Avengers: Infinity War celebrated 10 years of storytelling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but that ending left pretty much everyone's jaws on the floor. After Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half of all known life in the universe, only a handful of heroes were left standing but why were they chosen? Well, Kevin Feige says it all boils down to something many of us actually suspected.
"I think for a film series that is going on 10 years and is gearing towards a conclusion with Avengers 4, which you don’t usually have in these kind of movies, you can sort of do the math," Feige explained. "And realize it’s the original Avengers that are left." This is something many fans pointed out at the time and it does make sense for the original roster to be the ones who take down Thanos.
Leaked promo art for Avengers 4 has confirmed that the team will consist of Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk, Ant-Man, Thor, War Machine, and Captain Marvel and it won't be remotely surprising to see that iconic team shot from The Avengers recreated in the sequel!
