Avengers: Endgame is tasked with bringing the first eleven years of the MCU to their point of culmination, while also laying the groundwork for whatever’s next in the superhero saga. It therefore goes without saying that a lot of importance is being placed on how the Avengers: Infinity War sequel will conclude, and in an interview with Collider, directors Anthony and Joe Russo offered a few insights.
It was back in 2014, when the DCEU was still a one-movie universe, that Dwayne Johnson confirmed he’ll be the superhero saga’s Black Adam. But while it’s one thing to say that you’re playing the popular comic book villain, it’s another to get in front of the camera and actually assume the role, and almost five years later, we’re still waiting for that moment to come.
Avengers: Infinity War made a big impression on audiences with its genocidal conclusion, and perhaps the one dusting sequence that affected audiences the most was the demise of Peter Parker. Since Spider-Man is currently supposed to be dead, actor Tom Holland was absent from the recent Avengers: Endgame press conference, but Robert Downey Jr. was still present to reflect on his experience shooting the scene.
As the release of Avengers: Endgame looms closer, directors Anthony and Joe Russo have started a social media countdown by recommending one Marvel movie every day for fans to watch in preparation.
Avengers: Endgame has been the subject of more speculation than any other MCU movie to date, but even less than three weeks away from the film’s much-hyped release, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo have said that no single fan theory has got it quite right.
In November of last year, legendary comic book creator Stan Lee passed away, though not before filming a few more of his patented cameo. Last month’s Captain Marvel, for instance, featured an unusually meta take on the tradition, as the writer appeared as himself reading for his part in Mallrats. But in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, it looks like Lee is finally bringing his run of cameos to a close.
Despite the insane levels of hype currently surrounding Avengers: Endgame, the biggest Marvel-related event of 2019 is really the Disney/Fox merger, which opens the floodgates for a whole load of comic book characters to enter the MCU.
As one of the original stars of the MCU, it’s long been assumed that Captain America will be completing his run in the franchise with Avengers: Endgame. And while the team at Marvel Studios is reluctant to confirm either way, actor Chris Evans has heavily hinted that the speculation has it right.
A new Nebula model from Iron Studios has fans all the more convinced that Avengers: Endgame will feature an attack on the HQ of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
