Avengers 4 Title Possibly Revealed
Guardians of the Galaxy actor Zoe Saldana might be joining Peyton Reed in the Marvel Studios [...]
Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet
The original Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin, George Pérez, and Ron Lim focused on Thanos campaign to quite literally destroy the Marvel Universe. The story begins with the Mad Titan having previously assembled the Infinity Gems.
Thanos kills off half of the sentient life in the universe in an effort to impress death, then goes on to destroy cosmic entities like Galactus, the Celestials, and Eternity itself.
The heroes are then gathered by Adam Warlock (whose sister Ayesha is debuting in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), who leads the heroes on a last ditch effort to save the universe. But it is Thanos' own daughter Nebula who ends up reversing most of the damage before Warlock gets ahold of the Gauntlet to finally defeat Thanos.
While it's already pretty obvious based on set photos that Avengers: Infinity War will not adapt the comic of its namesake, these developments hint that the movie will be adapting both Thanos Quest and Jonathan Hickman's Avengers event Infinity, in which the Mad Titan leads the Black Order against Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Marvel could outright ignore the news and hope it gets swept away or come out and confirm Saldana's slip. One course would allow rumor and speculation to swirl, probably causing a lot of misinformation to mount. The other would give away a major plot point about the films.
Either way, we're getting very excited about the future of the Marvel Universe and are looking forward to seeing Thanos imminent impact on the greater MCU. Are you excited for Avengers: Infinity War? Rank your anticipation below!
