So Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner, and before the movie hits theaters I wanted to present to you a theory (I can't do it afterwards because if it's right no one will believe me. I'm sure you would believe me, right?). It will also involve Avengers 4 and a couple other movies.
Anyway, this theory is kind of complicated so let me just give you some background information first. Let's start with the basics; there are six infinity stones being the time, reality, power, soul, space, and mind stones. In the next Avengers movie, Infinity War, Thanos will try to collect all these stones. With them he can destroy the universe (how scary!). Doctor Strange, the guy on the left of the image above, is in possession of the time stone. With it he is capable of reversing time, like what he did with an apple in his movie (just look it up if you don't remember). That's all! Now I can tell you my theory!
My theory: everyone dies (kind of). Let me explain. I think that everyone except a couple of people will die at the end of the movie. Then, in Avengers 4, the remaining Avengers, using the time stone, go back in time to gather the dead Avengers from the past and finally defeat Thanos. I say that they go back in time with the time stone because, well it's logically the one you would use to time travel and, if you look at any of the promotional material for Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos is never seen with the time stone. This means he probably won't get possession of the time stone, so it would be easy for the Avengers to use it. He is seen with (as far as I know) at most four out of the six stones, and the time stone is not one of those four.
If you've seen any of the set photos from Avengers 4, it seems as though the movie will revisit moment from older movies, like The Avengers. However, if you look up "Avengers 4 time travel" on the internet, you'll see plenty of theories about time travel in Avengers 4. However, none of them mentioned that all the Avengers die or some of the other information I'm mentioning. These set photos do support my theory though.
To continue, when these Avengers go back in time I think they will also go get some new Avengers. For example, Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel is a superhero that we will see for the first time at the beginning of next year in her very own movie, so Avengers 4 would be a perfect time to introduce her to all her super friends (not the DC cartoon from the 70's). But her movie is supposed to take place in the 1990's, so how come we haven't seen her yet? Well, she will probably die or she will disappear at the end of her movie. Then in Avengers 4, the Avengers will go back in time and save her and then they will all go back to the future and fight Thanos together. Also, they could go get Ant-Man, the Wasp, and Hawkeye who are probably not in Infinity War or at least they don't have a big part. That would allow them to have a larger role in Avengers 4.
Not enough evidence for you? Well I got more! Remember in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Scarlet Witch made Tony Stark have a vision where he saw all of his fellow Avengers dead? Was this foreshadowing for Infinity War? I wouldn't be surprised because Thor's vision also foreshadowed the events of Infinity War.
One last piece of evidence, okay? Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk, a while back, said in an interview that everyone dies in the movie. There we go! Theory proven! Well, maybe not. It is likely he was just making that up, but there is still a chance what he said was true.
Ok, this has been a long post. But I'm done! Thanks for reading all the way until the end! What do you think will happen in the next two Avengers movies? Tell me your opinion in the comments (please) !
