‘Avengers 4’ Title Won’t Be Revealed Until Long After You’ve Digested ‘Infinity War’
We’re only a few days away from the release of Marvel Studios’Avengers: Infinity War.Many people – myself included – predicted that becauseInfinity Warand the still-untitledAvengers 4were essentially shot back to back,Infinity Warmight feature a quick teaser (or maybe even a whole trailer) forAvengers 4that would reveal the title to the world. But it turns out we’re going to have to wait a little longer.
In a new interview, directorsAnthonyandJoe Russoexplain why it’ll be “quite a long while” before we learn theAvengers 4title. Read their full quotes below.
Yahoo UKasked the Russo brothers if they were going to reveal theAvengers 4title after the credits ofInfinity War, but the directors shot down that idea:
It makes sense. If the title for the fourthAvengersmovie is such a big spoiler that it should scare fans, as the brothers themselveshave said, they wouldn’t want that information getting out before fans have a chance to see and process the events ofInfinity War.
In that same interview, the brothers repeated a lot of information they’ve said already about how the two movies will be distinct from each other and how each one will feel like a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end, but Joe Russo also drew an interesting comparison when asked explaining how the difference between Marvel Studios' Phase 3 and Phase 4 will be “pretty drastic.”
“I think massively different. I think that this is if Marvel has been writing a book for ten years, it’s the end of the book and someone is going to write a new book.
Who knows what that new book will be but this is an ending and that’ll be a new beginning.”
To be clear, all this doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t see any footage fromAvengers 4during a post-credits scene inInfinity War. (We saw a glimpse atThe Avengersinthis sceneinCaptain America: The First Avenger.) But if we do get a quick tease of what’s to come, it sounds like it’ll be with a placeholder title attached.
Avengers: Infinity Warhits theaters onApril 27, 2018, andAvengers 4arrives onMay 3, 2019.
