers: Infinity War – Part Two, but once this was changed, the idea was that Avengers 4‘s name would be held back to keep the attention on the first half. And because it could spoil the events of Infinity War.
Marvel president Kevin Feige has since admitted that this kind of backfired on them, as speculation over the mystery title has been running rampant. That said, it doesn’t look like the studio is going to reveal it anytime soon, so we still have a while to ponder which title would best fit Avengers 4. Of course, fan theories and rumors have been popping up at an alarming rate and in recent weeks, one title that’s picked up steam has been Avengers: Eternity.
The idea is that since Joe Russo admitted that Avengers: Forever is the closest people have come to guessing what the next film will be called, it must be something similar and so, fans have settled upon Eternity. According to Steve Weintraub of Collider though, that’s not it, either. He doesn’t know what it’s actually titled, of course, but did say that his sources shot down this latest guess from fans.
For now, it’s understandable that all involved with the production are keeping things under wraps. At least until everyone’s had a chance to see Infinity War. Then again, the first in the two-part epic is consistently setting box office records, so those who haven’t attended a showing must be few and far between by this point.
While we strongly advise that you not hold your breath, let’s hope we learn Avengers 4‘s true title before the year is out. As for when it’ll arrive in theaters, you can look forward to that happening on May 3rd, 2019.
