A Major Avenger Is Going To Die
Well, this is no shocker. Considering the magnitude of the event, it’s only natural that a major character is due to meet his/her maker to solidify the meaning and impact of this movie. If you believe Mark Ruffalo, in fact, it’s likely to be more than one or two Avengers and could actually be all of them.
While we don’t think the Russos will pull a Game of Thrones and murder everyone here, there are a few contracts due to expire – and we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Captain America or Iron Man that meet their fate. Both have had major roles in the MCU, so it’s possible they could be passing on the baton to someone else now.
That said, it’ll be interesting to see if Marvel sticks with these deaths, since killing off a major Avenger will also mean less toy sales and guaranteed blockbuster hits in the future. Will they be brave enough to risk it? Time will tell.
Mjolnir Is Back
One of the key moments (and the most striking) of Thor: Ragnarok‘s trailer was Hela destroying the God of Thunder’s beloved hammer, Mjolnir (yes, we also saw all the angry girlfriend memes poking fun at this). Logically, such a big statement made us wonder if Thor would be hammer-less when Avengers: Infinity War rolls around in 2018.
Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case here, since a behind-the-scenes photo shows one of the Russos holding the fabled hammer; thereby confirming its return. Additionally, the film’s concept art displays Thor wielding the hammer next to Rocket Racoon, so surely it must mean it’ll be part of the proceedings.
Taking the above into consideration, you can rest easy, folks, because Mjolnir will make a comeback (maybe even in Thor: Ragnarok). Suffice it to say, it’ll be hammer time for the God of Thunder and the Avengers.
