‘Avengers 4’ Title Speaks To The Heart Of The Story; Marvel Studios Already Planning 2025
The team behindAvengers: Infinity Warhas teased and taunted us with the still-unannouncedAvengers 4title for months. Now, three days after the release of the thirdAvengersfilm, we still have no clue what the sequel will be titled. Sure, we’vejoked about potentialAvengers 4titles, but our theories amount to nothing if directorsJoe and Anthony Russodon’t give us more of a hint than “it will wreck you.” But with a year left of twiddling our thumbs untilAvengers 4opens in theaters (sorryAnt-Man and the Wasp), we’re going to have plenty of time to dig into our more theories.
Avengers 4 Title
No amount of money can loosen the Russo brothers' lips when it comes to theAvengers 4title — even asInfinity Warsmashes box office records to the tune of$630 million worldwide. No, the Russo brothers are going to stick with the cryptic hints, tellingBustle:
“We do have a name for it, we’re just not announcing it … and I think we came to that name fairly early in the development process. It speaks to the heart of the story.”
The title ofAvengers 4has been kept under a tight lid for fear of spoilers — but the secrecy has become so all-consuming that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has admitted that the strategy has “backfired.”
“[Now it] will have no chance [of] living up to any expectations of what it’s gonna be,” Feige toldIGN. So from now on, the cast and crew ofAvengers 4have to tread carefully whenever they talk about the highly anticipated film. Which will be difficult since thecliffhanger ending ofInfinity Warwill makeAvengers 4the only thing anyone will want to talk about.
In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, screenwritersChristopher MarkusandStephen McFeelyteased an even bigger — and potentially more devastating —Avengers 4. “Because boy,Avengers 4, if anything, is better than what you just saw,” McFeely said. “And bigger,” Markus added.
The two of them are moving on from the Marvel Cinematic Universe afterAvengers 4to start their own company, but Markus and McFeely said they would be open to returning to the MCU. “We would love to go back to Marvel at some point, if they’ll have us,” McFeely told THR. “But we have this weird, new job where we get to help out a lot of other projects and write our own. It’s really sort of a dream scenario. If it doesn’t kill us, we’d like to try it for awhile.”
Marvel Plans to 2025
The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have just hit a major milestone withInfinity War, celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a bang, but Kevin Feige is already looking seven years ahead. Even as the MCU’s next phase remains a mystery after 2019’sAvengers 4, Feige and the Marvel team have already started planning the slate for 2024 and 2025. He told theAssociated Press:
“They don’t even know what’s coming. We’re always thinking ahead. Just when people think they can pin us down, we go somewhere else and that’s going to happen again afterInfinity Warin the build-up to the next Avengers film. And we had meetings earlier today about 2024 and 2025.”
We still have no idea what’s coming. But that doesn’t meanwe can’t try to guess.
