In 2018, the Avengers will make a comeback to theatres when the team’s third franchise film hits theatres. Avengers: Infinity War is set to debut next year, and the massive project will see Earth’s mightiest heroes align with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and more. The film will be the first of a two-part feature with Avengers 4 expected to hit theatres in May 2019. However, for the time being, Marvel Studios refuses to comment on what the second movie’s title will be – and fans know why now.
Apparently, it all comes down to spoilers.
Recently, the president of Marvel Studios was asked directly about Avengers 4 in an interview. It was there Feige confirmed a long-held suspicion about Avengers 4 when he admitted the film’s title was a spoiler. When it was asked that if the secrecy behind the movie’s name was due to its revealing nature, Feige said, “Yeah, for sure.”
Later in the interview, the interviewer attempted to force out whether Avengers 4 would still see Thanos act as its big bad. However, Feige was far less forthcoming with that information. The producer would only say the films are “two very different movies.”
Right now, there is no telling what the fourth Avengers flick would be called. The title will no doubt connect to the events of Infinity War, so anything is possible. The confirmed spoiler could refer to any number of things. It may reveal who wins the galactic battle against Thanos or even announce if one of the MCU’s superheroes is killed off in the next Avengers film.

As for when the title will be announced, it will be next year unless any leaks manage to spill the name early. In a press event for Marvel Studios recently, Feige said the company wants to hold onto the title for “as long as possible.” Well, the fans who do not want any spoilers would want that too.
