Nothing will be the same after ‘Avengers: Endgame’
It is inevitable that in this review we will reveal some detail that may anticipate some information about the outcome of the film. Marvel has achieved that there are no relevant spoilers and it is not our intention to deal with them, but for the record that we are going to talk about the future of the Marvel Universe.
Speaking to Yahoo Movies, brothers Joe and Anthony Russo who direct the film have commented that the future will take a completely different direction than anything seen to date.
“I think it will be tremendously different. This is like Marvel has been writing a book for 10 years and now that the end is coming, someone is going to write a new book. Who knows what that new book will be like, but this is an ending and a new beginning.”
The Cinematic Universe of Marvel will explore different paths and new characters will be introduced. There is still no official confirmation of how the panorama will be, since we still do not know the end of The Avengers. Still, based on statements from various actors and strategic movements, we can anticipate what we might see.
The Multiverse? New stories from Wakanda? We will have to see what the plot lines are, but for the moment what we have is that brothers Joe and Anthony Russo end contract with Marvel. Would they return to make a saga after Infinity War? Their answer is that no, although as they commented in an interview with Collider, they would be willing to return with Secret Wars, the epic saga where the cosmic being Beyonder faces not only the Avengers, but also the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. . An even more ambitious combination than the current saga against Thanos and whose realization is really far from being able to occur.
Actors ending contract after Avengers 4
The Marvel Universe is full of highly regarded actors. After ‘The Avengers: Endgame’ many relevant actors end their contract. This does not mean that they will die or disappear, but it is possible that his plot lines are closed and in the following films his characters will not appear.
-
Robert Downey Jr, the actor who plays Tony Stark – Iron Man ends contract after the last Avengers movie. It is unknown what his end will be, but in case Marvel wants to continue with his presence, they should renegotiate a new contract with the actor.
-
Chris Evans, the actor who plays Captain America, has shown interest in stopping acting and moving on to directing films, an option that, as we will see later, may have a chance of becoming a reality.
-
Chris Hemsworth He does not rule out playing Thor again although his contract ends with ‘The Avengers: Endgame’. Although the Mjolnir hammer was destroyed by Hela, the new Stormbreaker weapon could be one of the main elements of the hypothetical ‘Thor 4’. Speaking to IGN, the actor has shown interest in returning. Also, in an interview with Screen Rant, he commented that he would like to share a movie with Hugh Jackman and Wolverine.
-
Mark Ruffalo signed six movies starring Hulk. That means he still has two to go, so the actor is expected to continue after the end of Avengers 4.
-
Scarlett johannson It will continue after the Avengers in her role as Black Widow. And it is that although there is still no confirmed date, we do know that there will be a film dedicated to his character. And in fact ‘Black Widow’ will be directed by Cate Shortland, the first female director of a Marvel movie.
Other actors like Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) or Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) would still have a contract with margin for new films. Instead, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow who stars as Pepper Potts would have her last appearance in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, as Variety has hinted.
Disney +, an open door to recover multiple characters
In a long-awaited and important move, Disney announced its video streaming service to rival Netflix. Its name is Disney + with a long list of content among which we will also find the Marvel heroes.
For the moment, Netflix has already put an end to its original Marvel series and has canceled some with quite a pull such as ‘The Punisher’ and ‘Jessica Jones’.
And is that this new streaming service could unleash those stories or Marvel spin-offs that Disney wouldn’t want to turn into movies. There are still no confirmed what these stories would be, but it has been said that Chris Evans would be given the opportunity to act as a director.
Interesting new development on the Chris Evans front … To keep him on the reservation, so to speak, after “Endgame,” Kevin Feige has supposedly offered him the opportunity to direct a few episodes of those limited series that Marvel Studios is prepping for. Disney +.

Some of the rumored projects related to the MCU Universe would be Vision series, The Scarlet Witch or Loki. Although it is not ruled out that characters such as Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon or Groot may have space.
For the ‘Falcon and Winter Soldier’ series Malcolm Spellman (‘Empire’) has been signed, Kevin Feige remains as executive producer and will star the same actors as in the film: Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan.
‘Spider-man: far from home’ and time travel
Kevin Feige, producer of Marvel, is not very given to make statements about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially with the rights that Sony owns. However, in statements to Screen Rant, he was quite direct about When Spider-Man Happens: Far From Home.
According to the producer, the new Spider-Man movie takes place “minutes after the end of Avengers: Endgame.” That is, we know that the fearless hero survives and is in fact one of the characters that resurrects even though Thanos had made it disappear with his snap of his fingers.
This is how he described the time and position of the film at the time:
“A lot of things will happen (in the 3rd and 4th installments of The Avengers), as you can imagine, and so much will be affected that we feel like no one better to realistically guide you to the next incarnation of the MCU, than Peter Parker. The movie will be out for two months later than the last installment of The Avengers and about that much of the Spider-Man movie will be about.
It was purposely done this way. Just like the events of Captain America: Civil War impacted Peter when Tony left him and was expected to continue into his second year … we’ll see how they are going to affect the events of Infinity War and the latest installment of The Avengers in case. , indeed, go back to your first year. “
The theory of time travel could play an important role in the development of the plot of ‘Avengers: Endgame’. A detail that promotes this theory is the confirmed return of Tilda Swinton as The Old Man, a character she played in ‘Doctor Strange’ and who died in said film.
During the end of Infinity War, the character of The Scarlet Witch also disappeared in the click of Thanos, but his confirmation for the Disney + series leaves the door open for him to also be among the resurrected. At the moment the plot of these series is unknown, but that of the Winter Soldier is rumored to be after the end of The Avengers and therefore The Vision and The Scarlet Witch series could also be set after the long-awaited finale.
What films are expected for Phase 4 of the MCU
2019 is probably one of the biggest years for Marvel. More than ten years since the creation of the UCM and we are facing a inflection point for the created universe. Many characters will disappear from Marvel, the Infinity Stones saga will end and the one known as Phase 4 of the MCU will be completely different. But this does not mean that we will stop having superhero movies.
What will these new films be about? There is no confirmed plan yet, but some of the films that are already in development are known.
On March 20, the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney is expected to conclude and with it the rights of the X-Men and the Fantastic 4. Even so, there are currently no rumors that show that these stories have been given the green light.
The movie we know the most about is ‘The Black Widow’, scheduled for 2020 and where Scarlett Johansson will be the protagonist again.
Approximately for that year the Eternals movie, whose production company will be Chloe Zhao. Little is known about the plot, but it is about a distant evolution of humanity created thousands of years ago by powerful aliens called Celestials. According to ScreenRant, Marvel would seek with this film its first openly homosexual protagonist.
Another movie that is already confirmed is ‘Black Panther 2’. For the new installment, an agreement has been reached with Ryan Googler, the same director as the first film. According to Hollywood Reporter sources, the plan is to start writing the script next year with the idea that filming will start in late 2019 or early 2020.
A similar story occurs with ‘Doctor Strange 2’, which will also bet on maintaining the address of the first delivery and will repeat with Scott Derrickson. A screenwriter has yet to be signed, but the new film that will feature Benedict Cumberbatch again is expected to premiere in May 2021.
Marvel will bring the adventures of Shang-Chi, the MCU’s first Asian superhero. Kind of like Marvel’s Bruce Lee. The adaptation is in the hands of Dave Callaham and Marvel is expected to hire an Asian actor to portray this master Kung-Fu superhero.
The last known film of this phase 4 of the UCM is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’. After the firing of James Gunn, the filming of the film has been delayed to February 2021. His arrival was scheduled for after ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ and the script was already done but the change of director disrupted the plans . It remains to be seen if they keep the original idea or finally put order to the long-awaited film and make it fit with the new timeline of the new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
