I don't want to lose anybody, but if someone has to go, it can be Iron Man. It better not be Steve. If it is Steve, I want Sam Cap over Bucky Cap. I feel like any of the Guardians, Strange, Spider-Man, and BP are safe. I'd like Thor and Hulk back. I would be really sad to lose Wanda. Vision can go. They can have War Machine too.


I recognize the silliness in this question, but I'll ask anyway. Timeline wise, all of the Defender stuff would be in the past compared to IW, right? Because Homecoming introduced a big time skip or whatever. So there's no chance of me getting to see Jessica punch Thanos in the teeth.

I don't think the Homecoming thing was so much a timeskip as a continuity error.

I'm also personally discounting characters we know there are sequels in the works for - Ant Man 2, Doctor Strange 2 (granted in this particular guy's case that's no guarantee he'll be alive at the start of the movie), and Guardians 3. Marvel's also alluded to Thor 4 already being in the planning stages.

I really think it's down to Tony. His solo series is over, he kinda wants out of the franchise, he's metaphorically handed off the torch, he has a clear replacement in personality and temperament (Strange), and I think the MCU has done everything with Tony they can short of making him a father.

He's got the stone in his forehead when you see him as human.

It looked more like a leftover scar at first watch, but I guess it could just be how they decided to portray the stone under his skin or whatever.

I'm just convinced that Vision getting clowned is like the one of the first scenes to establish how powerful Thanos is.

At the end of Civil War (I think?) they pretty much said that the new faces were The Avengers going forward, so it'd be odd if they weren't prepared to dump almost all of the originals by Avengers 4.

Eh, I think it'll be a cold open with Thanos obliterating the Nova Corps to get the first stone. Then we'll go to present time where he attacks the Asgardians, and the tesseract is used to send Hulk to the Sanctum Sanctorum before Thor is beaten and Loki hands it over to Thanos.

Then you probably have the Black Order going after Vision while Thanos goes to New York to attack and get the time stone.

Then the remaining heroes all gather to protect Wakanda where the last infinity stone is.

I could actually see them killing off Loki if they're really married to doing the Young Loki storyline (which coincidentally is probably the best single character storyline Marvel has had this century) moving forward. Incidentally Young Loki allows for Hiddleston to still play Loki, so it's the best of both worlds.

It will be legitimately sad for me if (when) Stark dies because him in the first Iron Man is what convinced me I might actually be watching and happy to see super hero movies for the next decade.

But, it's ok for stories to make me sad.

Otoh they've already had multiple fake deaths/resurrections happen and we're dealing with the Inifinity Guantlet, so really anybody could "die" here and be fine again in a couple years.

The only ones I feel for sure are going to 100% die are the Barton family, which sucks.

Wakanda is home to the Soul stone, so it has to be on Thanos' dance card. Same reason we know Xandar, Knowhere, and the Sanctum Sanctorum are getting trashed.

Yeah but we have evidence of a huge battle taking place in Wakanda and there being some strong focus there. It's not just glossed over as "Thanos hosed up Wakanda and took the stone."

They (unless it was Sony by then; I don't remember) were also very keen on having a spin-off from Die Another Day which would've starred Halle Berry, but I think she was already committed to Catwoman by then.

She was going to do it and later found out the studio cancelled the project in an interview.

Black Panther and Chadwick Boseman seem like the next IM in the sense of how crucial to the overall narrative and the way the character will tie the overall universe together, so it's not surprising, but it's still cool and progressive.

It's surprising because it's a fuckton of black people in a major motion picture that isn't about their blackness.

There's a scene in there where he takes the Aether one from the Collector as well, but I'd be willing to bet this is right.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

Opened my eyes.
I just think that it'd be lame if the titanic demigod villain who wields a legendary gauntled powered by cosmic powerstones that grant reality warping abilities fails to kill a normal middle aged man in a metal suit.

Is Thanos the kind of guy that spares a foe because he's so insignificant? Cause that's the only way I can see Stark getting out of that confrontation alive.

Yea that's my worry. Thanos is absolutely NOT the kind of guy who'd be all 'puny worm you're not worthy of a death at the hands of death himself'. I could see it going where someone like Tony gets Thanos monologueing or something and uses that gap to escape but I can't see anyone getting iced in the MCU universe and it not being 'fixed' by the next movie.

Thanos is an incredibly arrogant villain, so I can see that being used to avoid the 'why doesn't he just murder the guy right now' situation but a movie with Thanos in it not having at least a bit of a body count of characters that matter will feel kinda cheap.

Well, I mean that Thanos might kill someone, but they'll probably just get Infinity-Gauntleted back to life somehow. Or they're somehow clinging to life and gets brought back another way in the follow-up film. Or something along those lines. I don't really see Marvel ending Avengers 4 in any way other than a spectacular triumph for their superheroes.

I could be wrong, etc etc.

If Thanos is the protagonist of the first one, maybe we get to see that his side of things is actually pretty reasonable maybe if CineD is right and Stark IS HYDRA, then Thanos is actually the hero and he wins!

oh yea I'm 100% sure there's gonna be a 'death' or near death scare that gets undone before the credits roll or resolved with 'they'll live...but we don't know when they'll wake up' to set up for that stand alone movie.

To be clear, I get it. The MCU is different, Avengers movies are the big crown jewels, you have to treat them 'right' for the audience and yea 'right' in those cases almost always means 'overwhelming and dramatic win for the good guys'

I forget how the exact argument went but something something Tony Stark ends up unwittingly creating the same kind of philosophy and control that Hydra was about and ultimately he was the villain of the MCU. Also Ultron was either an example of this, or he represented Marxism. Somehow.

Also Captain America is a libertarian?
