Kevin Feige Reveals Avengers: Infinity War Will Be Some Characters' Final Chapter

While there are still three movies on the docket before the next Avengers movie is released in theaters, the hype for Marvel Studios' next blockbuster crossover event continues to build.
The cast list for Avengers: Infinity War seems to include every major hero that has been featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, and mastermind Kevin Feige has said this and the still-untitled Avengers 4 will serve as the culmination of every movie thus far.
But that doesn't mean every character we've come to know and love over the past decade will ride off into the sunset, as Feige's comments seem to indicate that some might end up meeting their doom in the battle against Thanos.
In an interview with JoBlo, when asked if Infinity War would serve as the final chapter to some characters' stories, Feige bluntly stated, "Yes." He later expanded on that.
"We have another two years of hard work to even finish these movies," Feige said. "And they [the actors] have a lot of hard work to do, so that's all we're thinking about, is completing those and delivering on the promise of those. Where it goes beyond that, we'll see."

It's not entirely surprising that Infinity War would carry some high stakes, and the deaths of a character or two would certainly contribute to that. And when it comes to the power of Infinity Stones, nothing is ever set in stone.
But we can't help but feel there is some unfinished business for some characters — is Black Widow going to bite it before she ever gets a solo film? We hope not, that's just a waste of potential.
We'll learn more as we get closer to the release date for Avengers: Infinity War on May 4, 2018.

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
Avengers: Infinity War is described by Marvel Studios as the culmination of everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Iron Man in 2008. The movie is filming now under directors Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
