Even over a month after its release in theaters,Infinity Warstill has Marvel Cinematic Universe fans scratching their heads and getting into to full conspiracy theory mode. Watching Thanos complete his hero’s journey and wiping out half of the universe, along with some of the MCU’s most beloved heroes, was almost too much for some fans to handle. But how does this set upAvengers 4? We still don’t have a concrete answer to that question, but a recently released synopsis forAvengers 4may shed light on some of the theories being dissected online.
Thanks to License Global magazine, we now have the first synopsis forAvengers 4. For context, it should be noted that the same magazine also had the first synopsis forInfinity Wara whole year before the movie hit theaters. That being said, the brief synopsis talks about a “fragile reality” and “sacrifice,” which is all that most fans need to know when thinking about alternate realities and time travel as well as more death. The synopsis forAvengers 4reads.
“A culmination of 22 interconnected films the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.”
Though theAvengers 4synopsis is pretty vague, it is fueling the speculation fires. Thanos had everybody questioning reality inInfinity Warwhen he acquired theReality Stone, which has had some hardcore MCU devotees suggest that all of the heroes and people who perished in the last film are actually living in analternate universe, which is where the Quantum Realm and time travel will come into play. Many have been wondering howAnt-Man 2andCaptain Marvelwill fit into the storyline ofAvengers 4and the Quantum Realm is a big part of those theories that will tie everything together.
There have been leaked photos from the set ofAvengers 4that heavily suggest time travel. The now infamous shots of Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr. in their original Avengers costumes alongside Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man have really been the guiding evidence in the time travel theory, especially since they all seem to have devices on their arms. Additionally, there have been shots of Tony Stark in a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, which indicates the future, while Loki is in the same costume that he had in the first Avengers movie. And, yes,Thor has been spotted with his long hair grown back.
TheAvengers 4synopsis doesn’t say much in the way of explicit time travel, but the “fragile reality” and “sacrifice” are really the important factors here. It’s expected that we will see some real deaths, or sacrifice, inAvengers 4that will remain permanent and many believe that it will be some of the original Avengers that started it all. This is all speculation at this point, but there are going to be somemajor plot twistswhen the movie hits theaters next May. TheAvengers 4synopsis was originally revealed throughLicensing Global Magazine.
