AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors Offer Some Big Clues About The Title Of AVENGERS 4
Though we're still a while away from a proper reveal, Joe and Anthony Russo have provided us with some pretty big clues about the title of Avengers 4, ruling out a few popular theories in the process...
Though we have been told to manage our expectations when it comes to the official title of the fourth Avengers movie, fans are still very curious to know what it is. Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo have previously told us not to expect the big reveal any time soon, but the brothers have now given us a lot more to go on.
First off, you can forget about "Avengers: Endgame."
This became one of the most popular theories after Doctor Strange's "we're in the endgame now" line to Tony Stark in Infinity War, but during an interview with Uproxx, the filmmakers revealed that the title is never spoken by anyone in the movie.
Is the title of the fourth Avengers ever spoken in Infinity War?
Joe Russo: No.
Okay, because people have been looking for clues in the dialogue.
Anthony Russo: It’s certainly grounded in the narrative that we have been following throughout the MCU – very well grounded…
In a separate interview with ComicBook.com, Joe claims that none of the guesses he's seen so far have been right - however, "Avengers: Forever" has been the closest. He then jokes that the actual title is "The Avengers: Almost Forever."
The director went on to state that fans shouldn't expect anything close to a direct adaptation of an established Marvel Comics arc for Avengers 4.
"I don't think there are any comics that correlate to it. I think we're in pretty fresh territory with Avengers 4. If anything, I think it's interesting after to go back and look at some of the Marvel films and view them through a different lens. But I can't think of any comics in particular that would have value."
So, no massive reveals here, but The Russos have certainly given us a bit more to chew on! Be sure to share your updated theories on the title with us in the usual place.
