With so much attention on Avengers: Infinity War, it's easy to forget that Avengers 4 is a little over a year away from being released. As things currently stand, we know next to nothing about the Marvel Studios movie and that's the way Kevin Feige and company appear to like it! Regardless, it's been widely assumed that the untitled sequel will wrap up the battle between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Thanos but recent comments from the movie's writers have now cast at least some doubt on that.
"We know pretty much what’s going on in Avengers 3," Stephen McFeely said, confirming that no fan theories have come close to figuring out what comes next. "You’ve been told who’s the bad guy and what he wants for several movies and it’s not going to change: that’s what’s going to happen. You run it in the best possible way with twists along the way, but you have no idea what Avengers 4 is."
"Nobody knows, and that’s what makes me particularly excited. I look all the time on the internet: people have no idea!" the writer added with great delight when asked to elaborate on that. "[Avengers] 4 resolves the intrigue of Infinity War; [the movies are] clearly linked, but they almost seem to belong to two different genres. We did not want to cut a film in half and say, 'Pay now and come back in a year for the rest!' These are two different stories, on a tonal and structural level."
At this point, it's hard to say whether or not Thanos will even factor into Avengers 4 but Marvel clearly has some big surprises in store for us, hence why the title is being kept under wraps!
