That was more of a not going Avengers exclusive thing. When the world is threatened by basically a god of course he's going to help. You call everyone in for that*

I've seen other reports that say Black Panther and Bucky are leading an army in Wakanda and are fighting a four armed creature. Might be Outrider and if so it seems like they're taking a lot of cues from Hickman's Infinity. Wouldn't surprise me if the Soul Gem is in Wakanda.

They have never said anything for sure one way or the other.

They only hints pointing in any particular direction are:

- The Russos have said that they want to include The Defenders
- Charlie Cox has had two meetings with the movie division

I desperately want this to be a three hour "Return of the King" epic.

Edit: I still wish they had stuck to the two part film releasing in back to back years. Even better if the first film ended with the heroes initially losing and thanos erasing half of all living beings

It's still a two part film, it's just not named as such. Because films named Part 1 and Part 2 don't do so well. But they are coming out in 2018 and 2019 and will be direct sequels to each other. They're filming them both back to back as well.

The Avengers soundly beat Thanos during Infinity War and then he sues them for damages. Matt is introduced just like in that Defenders trailer but in space.

This is so true. I remember in my comic book collecting heyday (early to mid 80's) and even before that the only thing we had were 2 good Superman movies, 2 poo poo ones, The Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman TV shows and a bunch of horrible bullshit in between. We had terrible TV versions of Spiderman, Captain America and Dr. Strange. Now we're actually brushing up against over saturation

No wonder everyone was so hyped for Batman 89.

I feel like if we were gonna have any of the TV characters in the movie, they would have been hyping that poo poo hard.

Only reason I can think of them not doing that is if the shows directly address it and it would be a spoiler to announce their appearances early.

Gonna be honest

An organization called the Black Order serving as primary villains in a universe that's pushing a guy called Black Panther as one of its headlining heroes feels a bit, uh.

I dunno what it feels like but this is honestly a change for the better.
