'Avengers: Infinity War’ Theory Tracker: A Running List of MCU Possibilities part-2

 

In our last blog we discussed about some of theories related avengers4 untitled movies, like 

the Iron Man-sorcerer supreme theory,the Vision resurrection theory and the Quantum Realm theory. 

In this blog we will proceed the theories related to the movie.

so lets get started

The Sacrificial Gauntlet Theory

Ever since the stakes began to heat up in The Winter Soldier, fans have predicted that Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers/Captain America would sacrifice himself for the greater good with one of his buddies taking up the mantle.

This theory adds a bit of context to that potential self-sacrifice, with Vanity Fair speculating that ol’ Cappie will trade his life so that Stark can wield the Infinity Gauntlet. As we saw with Thanos and Gamora, the Soul Stone requires a sacrifice of a loved one in able to be used. How better to mend the fences broken between these two MCU-defining characters in Civil War than with Captain America showing just how much he really cares for Tony?

 The good guys have used an Infinity Gauntlet a time or two in the comics and even though the MCU takes a lot of creative liberties, this seems to be something they’ve been setting up for awhile. Cap’s worthiness to wield great power has been a point of discussion ever since he nudged Thor’s hammer in Age of Ultron. Something big has to happen here.

The phrase “we don’t trade lives” is thrown about a few times in Infinity War. The heroes that vanished were greener Avengers and many of the originals made it out OK. In Avengers 4, there could be some trade-off of life; a soul for a soul.

 The Time Travel Theory    

 

Most of us assume that some sort of time travel trickery will be used to resurrect many of the heroes who vanished in Infinity War. Squawk all you want Marvel, but there’s no way you’re leaving billions of dollars on the table by not making sequels to Black Panther or Spider-Man: Homecoming.

But that isn’t the only use of time travel that might be on the table.

*Possible Spoiler Warning for Avengers 4*

Leaked set photos from the upcoming sequel feature characters in older costumes and in familiar locations, such as the Battle of New York from 2012’s The Avengers.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has even said that “different realms” will be explored in the MCU capper: “They can be separate geographically, or separate in time—not just in place, but in time. So there’s almost—it’s not quite infinite, but the directions we could go are extraordinary.”

 Will we be revisiting certain key moments from the MCU’s history

The Gamora Theory

Thanos kills Gamora in order to wield the Soul Stone, but is Gamora really dead? Fortunately for fans, one half of the Russo brothers decided to comment on the matter.

One of the biggest points of speculation that Infinity War generated was over the scene between Thanos and young Gamora after he wipes out half of the universe’s population.

To this, the co-director explained (via TheRealStanLee.com):

“Yeah, it’s implied that it’s the Soul Stone. It’s all orange around, then [Thanos] is inside the Soul Stone with the amount of power that it took to snap his fingers. He has this out-of-body experience. [Gamora], in fact, is [alive]. It was an attempt on our part—because we won’t like two-dimensional roles or three-dimensional villains where every villain is a hero in theor own story. And as insane and psychotic and brutal and violent as Thanos is, he’s a more complex villain if you go on a journey with him emotionally.”

If Gamora is indeed alive and trapped within the Soul Stone, it stands to reason that the rest of our departed heroes are also there too in the Soul World. Hopefully, a couple of key deaths will stick to add some emotional weight, but this looks to be the most sensical way to bring back the fan-favorites.

so thanks for reading the blog.
