‘Avengers 3’ Might Not Feature The Stars Of Phase 1 And 2
We don’t know whenThe Avengers 3is going to be released. We don’t know who’s going to write it, who’s going to direct it, but we always thought we know who’d star. Now, even that may be up in the air.
A new rumor says that whateverMarvel Studioshas planned for the eventual thirdAvengersfilm isn’t what we think at all. It may not even feature many of the big stars of Phase 1 and 2. Stars likeChris Evansas Captain America,Chris Hemsworthas Thor orScarlett Johanssonas Black Widow. According to the rumor, Marvel might be packingAvengers 3with the new stars of their universe. Characters like theGuardians of the Galaxy, Ant-ManandDoctor Strangesetting up some kind of even bigger event after that. Read more about this Avengers 3 rumor below.
The Avengers 3 rumor came fromBadass Digest. Here’s an excerpt:
Imagine anAvengers 3without Thor or Captain America, maybe without Black Widow. It’s a movie where the secondary characters from the MCU get to stand up and prove their worth, possibly even setting up their own spin-offs. WithGuardiansMarvel has shown that their brand is the star, and by the time we get toA3clearly people will be on board with the entire universe. Keep Iron Man – Robert Downey Jr’s renegotiated contract seems to specifyAvengers 3as his next film – and you have a new launching pad for characters to take over from the current big guns.
Pointed out in that piece, this makes a lot of sense because of dollars and cents. Evans, Hemsworth and others each have two movies on the original contracts. They can make one more movie in their own universe (Captain AmericaandThor 3for example) and then do another film – let’s hypothetically call itAvengers 4– to totally change everything. However, the Badass Digest piece hypothesizes it could be something more along the lines ofMarvel’s Infinity GauntletorMarvel’s Secret War.And in this film, you could even bring in TV characters and more.
Marvelhas a lot of release datesplanned in the next five years, so there is certainly lots of room for some unexpected films.
We all assumedAvengers 3was going to be the big crossover where everything came together in a battle with Thanos. If this rumor is true though, Marvel is one step ahead of everyone again, going with an even bigger plan.
Much like the end of the firstAvengers, we should have a much better idea of what Marvel has planned next summer whenAvengers: Age of Ultronends. Until then, what do you think about anAvengers 3without the stars of the first two movies?
