A number of high-profile actors from the MCU have been confirmed as having wrapped their time on
Joe and Anthony Russo‘s
Untitled Avengers Movie in recent days, but now the directing duo themselves confirm that
Avengers 4 is well and truly wrapped. I’m still not expecting an official title until after the May 4, 2018 release of
Avengers: Infinity War, but I’m placing all my Bitcoins on it being
New Avengers or some variation on that theme. Remember, the actors/characters of the MCU as we know it didn’t just wrap on the most recent Marvel movie, they may have actually wrapped on the entirety of their Marvel
career.
Marvel Studios boss
Kevin Feige recently confirmed that, with another 20 movies on tap that are taking the MCU in a new direction, and the fact that contracts are expiring on major actors like
Robert Downey Jr.,
Mark Ruffalo,
Chris Hemsworth,
Scarlett Johansson,
Jeremy Renner, and
Chris Evans, we’re going to have to
bid farewell to some very famous faces. And since
Avengers 3 and 4 were shot back-to-back with the latter’s title being withheld for spoiler reasons, it makes sense to keep the casts of both movies under the same roof, all the better to keep story spoilers under wraps.
Avengers: Infinity War arrives this May, with the “finale” of
Avengers 4 dropping about a year later on May 3, 2019. Be prepared.
