Yeah, it's still due out in 2019, and I read an interview with one of the Russos the other day talking about how some days they'll shoot 3 and some days they'll shoot 4.

Whereas Justice League part 2 is just not even hapenning.

I know what they said but I still think Avengers 4 is connected directly to Thanos/Infinity War.

[ProactiveMan]

Like they'd have any idea if they got it right or not.

Agreed. Thanos has had less than 5 minutes of screen time thus far, and I don't expect to see him outside of post-credits scenes in Guardians or Ragnarok. Doubt we'll see him at all in Spidey or Black Panther.

I don't see how they wrap him up in just one movie.

I think Avengers 3 and Avengers 4 will carry the same overarching plotline, but they'll each tell complete, full, stories. No Desolation of Smaug **** where it ends on an almost literal cliffhanger.

Perfect way to sum it up, this is what I assumed when they announced "no Infinity War 2" as well.

I think Avengers 3 and 4 will indeed be connected but A3 being more of an "ending' to the first three "phases" and A4 a "passing the torch" initiating phase 4.

You guys are kinda proving Cubed's point about the FF's relevancy by continuing to make the thread all about the Avengers movies.

I would personally LOVE to see a good Fantastic Four movie. It has elements we've never seen before in a comic book movie:

1. A TRUE family structure and bond
2. A married couple fighting/working together
3. A legitimate sovereign nation and its head of state as the antagonist

**** no no doom. We have had too much doom. Give us the mole man and annihilus in the first two movies.

I'd rather watch paint dry than discuss a Fox produced FF movie.

Obviously he's just a troll, but to say everyone born after 1980 wouldn't like them is silly. Several animated shows, some significant comic runs (especially the Waid stuff) and their legacy alone keep them relevant.

And being the huge Spider-Man fan that you are, I'm surprised you aren't clamoring to see Peter and Johnny on screen together, now that Spidey is being done right (despite being 16... again. But he could be in college as early as the sequel).

We've had some half assed Doom. Marvel would give us real Doom.

FAKE DOOM! SAD!

[Dust]

Make it rated R then maybe it'll work
I kid of course, but Fox should do what they did for Deadpool and Logan and to let the director make the movie how they want to. Granted, it's not a guarantee that it'll be good, so they need to find the correct director for it.

Or just do the simpler thing and give the rights back to Marvel.

[GoldMutant]

Last time the Fantastic Four had their own series was World's Greatest Heroes, which was a decade ago. Other than their appearances in the various Marvel cartoons (the Marvel Animation "Universe," Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Super Hero Squad) and Super Skrull being playable in UMVC3, that movie was the last main thing they've appeared in individually.

I really wish they could get an actually decent piece of other media past WGH (I personally liked it), but the general audience doesn't seem too interested. If placed in the hands of the right person though, they could be fantastic. (Pun totally intended)

You don't want the real Doom? By that same logic, you don't want a real Venom, a real Lex Luthor, or a real Galactus. Just because previous movies did the character terribly doesn't mean the character can't and shouldn't be done well.

Not as the first villain. Its what dc keeps getting wrong giving us paralax first in the gl movie giving us zod first in the man of steel movie and then following him up with the death if superman. It's called a slow burn you don't do the heavy hitter right off the bat.

I wouldn't want venom in the first movie either. I also wouldn't want venom to come in the same movie as black suit spider-man either.

Probably something like that, if anything. But I don't foresee "Infinity War" to end on some kind of, "To be continued... Thanos will return in the next Avengers!" Thanos will be dealt with at the movie's end, but probably Avengers 4 will "pick up the pieces," so to speak. Marvel movies don't really lend themselves well to cliffhangers when their universe is constantly moving. It's not like we'd see a cliffhanger ending on, say, Doctor Strange 3, and then get a bunch of other Marvel movies, then after all that pick up in Doctor Strange 4 where the 3rd one left off. That's just not the way it works.

But there won't be a bunch of movies inbetween the two. At the most there will be one

[ToTheNines]

Ant-Man 2 comes out right after Infinity War, and Captian Marvel comes out right before Avengers 4.

By this logic nobody born in the 90s should have ANY interest in ANYTHING after 1989...but low and behold...they DO! Amazing, isnt it?
