Marvel Studios should start releasing official content from Avengers: Endgame very soon but, in the meantime, the leaks continue coming. Yesterday, we got a new look at both Ronin and War Machine but now some action figures and promo art offers up some fresh shots of Captain Marvel, Captain America, and Iron Man.
In the case of Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, they're decked out in their white Quantum Realm (space?) suits and it's quickly becoming clear that this armour will play a huge role in the proceedings.
A lot of Avengers: Endgame merchandise is hitting stores months before we expected to and it's hard to believe that Marvel Studios is happy to let that happen; ultimately, it's probably one of those decisions that are out of their hands. With the Toy Fair right around the corner, though, here's hoping that these toys are finally revealed courtesy of some glorious hi-res images.
For now, you can check these out by clicking on the "View List" button down below.
Brie Larson shot her role in Avengers: Endgame before Captain Marvel so the costume is the same but her hair looks a little different. Beyond that, very little revealed is about what we can expect.
Steve Rogers has regained his classic costume and shield but he's also decked out in what many fans believe is a Quantum Realm suit which will help the Avengers travel into that mysterious dimension.
Seeing as Iron Man already has technologically advanced armour, you wouldn't think that he would have to wear one of these. From a storyline perspective, explaining this promised to be very interesting.
For a recap of what some more recent Avengers: Endgame
toy leaks have revealed, continue reading below!
Look At Their Hands...
We'll talk more about these costumes a little later in this post but did you notice what's on their hands? Back when Avengers: Endgame was shooting, we saw set photos featuring characters like Captain America, Iron Man, and Ant-Man revisiting the events of The Avengers and Steve Rogers was even decked out in his suit from the 2012 release.
However, they all had some pretty strange looking devices on their hands and most of us assumed that they would be used to transport the heroes back through time.
Well, these suits also have those on them (incorporated into the costumes themselves rather than separate) and that has to mean something, particularly as the prevailing theory is that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will need them to travel into the Quantum Realm.
Thanos Still Has The Infinity Gauntlet
Since Avengers: Infinity War was released, we've seen quite a few leaked images of Thanos suited up with a massive double-edged sword. Most have assumed that comes as a result of the Infinity Stones having been spent by the effort it took to wipe out half the universe but this action figure confirms that the Mad Titan will still be wielding the Gauntlet here.
He may not be as powerful as he once was, though, because something has resulted in him having to don a full suit of armour and using that sword as a weapon rather than the Gauntlet and it probably comes as a result of the damage the snap ended up doing to his arm.
The Chitauri Are Returning
While it's fair to say that most of us assumed the Chitauri had been wiped out in The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War confirmed that the aliens are still controlled by Thanos. Now, with the Outriders defeated in Wakanda, he's clearly going to be calling them back into action, right?
Not necessarily.
With Earth's Mightiest Heroes set to revisit their first battle against the aliens, common sense says that we'll see the Chitauri there and that could be the extent of their role in this sequel.
Black Widow's Ponytail
In the trailer for the movie, Black Widow still had her blonde hair from Avengers: Infinity War. However, that shot of her talking to Clint Barton definitely pointed to some time having passed from her scenes with Steve Rogers to that as it appeared to be red and tied into a ponytail, something we saw in some leaked images last year.
Well, this action figure confirms that Natasha's new hairstyle will indeed be a red ponytail for those of you who care about such things and it's definitely a pretty solid look for the hero.
Ronin's Mask
It's no longer a secret that Hawkeye will be taking on his Ronin persona in Avengers: Endgame but this toy packaging finally gave us a proper look at the mask the hero will be wearing in the movie.
While it certainly bears a resemblance to his comic book counterpart, the hood is new as is the fact the hero's eyes are exposed. The gold colouring appears to be there, though, and as costumes being adapted to screen go, I'd say Marvel Studios has done a good job.
Valkyrie Returns
There was sadly no sign of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie in Avengers: Infinity War but we've been hearing rumblings for a while now that she could return alongside Korg for Avengers: Endgame.
Well, this action figure appears to confirm that because while the line includes a number of heroes who are currently dead, the packaging for them references past movies, whereas the one for this character does not. That means Valkyrie is going to play some sort of role here and while we have no idea what that's going to be, her slightly updated costume is very cool indeed.
Hulk Vs Thanos: Round 2?
I may have the complete wrong end of the stick here but I do think this could be noteworthy.
The Hulk action figure (which is from the same line as Thanos) features what appears to be a random piece of debris but I'm pretty sure it's something the Jade Giant could use as a makeshift sword when he finally goes toe to toe with the Mad Titan in this film.
We need to see them go head to head again and while I may be seeing something that's not there, I'd love to hear if you have any theories of your own at the end of this breakdown!
Rocket Suits Up
It's important to note that the theory Earth's Mightiest Heroes are wearing these suits because they're travelling either into the Quantum Realm or back through time is just that: a theory.
However, it really doesn't seem as if it's going to be as simple as them needing these costumes to travel into outer space because Rocket has one as well and we've seen on a number of occasions that he can just wear his own, regular gear while in that atmosphere. It's also worth noting that his suit as the Avengers "A" on it which points to him now being a member of this team.
Thor Shaves His Head?
In some leaked prototypes for Avengers: Endgame Funko Pops, we didn't see too many surprises but there was at least one! Upon closer inspection, it appears as if the God of Thunder will be shaving his head at some point, something we haven't seen in other action figures (hence the question mark).
It could be that this was Marvel's plan at an earlier point in production but this would be a vastly different look for the hero and one which definitely brings back memories of Jason Aaron's "Unworthy" take on the hero. Something tells me that he might be feeling that way after failing to take out Thanos.
Rescue's Armour
While it's considered a spoiler by some, Pepper Potts will indeed be suiting up as Rescue in Avengers: Endgame and this action figure further confirmed what costume she will be wearing here.
As you can see, it's pretty much been torn straight out of the pages of the comic books and while we don't know the story behind why she suits up, this is clearly something we'll be seeing in the trailers and on posters before the movie hits theaters seeing as she's part of the merchandise hitting shelves.
Will she be the one who "rescues" Tony Stark from space? That certainly seems pretty likely.
The Suits
So far, we've seen pretty much every member of The Avengers decked out in these new black and white suits so they're clearly going to factor heavily into the movie and aren't just being released as toys that actually having nothing to do with the movie itself. They look like a combination of Tony Stark and Hank Pym's technology so a trip into the Quantum Realm at the very least looks likely.
There's no way that Janet Van Dyne's mention of "Time Vortexes" can be a coincidence, so chances are we will see these characters travel back to the events of The Avengers (and other key moments in the MCU's history) in order to try and set things right and stop Thanos once and for all.
