Yeah, me too. What's wrong with just "Infinity War" with the Marvel logo above it? I kind of wish they'd have done that with Civil War, too.

Exactly, the Marvel brand is big enough for them to do it, they didn't need Captain America or Avengers here. I'm guessing it's more of a "how do we up the stakes in the solo movies that aren't Avengers.

The problem with Tony dying is he's still the most charismatic hero, they already did the sacrifice your life bit in the first Avengers movie, they already "retired" the character in the first movie of phase 2 with Iron Man 3.

They can use him less and even less guest appearances but why kill the most iconic character to the MCU, that got Disney to buy Marvel, and became an A-list hero because of his movies. A final Iron Man 4 would be a great send off, it's not like RDJ needs to do many stunts.

You do need to kill some heroes to up the stakes but the MCU has plenty by now why not another Avenger or Fury? If an actor wants out then just recast them a la 007, no need to "reboot" anything, superhero stories are timeless, I want new stories not re-starting every 10 years. But I guess "What should Marvel do after IW part 2/Phase 4 is another thread topic entirely.
