The biggest movie of 2018, Avengers: Infinity War has set up what is going to be the biggest movie of 2019. There is a reason why Avengers: Infinity War Part II was changed and Avengers 4 is going to be titled something else. People may assume that it will be a direct sequel to Avengers 3, but the creatives from Marvel have revealed the fact that these two Avengers movies are totally different from each other, so naming the last one Infinity War II just felt wrong.
Having seen the set photos of Avengers 4, it is believed that the film will begin with a certain time jump. Earlier people presumed that the time jump will either be around a few months or even 2 years. But a recent tip from a reliable source, Daniel RPK has confirmed the fact that Avengers 4 will begin 5 years later. He tweeted:
Starting things off 5 years later would make sense compared to the drastically changed appearances of the characters. The concept arts that we have seen show us pretty different looks of these Avengers and that may only be justified with a time jump. Still, 5 years is going to be a pretty long time. The fans were interested to see how the world will cope up post-snap. Will things be good or bad. Will Thanos’ way be effective and work? It seems that Marvel will directly show us the result of how the world has been so different after the snap.
Also, another one of the facts that support this 5 year time jump is that Marvel has cast an older Cassie Lang for Avengers 4. So that matches with the theory that Scott would get sucked into a Time Vortex within the Quantum Realm, and that is how he will land on earth 5 years later where he will meet his daughter who has grown older. But this journey that Scott has made will ensure the fact that Time Travel is possible so all the Avengers who are alive will work a way out to travel through time and go back to the past to stop the snap from ever happening.
A Redditor named u/Literally_MeIRL has come up with a pretty elaborate theory which explains that there is only one way to beat Thanos and that theory also states the same thing, which is that Scott will make a time jump of 5 years. Here’s the plot of Avengers 4 according to this theory:
“My rough time line as to what will happen in Avengers 4:
Scott Lang will emerge from the Quantum Realm via a Time Vortex, unfortunately he’ll do so 5 years after the snap.
He will immediacy seek out Tony Stark once he realizes the world has gone to hell and he can’t find his daughter.
Tony will have become the new head of SHIELD trying to hold the world together after the events of the snap.
Tony will also be wallowing in his improved BARF machine trying to find a scenario where they could stop Thanos. Reliving his loss over, and over again.
Seeing Scott reunite with Cassie will spark the idea of having Thanos undo things himself because of Gamora. (Remember he witnessed Thanos anguish over Gamora first hand on Titan.)
Scott’s jar of Quantum McGuffin juice will come into play, Tony will also have possibly confiscated the Quantum tunnel in the years since it was left abandoned on top of a parking garage.
They will need to contact Nebula to use her memories to construct a scenario to make Thanos feel remorse. This will not go over well with the already emotionally damaged Nebula but she will assist.
This is where the remaining and newly introduced galactic characters come into play. Which are really just Nebula, Rocket and perhaps Captain Marvel.
They don’t know where Thanos is so they travel back to the Battle of New York to track him.
They ultimately have Thanos undo what was done by using the BARF.
Nebula gains control of the weakened (no Soul Stone), but still very powerful gauntlet to get her revenge.
Insert epic battle here.
Steve and Tony must make a sacrifice to gain control of the Soul Stone and undo the new damage Nebula inflicts.
One of them falls to let the other gain control of the stone.
The other falls undoing the damage.
A new status quo is set, the heroes are restored but both Iron Man and Captain America are gone.”
A good attempt but we would obviously have to see the original thing. Avengers 4 comes out on May 3, 2019.
