Avengers Gauntlet?
Lastly today, we all know that Marvel's Avengers: Infinity Wars is in production and as the movie get closer and closer to the big screen, a lot of fans are wandering what will happen in it and also what about Avengers four? What is the title and what could Infinity Wars lead to?
Recently, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, came out and said that the studio would not announce the title for Avengers 4 as it would spoil Avengers: Infinity War. However, in an interview that Zoe Saldana, who plays Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, had with BBC’s Lizo Mzimba, Saldana may have let slip the name of Avengers 4 – Infinity: Gauntlet.
This may not be considered as much of a spoiler but it does suggest what we could be install for in both movies, as this was up for much speculation beforehand. We could now be led to believe that Avengers: Infinity Wars will be about Thanos acquiring all the infinity stones and then Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet will be about The Avengers fighting to stop him from using it.
Marvel Studios haven’t yet made a statement around this supposed leaked information but all will be revealed soon enough.
